I think that the longer I make the simpler my work is becoming.
I want to make work that will wear well, and is not about fashion, but about beautiful materials used simply.
I have been hesitant about using larger stones, as often in the jewellery world, larger is seen as better and the word bling comes into play, a word that I do not like, as bling work seems to be a statement about money and status, more than about worth.
I made this ring because I loved this stone when I first saw it.
So it lead me to making a larger setting to hold it.
I wanted the ring - like the Pledge and the To Hold rings, to look worn, old and wonky.
Like a ring that had a history to it.
When I see these colours together, I always think of the sea. These sapphires are not just one colour and change according to the light, a lot like the sea and rock pools, which is why I mostly look for these stones, and that is what makes them precious to me.
There is only one of these rings. I do not make 2 or 3 and have them in reserve stock as there is only one of these stones.
