Tying the knot with sea treasure

​Within the same few weeks we were visited by some wonderful customers who we absolutely clicked with and soon felt incredibly privileged when they asked us to make them one-of-a-kind engagement rings and a wedding band to mark their most memorable days.

Just Married!

​A huge congratulations to Chris and Nicola, who marked their special day with the giving of a Wave Wedding Band which perfectly hugged their new Sea Glass Engagement Ring. A beautiful, dainty green piece of Whitstable sea glass was selected by the couple for their single stone ring as it wonderfully reflected his life on the sea and her paramedic career. For practical reasons a smooth rub over setting suspended in a very slight tapered shank was drawn up and fabricated alongside my first wedding band made to fit around an engagement ring.​​ 

Using a bit of mathematical logic (that I didn't realise I had) I fabricated a flat band, pierced out a section just over the width of the sea glass setting and under tension, I soldered in the silver piece that mimicked the shape of the setting. Low and behold, a wedding band that tucked tightly against their new engagement ring was ready for polishing.

​After their big day we received the most beautiful message from them both.

“Megan made our tying the knot extra special with an amazing set of rings. After getting the new engagement ring Chris proposed a second time down on the beach at whitstable. Absolutely beautiful having our memories built in our favourite place and having that extra special ring that seals the deal made by such a lovely father and daughter. Thank you both so much.”

Newly Engaged!

​We are also so thrilled for the newly engaged Jake and Grace! Jake approached us wishing to propose to his now-fiancé with a ring that truly symbolised them both. Their fond memories of the southwest coast entwined with the traditional use of diamonds was channelled into making a perfect ring for his proposal in their favourite place. 

​Set into a 9ct Yellow Gold tapered ring skank sits a naturally pear-shaped green piece of sea glass collected from Whitstable Beach paired with two tube-set  round diamonds.

The emotions were running high when he and his family arrived to take the ring home, and its moments that we share with our customers like these that make bespoke jewellery making so worthwhile.
