18ct Yellow Gold Sandcast Ring with Bezel Set Heirloom Rubies & Diamonds
Our lovely customer had a collection of beautiful, but unworn, jewellery containing these spectacular rubies. They hoped to incorporate these sentimental rubies and four of their sparkly white diamonds into one beautiful, wearable ring, so we worked closely alongside one another to develop a bespoke design for a stunning statement piece. For detailed information on the possibilities of reworking precious metals & gemstones from unworn jewellery, read here.
We drew inspiration from across our Commissions Gallery, in particular from our Unique Sandcast & Rough Sapphire Ring with Own Diamonds for the organic wavy shape of the band that wraps around gemstones. We also looked towards our Sandcast 9ct Yellow Gold Wedding Set with Royal Blue Sapphires for inspiration on the gently undulating shape. Choosing to set the gemstones in bezels offers more protection, while still showcasing the beautiful stones. Explore our collection of commissions with bezel settings for further inspiration on this protective style of gemstone setting.
The finished ring feels incredibly sculptural, yet organic. We love how the precious heirloom rubies & diamonds seem to almost float between the bands of the ring. We also love the glow of bright yellow 18ct gold, with the texture imparted by the sandcasting process almost glittering alongside the stones. Our customer chose sand from a personally meaningful location for their ring to be cast in, as an extra touch of sentimentality in an already special ring.
