A Design Challenge

Earlier this month we were approached by a client who had been left a treasured pair of earrings by her mother who very sadly died earlier this year.

With two daughters, her wish was to create two pieces of jewellery that could be given to her daughters as a loving reminder of their beloved grandmother.

The challenge for Chris was to create two pieces of jewellery for two very different personalities. Even the girls’ mother doubted it could be done, as the girls differed hugely in their styles and fashion tastes.

The consultation was in-depth, to say the least. The client even brought in photos of her two girls to highlight their different senses of style.

Chris then designed two very different rings, one in white gold and one in yellow gold. One, quite contemporary (pictured), one more traditional. Each using the diamonds from the original earrings.

Our client viewed the designs and was delighted! They have now gone into production in our workshop and are due to be presented to the girls later this year. We’ll keep the blog updated with how they’re received.

It’s always a challenge designing something to suit an individual personality, particularly if it’s a surprise and they’re not actually involved in the decision-making. However, Chris’ experience and talent as a designer meant that this was yet another roaring success.
