Fine jewellery holds more than just beauty – it carries stories, memories, and deep sentimental value. When our client approached us with an exquisite yet time-worn art deco ring, we knew this beautiful piece did not require a redesign, but rather restoration. The ring, featuring a stunning sapphire, had been loved and worn for around 100 years. It was our privilege to breathe new life into this heirloom, ensuring it could be cherished for another century to come.

The central sapphire, a significant gemstone, had softened over the years with visible wear on its facets. Rather than replacing it, we carefully polished the stone, restoring its crisp edges and original brilliance whilst preserving its history. The surrounding diamonds, set in a striking art deco formation, were meticulously reset into a brand-new platinum setting to enhance their sparkle and durability.

This commission was a true collaboration, with the couple deeply involved in every step of the process. Our focus was not on creating something new but on honouring the craftsmanship of the past whilst reinforcing the structure to stand the test of time. Our goldsmith introduced subtle yet essential reinforcements within the setting, ensuring that this piece of unique jewellery would endure daily wear whilst maintaining its intricate detailing.

The final result is an elegant antique ring, encapsulating all the glamour of the art deco era with renewed strength and longevity. It is more than just a piece of jewellery – it is a legacy. Now revitalised, this ring is ready to continue its journey through generations, a true testament to high quality craftsmanship.
