Your collection is beyond comprehension. Honestly I'm not sure I would be able to pay any attention to the world around me with those jewels! They are beautiful and seem museum worthy almost, that blue diamond especially. That emerald cut looks like it has its own light source. I also really love your wedding earrings, they are stunning!
This may be asking too much, but I don't suppose you have any ability to take a video or two of all your sparkling beauties?
The quality of your jewellery and the settings is incredible. Do you have your bench work done in the UK or USA? I only ask because short of Bond Street, I rarely see settings as well made. Absolutely knock out collection.
Thank you! We’ve had work done in both countries. The diamond and sapphire engagement ring, the blue diamond, the white studs and eternity band all were done in the U.K. with the same artisan— he’s phenomenal, just a really lovely guy and his after care is also excellent. ( I’m happy to share his name if that’s allowed?) He’s also done some pieces for my husband (his wedding band, custom cufflinks) and he’s our only guy in the U.K. When we know we’ll be over in London a lot over a period of time, we just take our stones to him and let him work magic. We’ve used three different people in the US and they’ve all been good, but we haven’t been quite as happy with any of them as we’ve been with our London guy. If I’m honest, I don’t love the setting of my emerald cut (I think the claws on the asscher are just so much better) or the diamond necklace I have (I haven’t posted that here, it’s on a different thread where I was seeking help to fix the issue with rolling.) Those were both set in the US and I really think it would have been better if we’d had them done in London. But those are, I totally understand, real first world problems. We’ve still been really lucky with the results we’ve had.
Wow, just wow, thanks for sharing!
Hope you could join us at a UK GTG to show us your amazing collection one day!!!

Just a breathtaking collection! Museum worthy. I have the baby version of your asscher diamond and sapphire ring!

Definitely feel free to share the name of your jeweller! I ended up sending a ring to the USA recently to get it reset as I could not find anybody who I liked over here. What a pity you don't truly LOVE your EC, would you consider a reset?
@TravelKat thanks for the recommendation re: the bench you used in UK.
I have reached out to Simon and have asked if he would set my mum's MRB in an open bangle, plus another stone that deserves a nicer ring setting.
