Celtic Elegance


Custom designing is such a journey for me everytime. I get to meet new clients and each new client is a new inpiration to create that truly unique piece.



I was called in into an existing project to find a Celtic loveknot matching wedding bands. The clients seems not too thrilled with the pieces we found for them and the best route to take was to create something from a sketch. I wasn't too sure if I can create the exact ring they were dreaming of, since they seem to be very decided on what they want. I started sketching and presenting them with my initial concepts they became really excited that I drew their existing idea.



Celtic loveknot pieces are readily available from a few of our suppliers but they wanted something truly unique, but they didn't know how to explain their concept. A good relationship with a client can be truly rewarding since it would be lot easier to understand their needs.



The concept was perfect and the clients were very excited on the project, we started out to source out a supplier to create our shoulder panels. I opted to buy the panels from one of my suppliers since it would be too precise to carve out on a wax and or hand make it. It was a long 6weeks wait since these pieces where casted overseas but it would be totally worth it when they crossed my bench. The pieces were perfect for our rings, next item on the list were the diamonds and nothing was compromised with 2 matching VS/GH diamonds used in these rings. The diamonds where gorgeous and just PERFECT.



With the 8 weeks wait from concept to finish piece I can proudly say that the rings turned out GORGEOUS! The sparkle on my clients eyes when they saw their rings are nothing short of breath taking..
