EMERALD CUT SINGLE STONE
This was one of the first bespoke pieces we made when we started Shersby Jewellers. We made this ring for a friend of ours, after her coming into our shop one afternoon and saying her husband had said, “Go and find whatever ring you like”. When she came in and described what she wanted, and to be honest I knew exactly what she was after, she took a ring from her handbag, passed it across the table and said “That’s what I want, a ring just like that”. The ring was a child’s toy ring from a Christmas Cracker. The request was for the same shape and size as the toy ring which was a 3 carat Emerald Cut Diamond and to be made in platinum. 
We sourced the stone from a suppler in Antwerp, we showed her the stone two days later, and she agreed that was what she wanted. She then asked if she could have it for a party on Saturday, so I rolled my sleeves up, went to the workshop and started the ring immediately. As we can be completely in control of the manufacturing process we can, if possible, achieve all our customer’s requirements. She did wear the ring to that party on the following Saturday. |
COMET RING
This was a ring we made about the same time as the Emerald Cut Ring; a lady came into the shop, told us that she absolutely loved Stars & Comets, and wanted a ring made from platinum using both those themes. I must be honest I did scratch my head at that request, but after a few hours with a pencil and piece of paper, this is the ring that we sketched out. 
The five-pointed star had a .02-carat Brilliant Cut diamond at the end of each point and the centre stone was a .50-carat Brilliant Cut, with graduated Brilliants set on the band. This ring I must say myself I found absolutely stunning and to this day still one of my favourite bespoke pieces. The customer brought the ring back six months later and asked to have diamonds set all the way round the whole band, making it a full eternity ring. We have made hundreds of bespoke items for many customers, but these are always two that stay in the forefront of my memory. If you have any special ideas, please contact us and we will turn them into a reality for you. |
