Unique rings for any occassion

Crafted in-house by our team of goldsmiths

A stunning modernist diamond solitaire & fitted matching band. Sculpted by the retired Halifax goldsmith James Bradshaw, this ring set is one of a kind artwork. Set with one 0.98ct uniquely cut diamond, containing 85 facets, 28 more than a traditional round brilliant diamond (and it shows in the increased sparkle & pattern of fire.) This would make a truly spectacular engagement set. This signed, never-been-worn piece was acquired from the personal collection of Bradshaw.

About

Modern Era

(1990 - Present)

Our Era: Full of everything from Bling to Gothic. Layered necklace, stacking rings, yellow gold and pieces that make a flashy statement are just some of today’s current trends. 

Starting off the 90s with religious themed jewellery and dark gothic themes. Matching sets also made a comeback- it was essential to match your jewellery colours to your outfit. One of the most famous pieces of jewellery from this period was the “Heart of the Ocean” from the film Titanic.

At the beginning of the 2000s, we head back into “White on White” as the preferred style. Engagement rings were often seen with a Princess cut diamond set in white gold. The “Bling” Era also began. The more diamonds, the better. Large name plate pendants coated in diamonds as well as diamond encrusted rings are often worn by rappers and influencers.

In the 2010s, we start to see more of the trends we recognize today. Layered necklaces and stacking rings are some of the most popular styles of our time. Next time you’re running errands or taking a walk have a look at the people around you and see the jewellery of our era in action!

Diamond - Carbon

The world’s most popular and recognizable gemstone- diamonds first appear in history books as early as the 4th century BC in India where they were used in trade. Slowly, they found their way to Western Europe. By the 1400s, diamonds were becoming all the rage with Europe’s elite. When the 1870s arrived, annual rough diamond production was under a million carats a year and by the 1990s it was over 100 million carats a year. Diamonds are the birthstone for April and are considered the traditional stone to propose with. They rank 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it the defining material for the scale.
