So - let's talk jewellery regrets. My biggest regret is when, on the death of my grandma I received a sum of money to buy a memento and I was talked out of buying a diamond and emerald trilogy (looked much like this) because and I quote the opinionated jeweller "it did nothing for my skin tone". Being an impressionable 18 year old I left with a white gold and pink sapphire ring - and the guilt still eats me up. 

So when I saw this ring in the pile of rings I was raking through - my heart skipped a beat - would i finally be able to replace my grandma's ring. Alas no, although I have been seriously tempted to size it and keep it as a place holder while the search continues. 

This amazing ring is a multi claw delight - white gold on the top, and yellow on the shank. The side stones are glass - or cubic zirconia - and that middle stone appears to us to be green onyx - and we are totally obsessed with the colour and the opaque haze.

FAQ

Sizing

What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.

We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.

Current prices are: $40 for sizing down, $40 for rhodium plating (all white gold rings), and sizing up starts at $50 - and depends on the carat of gold, width of band and number of sizes. These are subject to change at any time and remain linked to the volatile changes in precious metals.

Time frames - sizing is usually complete within 3 weeks.

Lay-by

As well as Afterpay and Paypal Pay-in-4 which are available at checkout, we also do traditional lay-by.
