A few months ago, I made an eternity ring for my friend Alana. She wanted a simple yet modern diamond ring in white gold. After a few one-on-one consultations, Alana decided that she wanted the width of the band to be 1.8mm to match her engagement ring. She also wanted white diamonds all the way around the band.

While working on the ring in my studio in Southbank, i had the idea to contact her partner to see if he wanted to have a special message engraved on the inside of the ring shank. A few days later, he came back to me with some beautiful and personalised words. The inside of the band was very fine, however, the engraver and i managed to fit each word in.

The most fulfilling moment of this project was seeing Alana's reaction to her partner Rio’s engraved message in the ring. It was such a special moment and one that will always stay with me. Personalising your special jewellery pieces with engraving techniques is such a great way to create timeless heirlooms.

Last September, I was asked by my friend Ryan to produce a custom ‘Push Present’ design for his wife Sarah. A "Push Present" - for those who don't know - is a special gift to celebrate the arrival of a new baby.

This new baby turned out to be the beautiful baby boy Forrest, who was born in October. One of my initial design ideas was to incorporate Forrest's birthstone – the White Opal - into this piece to make it customized and personal. When sketching up my ideas, I then thought it would be really nice to add another personal touch to the design and include a blue sapphire. This is the birthstone of September, and the month their eldest daughter was born.

I noticed that Sarah often wears silver and white gold necklaces, so I decided that creating a neck piece to add to her neck "gallery" would be the perfect option for Sarah. That way, she would be able to wear this piece every day and treasure it forever.

To create this special piece, I used white gold, white diamonds, a white opal and a blue sapphire. This has definitely been one of my favourite custom design pieces that i have created to date!
