Jewelry We Bought For Ourselves

I had this ring designed by Maria at the North Way Studio. It was my 1st personalized piece. Just before this ring, all my jewellery had been mainstream, mass-created, and retailer purchased. It was interesting to have enter into the layout – I pulled inspiration from her in-inventory and custom parts along with other classic parts I cherished.

When I went down to pick up the concluded ring, Maria was accomplishing a pop-up with Catherine and I lastly got to meet up with her (and see the GB rings) in particular person immediately after following her for a extended time. This was even right before I dreamed of performing for her.

I named this ring Rose Whiskey – it’s a 1.93 imperial pink zircon (not to be bewildered with cubic zirconia) set in rose gold. The basket sits significant in a cathedral location, there is tiny diamonds in a concealed halo, and hand-carved leaves creeping up the sides. It was the epitome of every little thing I liked at the time.

This ring was my 25th birthday existing to myself. Turning 25 felt monumental (a quarter century) so I required to do a little something more exclusive to commemorate it. I had my birthday engraved on the within so that when I go it down to my youngsters it has added indicating. If my young ones ever get rid of it, I adore the concept of a stranger discovering this mysterious engraving within.
