Keeping memories alive is part of giving her clients peace of mind. It's integral to her bespoke work, especially when repurposing a piece of heirloom jewellery.
What can you do with a loved one's wedding ring, after they pass away?
Jean kept Stuart’s ring safely in a drawer for some time after he died, before she felt ready to build on the memories they shared. Stuart spent many years running the Weavers Guild. So I designed a necklace for Jean to wear, to remind her of these treasured memories. The woven detail was created using fine 9 carat gold wire to reflect his time at the guild.
The Faberge inspired Easter egg
Inspired by the master craftsman Carl Faberge's Easter eggs, Ruth Mary designs her own limited edition silver lace egg. Be inspired as the story unfolds!
