ARABELLA

An elongated octagon cut sapphire flanked by complimentary geometric tapering diamond baguettes and decorated on each side with a signature HRJ diamond arch

“She said yes! And the ring… the ring has exceeded every expectation and imagination! Thank you so so much for all of your help / hard work / speediness! She is absolutely over the moon with the ring (and I hope with me!)”

THE STORY

Although the ring was for a surprise engagement, Bella had given some strong hints of exactly who to come to should the moment arise (wise girl!). She is an interior designer, with a great eye for colour and composition, so Fraser knew he needed the ring to be perfect.

We started with the HRJ designs that Bella loved, using these as style references. She has stunning strawberry blonde hair, and beautiful freckles, so we needed a colour palette that would suit her complexion. We thought a beautiful dark green sapphire would perfectly compliment her colouring, it is also a colour that features a lot in her wardrobe. When it came to designing the shape and scale of the ring, I knew her long elegant fingers would be suited to a bold chunkier ring (also reflecting her style and her bold character).
