JESSIE
A modern and bold engagement ring with an emerald cut diamond and custom cut green sapphires
“Rickards goes to great lengths to get to know the style of the woman who’ll wear each piece, encouraging clients to be brave and ignore what they think an engagement ring ‘should’ look like.” THE TELEGRAPH
THE STORY
Andrew described Jessie’s style as unique and minimal, combining statement pieces with paired back essentials. Initially he thought to create the ring as a surprise, but once we had embarked on the process, he felt she would really enjoy being involved.
They always wanted the focus of the ring to be on a single central stone, in a simple but bold design. We selected an emerald cut diamond perfectly suited to Jessie’s style with its bold rectangular shape and elegant step facets. Setting the diamond on a minimal gold platform, we chose to place the stone in a stepped bezel to give it added definition. The front and back of the ring is decorated with our HRJ signature arch of gemstones, here we have set green sapphires, a colour that has always resonated with Jessie and features heavily in her wardrobe.
