Design Stories
The process of finding your own unique piece of jewellery can be exciting or sometimes daunting, but most likely very personal to you. Fiona has over 8 years of experience working on custom made designs for a wide range of budgets. For customers who have a very clear vision or for those who are unsure of where the process will take them. These design stories have been selected for inspiration and to showcase some of Fiona’s favourite designs.
Jarem’s ring
The design brief here originally began by looking at Celtic pattern and branches/nature within a ring design. Also the integration of the colour red, to symbolise a connection to the wearers homeland. The client was presented with 6 initial designs, from there they chose one that was developed further on paper before being modelled in Silver.
As it became clear that the ring had a very organic and 3 dimensional feel to it, Fiona felt the best option would be to carve the design in wax. This allowed for this beautiful layered leaves to grow around the setting of the ring.
The stone was narrowed down to a Ruby or Garnet, and an Indian Garnet was selected. An excellent choice for the stunning contrast with this 9ct Gold ring.

Testimonials
“I was lucky enough to get a necklace from the Cherry Blossom collection as a gift and have received so many compliments while wearing it. When friends 30th birthdays came around I knew they would love pieces from Fiona’s collections, they make such special presents.
Having watched Fiona at work, I’ve seen the love and care that goes in to each piece of jewellery and have such an appreciation for her amazing creations. I can’t recommend highly enough.
