Hugh’s Ring

A dear old acquaintance recently got in touch with me about commissioning a ring; it was her long-term boyfriend’s upcoming birthday and she wanted to get him a special piece of jewellery without giving the suggestion of marriage or proposal. She liked both the Elcho Falling Ring design and the Anthracite Ring, but felt the peak on Elcho Falling was too high and jagged, but the Anthracite ring didn’t have enough dimension.

So we worked together to create this design, keeping the texture of the Anthracite Ring, but giving it a rough, rocky peak sitting slightly off-centre from the top so it didn’t look too uniform. She opted to keep the inside black and industrial-looking; so I finished it to the point just before final polish, then blackened the piece which gave the inside a rough and masculine matte finish.

I love working on commissions because it breaks up my routine; but also because creating unique pieces for people to mark special occasions is very rewarding.

It was delightful to hear that Hugh loved his gift and it fit him perfectly.
