I carry you with me
This ring was made from two existing rings that had deep emotional value to her. The process began with an appointment where we discussed what she liked and what appealed to her in my collection. After several meetings and carefully picking out a stunning pink tourmaline, I began reworking her gold rings.
A commission full of love, sadness, mourning, but also a glimmer of joy. The result is a unique piece of jewelry that carries her fond memories while telling a new story.

To alternate or combine
Her existing gold jewelry was given new life in the form of four unique Elevance rings. One of the rings contained a diamond from one of her original jewellery, while she chose a beautiful combination of gemstones for the other three rings.
Together, the rings form a versatile set that can be worn in combination or separately.
A wonderful way to transform existing gold jewelry with emotional value into a piece of jewelry that fits you perfectly.

Daughter’s
An existing wedding ring formed the basis for a new, personal piece of jewelry. The ring remained as it was, but was completed with a set of three beautiful gemstones chosen by her and an engraving in her mother’s handwriting.
A piece of jewelry that not only shines, but also carries a lasting memory of her mother and the love that connects them.

Green & Gold
Her parents’ wedding rings form the basis of this special piece of jewelry. The rings were kept in their original form, soldered together and custom-made for the wearer. She chose a deep green, oval-cut tourmaline as the focal point, surrounded by delicate granules around the setting case.
A beautiful ring that not only shines, but is also a tangible bearer of many fond memories.
