Charlotte’s story doesn’t start in the conventional way, because when we first met it wasn’t for her remodel but for a valuation/sale of some jewellery for her partner. But then, every story starts somewhere!
As we were chatting about her partners jewellery, and then more generically about what I do, she had a lightbulb moment!
Charlotte had a few pieces in the safe which she released she wasn’t wearing and was unlikely to wear. They were all inherited or gifted pieces, so she didn’t want to sell them, but find a better way to bring them all together.
The question over what piece to remodel all the jewellery into was an easy one – a ring. Charlotte said she didn’t really have any rings she wore daily, and this would be a great way to have a constant visual of all the gems in one place. She also wanted to have some earrings made for her daughter, so two diamonds from the 7 stone ring went towards some simple but beautiful studs. Once into the crux of designing, Charlotte wanted to add in the birthstones of the ladies in her life (daughter, mother and grandmother) to add some colour. The design flowed easily and quickly we had a ring Charlotte loved.
When the ring came out of the workshop, I almost didn’t want to hand it over! A stunning bubble ring with little pops of colour, it really was a beauty.
Charlotte was over the moon with it and now it has a very special place on her finger until one day, the story gets passed to her daughter continue.
"Sophie has done a truly amazing job transforming sentimental but unworn jewellery into a beautiful ring I can cherish and wear every day."
