Green and Purple

Our lovely friends commissioned this emerald and diamond ring

made in 18k yellow and white gold for their engagement.  
A bold statement for a bold lady.

Their wedding was fabulous.  

We hadn't been to a wedding for a few years and then just like buses three came along in as many months.

It meant the chance for Trevor to get his morning suit out and empty the pockets of monogrammed golf tees from the last wedding!

His new purple suede Paul Smith brogues set off the suit a treat. 

Two garden weddings and the third at the lovely Otahuna Lodge 

which dates from 1895.

Trevor has just completed an animated illustration for one of our clients, how times have changed from the presentation of the coloured pencil drawing!

Just passed 1000 pins on Pinterest.  Follow me at Pinterest

Big Pink

A beautiful pink sapphire and white diamond engagement ring designed and made 

in rose gold and platinum for one of our clients just before Christmas.

On a larger scale....

The largest fancy pink Golconda diamond ever to be offered at auction has sold for 

US$39.3 million that's $10 million more than its estimated price, setting a new record.  

The 34.65-carat Princie Diamond sold at a Christie’s auction in New York last Tuesday. The sale price achieved a new record for the most valuable diamond ever sold at Christie’s, surpassing the previous house record set in December 2008 with the sale of the Wittelsbach Diamond. 

It is also now the most valuable Golconda diamond to ever sell at auction.
