Birth Stones Ruby jewellery

July Birthstone, the month of the Ruby…

The July birthstone is Ruby. JULY, the month of the ruby, is now upon us.  This stone is considered to be the gemstone of love, energy, passion, power and zest of life. This makes it the perfect present for that special someone either celebrating a 15th or 40th wedding anniversary, or those that have summer birthday. Here at Pruden and Smith our professional designers have created ranges of unique gemstone jewellery using the Ruby. All of our products are hand-made; each is unique providing the perfect gift.

The ruby comes in a range of colours from pink to dark red, with different shapes, cuts and sizes such as Princess cut or rough cut. For example, these two lovely rings:

Best price for scrap gold

At Pruden and Smith we offer you the best price for scrap gold.

With the pound plummeting and the economic uncertainty produced by Brexit, gold prices are rocketing today. It is a good time to sell any scrap silver gold or platinum that you have been thinking of parting with.

Best price for scrap gold

Bring your gold in today for a quote from our expert team. They will test and weigh your silver, gold or platinum and produce an accurate quotation based on the up to the minute gold price. Once we have done this, it is up to you to choose the time that the gold is scrapped. As the rate rises then your gold will be recalculated. Only when you give the go ahead will the rate be set against the market price. In this way you will be ready to get the best prices available for your scrap gold, platinum or silver today. This is how we offer you the best price for scrap gold.

We also recycle gold and platinum.

Once tested it is melted in a crucible like the one above and milled out into sheet or wire and sent to the assay office for marking and testing and is then ready to be used in a new piece of jewellery. We do this for environmental and sometimes sentimental reasons if the gold is coming from a treasured inherited piece of jewellery. With the pound so low the cost of precious metals and gemstones, which are all imported, has risen. This means for UK residents there has never been a better time to consider recycling your old jewellery into a fabulous new design. Here are some examples of gold, diamonds and gemstones that have been recycled from another piece of jewellery.

Bespoke rings Birth Stones Stacking rings

Bespoke Stacking Rings Ever Popular

Bespoke Stacking rings have been in the spotlight for a few years now. Our first edition was this simple stack of tourmaline pears shaped stones in 18ct yellow gold settings on a silver shank.

Is it because it’s just about the most fun you can have with a ring? Never dull, never the same. Mix and match. They’re getting more adventurous: this one is based on three bands and set with Amethyst, emerald, citrine, sapphire and diamond.

Bespoke Stacking Rings with Amethyst, Citrine, Diamond and Sapphire 18ct Gold

 

If you’d like to commission a set we will help you pick your colour range and shapes from diamonds, coloured gemstones or rough cut diamonds or gems from your own from jewellery you want redesigned and put them together into a stunning set of bespoke stacking rings. Or choose one off the shelf. We try to keep a few sets in stock in our Ditchling Gallery handmade in our onsite workshops in Sussex. Whether you choose our neat rough hammered 1.2mm square shanks to support smaller gemstones like these rough diamond stacking rings, (available off the shelf) or 2mm court shanks for larger stones, there is a stacking ring to suit all tastes.

Personalise your bespoke stacking rings

by choosing your families birthstones or just choose from the colour palette that you love.

Stacking Rings Diamond

Starting with the largest stone on the central band stacking rings work best if you work outwards in size so the smallest stones end up on the edge. It’s surprising just how many stones we can fit in, as in the ruby and diamond stacking ring pictured below.

Ruby and Diamond Stacking Rings

Along with size and quantity its also fun to mix up the shapes in a ring. The ring pictured below is made in white and yellow gold and is set with a clients own half carat emerald cut and baguette cut diamonds.
