Boho Chic Jewellery For 2017

Silver and silver gilt (gold plated silver) “Boho Chic Jewellery” or “hippy chic” jewellery has never been more popular and is influencing our new jewellery collections. With it’s mix and match, multi coloured vibrancy these pieces are celebratory in nature. Perfect for driving away the Winter blues and spicing up your Christmas Look. The fashion has it’s roots in tribal jewellery both ancient and modern from around the world. Inspired by naturally occurring materials: rough gemstones, shells, seeds, fossils, feathers  combined with manufactured objects: gold and silver beads and found objects: antique greek coins and pieces of roman glass.

My current favourite statement necklaces: Limited edition Emerald Cleopatra Necklace, Roman Glass Necklace, Rough Sapphire Necklace and Bracelet. These striking contemporary necklaces use gemstones in its naturally occurring rough form. The Roman glass has been buried for hundreds of years giving it it’s antique finish.

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.

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.

Unique Stacking Rings

Stacking rings are an extremely popular choice of dress ring. They are also a fabulous way of combining a wedding, engagement and eternity ring to create the appearance of one solid ring. Often a stacking ring can be made from unused or unwanted stones, they can then be made into a design that works with random stone shapes. Equally, stacking rings work with stones of the same shape, they can fit together in a pattern that could potentially be alternated by changing the order of the rings. The great thing about stacking rings is the fact they can be worn alone and then collected as a set over a period of time – there are countless possibilities with wearing stacking rings, making them a casual piece of well loved jewellery. The picture below is a great example of reusing randomly sized old stones into a brand new design. This is a popular service we provide to our customers.

Diamonds Gold Jewellery Recycled Jewellery Rings Ruby jewellery Stacking rings

New Tricolour Stacking Rings – Reusing Old Gold Diamonds and Ruby.

This stunning new set of unusual stacking rings were made using recycled gold from jewellery that was no longer worn by the owner. The metal and stones from the unwanted jewellery were remodelled into these stunning new dress rings that can now be worn and enjoyed every day.

Stacking rings are an excellent way to reuse old stones from unwanted jewellery because they make excellent use of stones of different sizes and shapes. At Pruden and Smith we love to create bespoke commissions to breath new life into tired or damaged jewellery that is no longer worn.

If you are looking for a unique dress ring or just something to wear everyday, stacking rings could be the perfect choice. Stacking rings offer the perfect opportunity to build up a collection of collectable jewellery by ordering a ring for each special occasion. You could even tailor the design to suit the occasion for example order a birthstone ring to celebrate your loved ones or perhaps something for your ruby wedding anniversary or diamond wedding anniversary.

If you would like more information about stacking rings please contact us on 01273 846338 or at info@prelive.prudenandsmith.com

Unusual Gold Jewellery

All the designs at Pruden and Smith are created by our own fantastic designers including unusual gold jewellery. They come from a little seed of imagination and then grow into a beautiful design to be then created into something really unique.

We love creating new designs so you will constantly be seeing new images on our Pruden and Smith website.

Our unusual gold jewellery is no exception, with other jewellers trying to emulate some of the unusual and bespoke jewellery we create. Based in Sussex, we sell to customers all over the South east of England, with customers coming from London to visit us and we even receive commissions from abroad – our reputation growing daily.

Take the nugget range for example – unusual gold jewellery at its finest – with some fantastic designs in our ring, bracelet pendant and earring ranges. We even have cufflinks in this same range! We always take our time when looking at new designs and the nugget range has been a popular choice since 1988 when they were first born.

18ct yellow gold roman inspired ring

Never mass produced, these pieces of unusual gold jewellery are made individually and that random form is part of their charm. The strong and beautiful ‘S’ catch, which shows our hallmark, is an essential part of the originality. They can also be made for you in silver if that is your choice.

Or how about looking at some of our rough diamonds? Some really unique pieces of unusual gold jewellery and will look stunning as an engagement ring, an eternity ring or even a wedding ring! Or if you just want a gorgeous present then they look fabulous as a dress ring ♥

The designs we have created to date include either diamonds or rubies, to ensure a rough and uncut look – really unusual!

However you can always choose a single rough diamond, emerald or ruby in your ring – this can then be worn separately or part of a stacking ring – all perfect choices and will look wonderful for your choice in unusual gold jewellery.

Don’t forget there are always special commissions for jewellery. If you have an idea for a piece of unusual gold jewellery, then why not have a chat with our designer Rebecca. Here’s one we created from used diamonds in another piece of jewellery – a great way to recycle your jewellery!
