Engagement Ring for Guys

  • Olivia Wheldon

When my longterm boyfriend left me one night, with a ring en route from his grandmother to my hand, I enrolled on a course and taught myself to make jewellery. Now, I've made a ring for someone else's finger and it's been the most healing, cathartic process. Full circle. Just like the ring. Three glorious Australian teal sapphires sparkle in a band of solid sterling silver. The stones are set using the ancient cast-in-place method, with some soldering to attach the shiny orbs. Ellie commissioned this ring to propose to her boyfriend with during a trip to the Italian Lakes... but Ash had other plans. He got down on one knee at the waterside and she pulled out the ring! Serendipity.
