Elizabeth Taylor… My Bespoke Cocktail Ring

September 21, 2014 By Sage 2 Comments

I posted a sneak peek of my newest lady to my Facebook page last week, now here’s the finished ring… another bespoke piece by way of London’s Hatton Garden.

Last month in London, I tried on a fabulous 1960’s cocktail ring which had unfortunately been set with Victorian era diamonds.  I loved the ring, but the diamonds were a deal-breaker.

So, I asked if the jeweler’s goldsmith could copy the ring using modern brilliant cut diamonds, and a month later she’s on my finger!

She’s so Mad Men… just under five carats, consisting of 18 quarter carat stones and one slightly larger stone at the center, set in platinum.  Perfect to wear whilst sipping martinis in a little black dress! bespoke jewellery london hatton garden

I’m not usually into replicas, but this was a perfect opportunity to reuse the diamonds from my old eternity band and since Elizabeth Taylor was infamous for her jewelry collection… and her eight marriages (Robert hopes I’ll stop at two), this ring could have no other name :)

P.S. She’s coming to the wedding, on my right hand!

Once upon a time, I had the chance to move to the happiest country in the world!

My restless Aries spirit liked that idea, so I did what any girl in my position would do… I grabbed my cat, booked a one-way ticket to Denmark, and became an expat!
