Specialising in coloured gemstones and diamonds, Antonia prides herself on sourcing rare gemstones and traditionally hand-crafting bespoke ring mounts and settings that stand the test of time. Most popular product… My top selling products recently have been rings featuring teal-coloured sapphires.

With most coming from mines in Montana and found closer to the surface of the earth, they’re a great option for those looking for a more ethically sourced gemstone. Key trends this year… Coloured wedding bands. Whether it’s incorporating birthstones to represent loved ones, or spicing up your classic diamond ring with a new punchy coloured band to contrast. It’s a memorable and fun way to incorporate a touch of individuality to your ring stack. Top tip for accessorising your big-day look… Sentimentality has forever been the best way to accessorise. I’ve created countless bespoke pieces to include birthstones, engraved names and sentiments, or incorporate gemstones from heirlooms passed down from loved ones.
