Jewellery Odyssey:
Trilogy, originates from the Greek word ‘trilogia’ which was created from the prefix ‘tri-’ meaning 'three' and the suffix, ‘logos’ meaning ‘story’. In jewellery vocabulary, the term is used to refer to a piece that contains three stones and is most commonly associated with rings. Just like the storytelling of ‘trilogia’, Trilogy Ring's have many meanings: “friendship, love and devotion”, “family” and most popular “past, present and future”. The classic trilogy ring includes three diamonds. Other variations include a colourful gemstones, as either the centre stone or as the side stones.
Gem Lore:
Diamond - derives from the Greek word ‘adamas’, which translates to ‘invincible’. Today, the meaning somewhat refers, to the gemstones excellent hardness (ranking 10 on Mohs' scale), hence diamonds are highly resistant to be scratched or abraded by another material, other than diamonds itself. Moreover, diamonds possess the magical phenomenon of fire, which relies on the facetted gemstones ability to disperse (split) light, into a rainbow of colours.
The ancient Egyptians thought diamonds symbolised life, and the Pharaohs were known to place the gemstone in the centre of an ankh cross. Whereas, the ancient Greeks believed diamonds to be the tears of the gods or broken splinters from fallen stars. Alternatively, in ancient Roman literature it is noted that Cupids arrows were ‘diamond tipped’, maybe one of the first references that associates the gemstone with love.
Aquamarine - can be broken down into latin words ‘aqua mare’, which simply translates to ‘sea water’. The gemstones notable blue hue, is frequently compared to the sea, from its name to the assortment of references in ancient literature. In greek mythology, the gemstone is known to be created by Poseidon from seawater or washed ashore from the treasure chests of sirens. The romans believed the gemstone to bestow protection and luck, when travelling at sea and quickly became referred to as the ‘Sailor’s gem’. Today, aquamarine is thought to symbolise serenity and tranquility.
Ring Resizing Service - How To Request Your Size:
If the current ring size listed under the details section, does not match your requirements. Please complete the enquiry form: including the reference code of the ring, which is located above the price, along with the ring size you need.

*Please Note: our resizing service typically requires a timeframe of 10 to 14 working days to complete. Rings that have been resized, cannot be returned for an exchange or refund.
Can Any Ring Be Resized?
No, depending on the design and setting, some rings cannot be resized. Whilst other rings can be safely resized up or down, by one to four sizes.
Are There Limitations To Resizing Rings?
Yes, it is important to appreciate that rings are made to fit their current size. When a request is made to significantly reduce the current size, it can result in the band developing an oval shape. Equally, increasing the size beyond a certain point, can alter the curvature of the band. Such modifications can potentially compromise the stability of settings, that hold gemstones securely in place.
As a result, there are limitations on how much a ring can be resized without compromising its structural integrity. If a requested size change impedes the durability of the ring, alternative solutions such as incorporating a half shank or soldered beads, if appropriate can be suggested.
Remember there is only about a 1mm difference between each whole ring size. For more information on what to consider when finding your size, read our blog: "The Factors Affecting Ring Size”.
Jewellery Care Precautions:
Avoid direct contact with: perfume, lotions, skincare, hairspray / other chemicals. Remove, your jewellery: when showering, swimming (as both chlorine and saltwater will react with metals), washing your hands / using hand sanitisers, before going to bed or when participating in physical activities (going to the gym, exercising, gardening, housework etc….).
Beware, metals may tarnish over time due to oxygen contact and natural body oils. Prevent items from being exposed to moisture and direct sunlight, for long periods. Store jewellery in a dry place away from humidity, in a pouch/jewellery box and keep each piece separated from each other. Care, for your jewellery by cleaning with a soft dry cloth.
White Gold:
White gold is not an element and does not occur naturally in a pure form. Pure yellow gold is mixed with alloys of white metals (such as palladium) to produce, a silver coloured alloy, known as white gold. It is further coated in a precious metal called rhodium (an element that derives from the same metal family as platinum), to increase its lustrous sheen and protect it from tarnishing and scratching.
Over time with exposure to oxygen and moisture, the rhodium coating will naturally wear and you will begin to see the natural yellow colour of gold. Rings will experience this more than other types of jewellery. The general guide for re-applying rhodium coating to your rings is between 1-2 years. However, the rate of wear depends on the pH level of your skin, exposure and contact to chemicals. For professional cleaning and rhodium coating, our workshop will provide the TLC your jewellery needs.
Diamond:
Hardness: 10 | Toughness: Good | Stability: Excellent
Low Caution: A very durable gemstone, generally it is safe to use in; Jewellery Cleaners (Dips, Ultrasonic, Steam Cleaners).
Gemmological Observation: Diamonds have excellent hardness, this means only a diamond can scratch/abrade another diamond. To avoid scratches, store your diamond set jewellery separately. Diamonds only have good toughness, as they possess perfect cleavage. This means that if knocked in the wrong direction, the diamond can cleave/fracture. Whilst wearing, you will need to avoid: Sudden Impact (sharp knocks). If the diamond is heavily fractured, you will need to avoid using: Jewellery Cleaners (ultrasonic, steam cleaners).
Aquamarine, Beryl:
Hardness: 7.5 | Toughness: Good | Stability: Good
Mild Caution, Avoid: Sudden Impact (knocks), Heat, Jewellery Cleaners (ultrasonic, steam cleaners).
Gemmological Observation: Clean with mild soapy water and dry with a soft cloth.
