This dress ring comprises of seven round mixed cuts: two amethysts, two citrines, one garnet, one peridot and one blue topaz, all securely set within a bezel setting. The gemstones are wonderfully interspaced with thirty-two round brilliant cut diamonds. These diamonds have been expertly set within a bead and bright setting. The dress ring is split into three strands, whereby the gemstones are evenly dispersed. The ring is mounted within hallmarked 9ct white gold.

Gem Lore:

Amethyst - derives from the Greek word ‘amethystos’, which translates to ‘not drunken’. The ancients greeks believed the stone to behold the power, of preventing intoxication. In ancient Persia, if Amethyst was carved into the sun, it was believed to deflect witchcraft. Amethyst, possesses a variation of intensity: from deep purples with subtle red glints, to pastel lilacs with hints of blue. The symbolisation of protection, has evolved in recent years, to being associated with healing and peace, frequently used in meditations techniques.

Topaz - has been linked with the ancient Greek word ‘Topazions’, which was an island in the Red Sea. The island is currently referred to as ‘Zabargad’ in Egypt (and can further be translated to St John’s Island in english). Coincidentally, the island mined many yellow and green gemstones and incorrectly referred to them as Topaz. Alternatively, the name is thought to derive from the Sanskrit word ‘tapaz’, which translates to ‘fire’. The Egyptians believed that their Sun God Ra, provided the stones golden colour and protected the wearer from harm. Topaz naturally comes in white, yellow, brown and with the aid of treatment, pink and blue. Blue topaz possess a range of shades from: pale 'Sky Blue', to moderate 'Swiss Blue' and vividly saturated 'London Blue’.

Citrine - derives from the latin word ‘citrina’, which translates to ‘lemon’, alluding to the gemstones vivid, honey, yellow hue. In ancient times, the gemstone was known as the ‘merchants stone’ and it was believed that it could bring prosperity and wealth to the owner. The Egyptians were the first to discover Citrine and use the gemstone as a talismans. Citrine thrived during the Hellenistic period in ancient Greece and was frequently fashioned into stones, with engraved gods or goddesses. In addition, the ancient Romans associated the gemstone with Apollo, the god of the sun and light. Citrine is thought to symbolise success and hope.

Garnet - derives from the Latin word ‘garanatus’, which is translated to ‘seed-like’. The discovery of small red crystals bared a similar resemblance to pomegranate seeds. It is not widely known, that garnet can come in a rainbow of hues from red, orange, green and purple. However, red garnets are far more commonly seen with subtle overtones of purple, orange and golden brown. The gemstone has anciently been believed, to bring balance and harmony to the wearer.

Peridot - derives from the Arabic word ‘faridat’, which translates to ‘gem’. Peridot was first discovered on Topazions Island in the Red Sea, 300BC. Now, known as the Zabargad Island in Egypt or St John’s Island. Peridot has since become the national gemstone of Egypt and it is perceived, that many of Cleopatra’s mysterious jewels were adorned with Peridots, rather than Emeralds. It has been said that it was Cleopatra’s favoured gemstone and regarded by the Egyptians as ‘the gem of the sun'. Peridot is thought to symbolise compassion and harmony.

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.

Request Current Ring Size To Be Altered:

If the current ring size listed, is not the ring size you require. Please fill out the form below, requesting the size you need and we will respond within 2 working days. We will answer any question you may have, estimate lead times and let you know you how much this alteration will cost.

Please note, that whilst ring sizes (depending on the setting and style of ring) can safely and easily be sized up or down, one to four sizes. Rings were generally made to the scale of their current size. Requesting a ring size a lot smaller in size then the current size, can make the bottom band of the ring become oval in shape. When making rings larger in size, our highly skilled workshop will seamlessly add a piece of metal, into the bottom of the ring. If a size is requested that will impede the structural durability of the ring, than depending on the setting and style, alternative options such as: half shank or soldered beads, 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.

Amethyst, Crystalline Quartz:

💎 Hardness: 7 | 💪 Toughness: Good | ⚖️ Stability: Good

♥️ Extreme Caution, ⚠️ Avoid: 💡 Light, 🔥❄️ Thermal Shock / Extreme Temperature Change, 🌪 Steam Cleaners.

💛 Mild Caution, ⚠️ Avoid: 💦 Solvents (💅 Nail Polish Remover), 🧪 Acids / Detergents / Chemicals, ☀️🔥 Heat, 🔊 Ultrasonic.

🔬 Gemmological Observation: Avoid leaving Amethyst in strong light/heat, as colour may fade, with prolonged exposure. Quartz is pyroelectric, this means that when the gemstone experiences a change in temperature (for instance heat from the sun/lighting) it causes a low-level electrical attraction to fine dust particles. Therefore, you may experience that any quartz-set jewellery may need frequently cleaning.

Topaz:

💎 Hardness: 8 | 💪 Toughness: Fair | ⚖️ Stability: Good

♥️ Extreme Caution, ⚠️ Avoid: 🔨 Pressure / Knocks, 🔥❄️ Thermal Shock / Extreme Temperature Change, 🔊 Ultrasonic, 🌪 Steam Cleaners.

💛 Mild Caution, ⚠️ Avoid: 💡 Light.

🔬 Gemmological Observation: Avoid leaving for long periods in strong light, as in some cases the colour may fade. Avoid any rough handling that can cause abrasions. Topaz has a low toughness, as it possess moderately easy cleavage, which means that the stone can fracture if it experiences a sharp knock.

Citrine, Crystalline Quartz:

💎 Hardness: 7 | 💪 Toughness: Good | ⚖️ Stability: Good

♥️ Extreme Caution, ⚠️ Avoid: 💡 Light, 🔥❄️ Thermal Shock / Extreme Temperature Change, 🌪 Steam Cleaners.

💛 Mild Caution, ⚠️ Avoid: 💦 Solvents (💅 Nail Polish Remover), 🧪 Acids / Detergents / Chemicals, ☀️🔥 Heat, 🔊 Ultrasonic.

🔬 Gemmological Observation: Quartz is pyroelectric, this means that when the gemstone experiences a change in temperature (for instance heat from the sun/lighting) it causes a low-level electrical attraction to fine dust particles. Therefore, you may experience that any quartz-set jewellery may need frequently cleaning.

Garnet:

💎 Hardness: 7.25 | 💪 Toughness: Good | ⚖️ Stability: Good

♥️ Extreme Caution, ⚠️ Avoid: ☀️🔥 Heat, 🔥❄️ Thermal Shock / Extreme Temperature Change, 🔊 Ultrasonic, 🌪 Steam Cleaners.

💛 Mild Caution, ⚠️ Avoid: 🔨 Knocks, 💧 Porosity.

🔬Gemmological Observation: Clean with mild soapy water and dry with a soft cloth. Garnets are usually a very durable gemstone. Some stones are prone to damage due to thermal shock. Do not expose them to extreme temperature changes.

Peridot, Olivine:

💎 Hardness: 6.5 | 💪 Toughness: Fair to Poor | ⚖️ Stability: Fair

♥️ Extreme Caution, ⚠️ Avoid: 🔨 Pressure / Knocks, 💈 Hair Sprays, 🧴 Lotions / Perfumes, 💄 Make-Up, 💦 Solvents (💅 Nail Polish Remover), 🧪 Acids / Detergents / Chemicals, 🔥❄️ Thermal Shock, 🔊 Ultrasonic, 🌪 Steam Cleaners.

🔬 Gemmological Observation: Avoid wearing whilst doing anything that can cause abrasions or sustaining any knocks. Avoid contact with mild acidic substances as even these can cause damage.

Diamond:

💎 Hardness: 10 | 💪 Toughness: Good | ⚖️ Stability: Excellent

💚 Low Caution: A very durable gemstone, generally it is safe to use in; 🫧 Jewellery 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: 🔨 Sharp Knocks. If the diamond is heavily fractured, you will need to ⚠️ avoid using: 🔊 Ultrasonic, 🌪 Steam Cleaners.
