The case assembled with no glass ready to do the final finishing. It is machined from a solid billet of metal. Most of the final shape has been arrived at by hand using diamond tools and very fine emery paper.

Here is a Platinum engagement ring I made recently. The two main diamonds are two carats each and there are three hundred small diamonds set around the shank and claws. The stones where beautifully set by Steve Copas in Hatton Garden.

His and hers twenty two carat gold rings. The Tanzanite stones were supplied by the customer. They are an unusual cut being faceted on the back and smooth polished on the front.
