Bouquet Commission Ring

This unique ring was commissioned from Claire Troughton after a lovely couple had almost all their jewellery stolen whilst living abroad and wanted something to help put the bad memory behind them when they returned to the UK. They decided to replace the lady’s wedding and engagement ring with one truly unique and eye-catching piece. It started life as a doodle on a napkin and a bag of old broken gold jewellery that the thieves didn’t want.

Claire was delighted to work with the couple to bring their dream to reality. She used the old jewellery to fashion little flowers, based on a primrose, to symbolise their new beginning in England and incorporate their daughter’s name. Each one was set alternately with a pink or white diamond. The main body of the ring was made in 18ct white gold and Claire also intertwined through this the narrow yellow gold wedding ring that used to belong to the lady’s mother, thus creating a truly personal and sentimental piece.

We were delighted to be involved in a glittering ball at Chester Racecourse in September 2011 in aid of the very worthy charity ‘Help For Heroes’. In partnership with solicitors Walker Smith Way we sponsored a game to win a prize of a £1000 piece of jewellery, designed and made by Claire Troughton. We raised over £4000 for the charity.

Claire worked with the winner to produce a gorgeous white gold bangle cradling a brilliant cut diamond.
