bitejewellery gagement ring designs in 18-car- at yellow gold embodying her synonymous style’s ethos. “My brides-to-be are seeking show- stopping rings that play on the iconic engagement styles in a bold and contemporary way,” the de- signer explained. “An engagement ring can be so much more than a single central stone in a simple setting; with custom cut stones, adding colour, or interesting set- tings, the possibilities are endless and exciting.” Icons’ mix of bold gold frames, highly technical custom-cut stones, graduating gemstone arches, signature settings, and exceptional diamonds gives the rings their distinct Hattie Rick- ards look. The bride or groom-to- be selects their central diamond, possibly adding colours that feel true to their style, replacing the diamond details with coloured sapphires or rubies. With excel- lent craftsmanship, the diamond arches are precision cut for every ring size, creating the perfect sparkling silhouette. The Signature features an Asscher cut central stone flanked by chan- nel-set tapering baguettes, further elevated by custom-cut diamond arches in the front and back. The Baguette celebrates the beauty of three seamless curves of perfectly cut and invisibly set geometric di- amonds elevated with custom-cut arches with tapering Carré cut stones. The Halo’s standout cen- tral diamond is surrounded by a halo of round diamonds set in platinum boxes to create a mod- ern shimmering dual-tone ring. The Target is a classic concept with a Hattie Rickards twist, alternat- ing two contrasting brilliant and step cuts to create an unmissable sparkle from every angle. The Sol- itaire features a central diamond on a sculptural step band with a double claw setting, giving this classic piece a distinct modernity. Solitaire Eternal has elegant Carré cut diamonds on either side of the central stone to give it a contem- porary feel. Both rings can be tai- lored with a cushion, brilliant, or radiant cut diamond. “The mix of alternative diamond cuts and bold gold frames give the designs a distinct modernity, cre- ating engagement silhouettes per- fect for today and as sought-after future heirlooms,” Hattie said. “At the end of the day, the purpose of an engagement ring is to serve as a symbol of the most important union in your life. Why not cel- ebrate your marriage and all its beautiful facets with a truly show- stopping design?” Hattie Rickards offers online be- spoke, remodelling, customised services and engagement and wedding rings. https://hattierickards.com “I place my clients at the centre of each design, creating dream pieces with integrity” - Hattie Rickards.
