THE NAPKIN RING

The Brief

A sterling silver napkin ring with appliqued oak leaves, a feature 'acorn' and to incorporate the recipient's initials.

Stone: Green Tourmaline Oval Cabachon

This Christmas gift was commissioned by a husband for his wife. He was confident that she would appreciate my oak and acorn designs but did not necessarily desire any jewellery. Our meetings were conducted in secret, and my client would often bring his young daughter along when visiting me. It was a great deal of fun.

The initials LJ were incorporated into the leaf detail

Oversized display hallmarks were chosen

Initial Design Drawing

My client wanted the principal oak leaves to oversail the napkin ring so we made a real feature of them.
