Art Deco sapphire & diamond band ring … one of my favourites, it’s so easy to wear stacked with an eternity ring or on its own. I love the engraved details on the sides and the blue is so vibrant against the diamonds

Heading into the May holiday with this stylish bombé emerald & diamond cocktail ring
Perfect for an alfresco drink in the garden (despite the British weather today!)

The name ‘bombé’ comes from the French and literally means ‘bomb-shaped’

Art Deco bombé rings typically show off the abilities of the favoured metal of the period - platinum. As platinum is such a strong metal, it could be worked into fine curved three dimensional shapes making this iconic design so popular

The word, thimble derived from Middle English, literally means “thumb shield.

It is likely that the earliest thimbles were created soon after the invention of sewing in the Etuscan era.

Thimbles dating to the 10th century have been found in England, and were in widespread use by the 14th century. Elizabeth I is said to have given one of her ladies-in-waiting a thimble set with precious stones.

Thimbles have also commonly been associated with the rituals of courtship. As a token of his love, a man might give to his beloved gifts or ‘trifles’ such as a thimble, a pair of gloves, a handkerchief or a ring.
