Beryl and the Design Process for Bespoke Jewellery

We are delighted to be working with brilliantly talented goldsmith Anthony Griffin on an individually designed necklace incorporating three lovely green beryl stones, diamonds and white gold. We decided that we would like to share the design process with our friends and clients as Anthony turns initial sketches into sparkling reality.

Stage One – the Preliminary Sketches

We asked Anthony to think about a design for a necklace to enter for next year’s prestigious Goldsmiths’ Hall competition. What we love about the design that Anthony has come up with is its combination of sharp shapes and gentle, organic curves. We are considering a fine chain with diamonds at intervals to complement the main pendant.

Stage Two – Selection of Stones

This photograph shows the fine beryl stones that Anthony has selected, laid against the sketch of the design. But the stones will only really come alive when contrasted with the curved elements set with diamonds and the diamond drop.

We look forward to keeping you updated as the design and fashioning of the necklace progresses.
