Unusual suite of three crest rings for Australia
This recently completed commission was for the Van Hattem family who live near Perth, Australia. The design brief was to create three rings in 18 carat gold. Each ring was to be carved from a differently coloured Layered agate and to have a unique design detail to encircle the family crest.
The ring for the daughter is in a white on red sardonyx. The crest is encircled by a cornflower detail as this is her favourite flower. The oval stone is set in an 18 carat gold ring.
The ring for the younger son is carved on a white and green layered agate. The crest is encircled by a design based on the wattle plant. This plant is on the Australian coat of arms.
The ring for the oldest son is carved on a white and blue layered agate. The design detail around the crest is based on a Tulip flower.
