Beneath and inside a ring there is a surface nobody photographs and almost nobody looks at. It is the natural home for something private — a second stone, a colour that means something to two people, a detail that is visible in profile and from no other angle. None of these change the piece as it reads across a room. They are for the person wearing it.
The Undergallery
The structure that holds the stone from below, worked rather than left plain. Visible in profile, and to the wearer looking down.
The Concealed Ruby
A coloured stone set where only the wearer knows it is. An old jewellers' habit, and still the quietest way to put something private into a ring.
Embedded Diamonds
Set flush into the inner band, against the finger. Felt more often than seen, and a natural place for a second stone from a Union commission.
Embedded Sapphires
The same detail in colour. Birthstones, a wedding colour, or nothing more than a shade one of you likes.
Any of these can be added to any form above, and they are quoted with the commission rather than after it. Bring the idea to the consultation — most of them cost less than people expect.
