“Cocktail jewellery worthy of the moment you wear it”
A cocktail ring is a large, colourful stone ring, sometimes surrounded by a halo of diamonds. They are designed to be worn to special & celebratory occasions.
At The Jewellery Workshop we love cocktail jewellery for its flamboyant & colourful design & have a fantastic selection of stock items for you to browse (click the link above to discover our range).
We also specialise in crafting bespoke cocktail jewellery suitable for all tastes, follow this blog to learn more about the beauty of cocktail jewellery & discover your favourite flavour!
A WINDOW DISPLAY WORTHY OF A TOAST
The team at The Jewellery Workshop worked hard to create a visual merchandising display that celebrated the beauty & fun of cocktail jewellery.
Our creative vision was to have something bold & impactful. By playing with proportions and having giant cocktail glasses, immense hands looming in the shop windows & large scale sparkling gemstones & dress rings we believe we have created that sense of excitement that you get when your about to have a night out with some cocktails.
Visit us at 1 Market Place to discover the display for yourself and follow the link above to see how it was all put together.
THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE PHOTOS
At The Jewellery Workshop we love to photograph our jewels in exciting environments that tell the story of the pieces.
For this campaign our aim was to create an environment that mimicked a luxurious cocktail bar. To achieve this we crafted faux cocktails and poured them into sculptural cocktail glasses, displaying them on golden trays, with colourful cut glass used as glimmering accents in the background. All of this was meticulously displayed in front of jewel toned draped velvet fabrics.
Another aspect that is important to us is authenticity and realism, the ladies that enjoy wearing cocktail jewellery (and also our clientele) tend to be more mature in age, hence why we used our very own member of staff/glamorous hand model Jacqueline. We wanted to show hands that had lived, opposed to the young blemish free hands often seen in jewellery campaigns.
All in all we believe the photographs turned out beautifully and convey our message, if you would like to see some behind the scenes footage or browse the jewellery in the photographs, simply click the links above.

Engagement Rings
THE PERFECT PROPOSAL
~
“Expertly guiding you to your unique engagement ring”
Part 1: STYLE
When choosing your partner’s engagement ring style the first thing to consider is who they are as a person, their lifestyle, passions and tastes. For example, do they prefer the classic, elegant look? the traditional romantic look? or do they prefer bold statements and geometric shapes? Do they have a more contemporary style? or are vintage inspired rings more to their taste? We specialise in unique engagement rings that tell the story of your relationship.
Part 2: STONE
Whilst diamond rings remain the conventional choice, our collection of coloured gemstone engagement rings allows couples to make a more individual statement. Choose a ring that not only symbolises commitment but also encapsulates a unique personal meaning. Are your partners favourite flowers red roses? Then why not let a ruby show how your love has blossomed. Did you take a stroll down by the beach for your first date? Maybe a teal sapphire will remind them of the ocean. It is however important to consider the durability of different gemstones, with some being more suitable for an engagement ring than others ask our team of jewellery professionals for more information on your chosen gemstone.
Part 3: BESPOKE
For those who are seeking a more refined personal ring in line with their partner’s unique personality and style, why not opt for a bespoke engagement ring. During our one-to-one complimentary design consultations our designer goldsmiths Laura or Mark will sit down with you to discuss your ideas & budget. They shall create sketches & help you choose from precious gemstones & metals, all to craft a design that tells the story of your relationship.
Part 4: SHAPE
Every diamond possesses its own unique beauty and individuality. The cut of a diamond determines how the facets interact with light, making it the key element in maximising brilliance. While round brilliant cut diamonds remain the most popular choice for engagement rings, there are diamond shapes to suit a wide range of styles and designs.
Part 5: METAL
Depending on lifestyle & personal taste the metal choice of an engagement ring can be incredibly influential. At The Jewellery Workshop we recommend either gold or platinum to ensure the rings longevity, this includes the durability for daily wear and also allows for the ring to be sized in future. The choice of your metal carat will affect the rings overall colour. The higher purity standard of 18ct gold results in a much richer tone in either yellow or white gold. Platinum is the whitest precious metal and offers excellent strength for smaller more delicate rings.
Part 6: SETTING
When deciding your engagement ring setting you are going to hear a lot of jewellery jargon. Don’t panic! At The Jewellery Workshop we are here to help describe the differences and ensure you choose the right setting style for you. Claw setting is when the stone has prongs of metal pushed over the stone securing it in place. This style of setting is designed to celebrate your gemstones natural beauty by allowing light to enter at every angle, providing maximum radiance. Rub-over or bezel setting is when a stone is enveloped in a surrounding ring of metal. This style of setting is ideal for those with an active lifestyle as the rim of metal offers protection around the edge of the stone. Its practicality & contemporary elegance makes it a very popular choice amongst the The Jewellery Workshop customer.
