Graham and Caroline’s story
Graham tells his story...
The inspiration is actually from scuba diving, Caroline was learning to dive when I met her and she managed to convince me to learn too!
We’ve been diving buddies for almost 9 years now and after waiting so long to propose I really wanted to give her something special.
On our first diving holiday together we found an octopus which immediately hid in a hole. Our guide beckoned for Caroline and took off her watch and he tempted the octopus out for us to see with the metal strap sparkling in the sun; apparently they love anything shiny! It seemed perfect then that an octopus should hold the sparkling diamond on Caroline’s ring.
Our story begins on a diving adventure

The Sketch


Making the ring
The engagement ring was hand crafted by our chief goldsmith, Richard. A very intricate piece of workmanship where stylised legs of an octopus appear to wrap around the central stone.
The Finished Ring
Octopus inspired engagement ring
The ring holds an H SI brilliant cut diamond set into platinum. The octopus body is subtly included in the design using a series of hand worked sections and finishes.
