Bethany creates inclusive wedding and engagement jewellery for all couples, collaborating with them to craft pieces that reflect who they are both as individuals and as partners.
Each piece tells a story of love, identity, and connection and she feels deeply honoured to contribute to a ritual that celebrates the beginning of a shared future.
Client Pieces
Mei Lou was gifted 3rd generation rings from her Mother in Law that she absolutely loves but were broken. Bethany re-designed her favourite and re-created it in a minimal modern style with the heirloom gemstones from the original ring.
Amy for Melissa. Amy wanted to get Melissa, a welder, something that celebrated her metalworking passion. She chose one of Bethany's Nut Rings as the starting point but made it chunky and sparkly with a black onyx tube set into the nut and a tiny lab grown diamond in the corner. The finish is barreled to create a raw look.
Jonny and Melody wanted to express their union and individual style for their wedding rings. Melody who loves colour chose a warm yellow orange sapphire and a gently twisted and textured band while Jonny wanted an engraving to symbolise their family. They also have a small sentimental duck engraved on the inside of each.
Sam and Michael wanted engragement rings that showed their connection and individuality. The chose a matching court shaped style but with contrasting colour enamel inlays.
Lab Grown Diamond and 18ct Gold
Jack for Gemma. Jack wanted something big, sparkly and fun for Gemma. Bethany created a simple take on a classic threes tone engagement ring to show off the excellent quality diamonds.
9ct Gold Set
Rob and Sarah wanted a simple pair of wedding rings made with each of their particular styles in mind. Bethany melted dfown Sarah's heirloom family gold to create the set and give different finishes and wire thicknesses. Connected by metal but with indivual expression.
Aquamarine, Lab Grown Diamonds and 9ct White Gold
Jess for Solene. Jess wanted to represent their shared love of water. She knew Solene loves silver tones but wanted to create something longer lasting and fine so Bethany suggested a raw white gold, left without the Rhodium Plating. The shank is twisted to symbolise waves and the stones are small at 3mm and 2mm to make it a dainty, sparkling ring.
Annie for Tam. Annie planned a Bronte themed proposal in the windswept cotswolds. She wanted the ring to be feminine but with a dark twist. Bethany added the extra personal touch of Annie's fingerprint inside so she is always with Tam.
Bestseller
It's good to have an idea of budget before you begin.
Precious metal pricing is subject to change and with wedding and engagement jewellery it's worth thinking about longevity. Silver is affordable but doesn't last as well, gold prices are high but it's durable and able to withstand a fine design.
For more information on what might suit you best have a look at a Blog Post Bethany wrote for Silver & Steel here or get in touch to discuss options.
Pricing for bespoke starts as a rough gauge:
Silver £500
9ct Yellow or White Gold £1500
18ct Yellow or White Gold £3000
