Anja and Mickey got married in the early seventies when they were quite young. Anja was pregnant and it was going to be a big deal, so there was no time to save up from either a conscription salary or (still) a home-based SU allowance. So the dress became a loan dress (with an elastic band in the back so there was room for the belly), while the budget back then unfortunately wasn’t elastic enough for wedding rings.
Over the almost 25 years that have passed, there were three children born. Like all couples, they experienced ups and downs, but Anja and Mickey found solutions and compromises and will soon celebrate their silver wedding anniversary – a goal every newlywed couple dreams of, but which statistics unfortunately tell us is only achieved by just over half of them. With that victory in their back pocket, they decided that now was the time to create their very own rings. The love had lasted all those years and now there was also room in the finances to have some proper rings. And not just any set of rings, but rings that were specially designed for just them.
Working so closely with people like Anja and Mickey is a very special pleasure in my profession. A design meeting is, after all, a conversation that aims to uncover what characterizes these two individuals and translate that into a ring. As the creative and artistic force, I listen and then compile all the dreams and ideas into sketches: I draw and suggest while supplementing with practical knowledge about what the desired ring can and cannot be. My goal is always that when the meeting is over, my fellow designers leave the store with a sense that I have managed to capture exactly what they wanted in the design that will soon become tangible reality, created from noble metals and stones.
This meeting ended with designs for rings based on the Embrace design (read more about it) hereMickey emphasized that his ring did not have a prefabricated design – it was its own creation. Therefore, in addition to the characterful surface that both rings were to have, it also had a detail that was mirrored in Anya’s ring.
Subsequently, it was a pleasure to create the rings of white gold with yellow gold details and diamonds – they almost flowed from my hand and the result was then also: So beautiful that only Anja and Mickeys wide smiles made me willingly hand them over to their new owners, who fortunately were just as excited about them as I was.
”We chose you, primarily because his ring isn’t boring and doesn’t look like a plumbing assembly. You’ve created an incredibly beautiful website that presents your design very nicely. It’s beautiful craftsmanship and it was appealing that you could get an individual piece of jewelry, a set created just for us.
Your style is elegant, whimsical and quirky in a simple and almost strict way, and lavish and luxurious in an understated way. And then there are the adventures, and the elves and the Lord of the Rings in the universe. Mickey smiles proudly and thinks he has the elf king’s ring on 🙂
The rings are really beautiful on the website, but they are much more beautiful in reality; it’s as if the fact that they are on a finger adds to the design.”
