The culmination of many incarnations for both Ken and Lynette, this antique style engagement ring is deeply symbolic, as well as reflecting Lynette’s love of jewellery from both the Victorian and Art Deco eras.

Finding inspiration from the Gothic architecture seen amid the ruins of the cathedral at St Andrews in Scotland, the form of this ring struck a chord with their common Scottish heritage.

Based on the quatrefoil pattern, often seen in the tracery of cathedral windows, the ring’s four primary diamonds stand for love, faith, hope and luck. The quatrefoil also has ties with the four leaf clover and Lynette’s Irish heritage.

Although the ring appears to be delicate, the stones are set in practical settings for the modern lifestyle of the wearer.
