In the world of contemporary jewellery, certain designs transcend temporary trends to become modern icons. For the bride-to-be who desires a ring that feels both ethereal and architectural, our signature collections offer a refreshing departure from the ordinary. Today, we’re shining a spotlight on two of our most-loved designs: the delicate, floral-inspired Maisie and the bold, romantic Amoret.
If you have been searching for a piece that balances vintage charm with a modern edge, the Maisie engagement ring is a masterclass in delicate craftsmanship. These collections aren’t just about sparkle; they are about the silhouettes and tiny details that make a ring feel like it belongs to a specific person’s story.
Key Takeaways: Why These Collections Stand Out
-
The Maisie Aesthetic: Known for its signature “petal” clusters and delicate bands, perfect for lovers of nature-inspired jewellery.
-
The Amoret Appeal: Often featuring striking focal stones and vintage-inspired settings, it’s the choice for the bold, romantic bride.
-
Stone Versatility: While beautiful in diamond, these styles are frequently reimagined as unique marquise ruby rings or teal sapphire showstoppers.
-
Artisanal Quality: Every piece is hand-finished in the UK, ensuring the structural integrity matches the aesthetic beauty.
Art of the Maisie and Amoret Collections
Spotlight on: The Maisie Engagement Ring
The Maisie collection has become a cornerstone of the Nude Jewellery aesthetic. Inspired by the organic symmetry found in nature, the Maisie design often features a central stone flanked by smaller gems in a “cluster” or “leaf” arrangement. This creates a soft, tapering effect that is incredibly flattering on the finger.
What makes the Maisie engagement ring so special is its versatility. While a white diamond in this setting looks timelessly elegant, many of our clients choose to customise this silhouette. We have seen a surge in requests for this style featuring vibrant emeralds or as unique marquise ruby rings, where the elongated shape of the marquise cut perfectly mimics a delicate leaf.
Spotlight on: The Amoret Collection
Where Maisie is delicate and organic, the Amoret collection is soulful and substantial. Amoret designs often lean into a “modern vintage” vibe—think clean lines paired with intricate milgrain detailing or unexpected stone combinations.
The Amoret is designed for the woman who wants her ring to have a physical presence. It’s a collection that celebrates the “hero” stone, whether that is a moody salt and pepper diamond or a vivid royal blue sapphire. Because of its structured design, the Amoret is also exceptionally good for stacking, sitting flush against a variety of wedding band styles.
The Power of the Marquise Cut
Both the Maisie and Amoret collections frequently utilise the marquise cut. Historically known as the “navette” (little boat), this cut is prized for its ability to make the finger look longer and more slender.
When searching for unique marquise ruby rings, many find that this specific cut enhances the depth of the ruby’s colour, trapping the light in the points of the stone. It’s a bold choice that signals a sophisticated, non-traditional taste.
Final Thoughts
Choosing a ring from a specific collection like Maisie or Amoret gives you the best of both worlds: a tried-and-tested design with a proven aesthetic, and the ability to make it your own through bespoke stone selection.
Which collection is better for a smaller hand?
The Maisie is often the preferred choice for those with smaller hands or more slender fingers. Its delicate, tapering cluster design doesn’t “overpower” the hand, instead providing a subtle, refined sparkle.
Can I customise the stone in an Amoret ring?
Absolutely. Most of their signature collections are “made to order,” meaning you can select your preferred metal (18ct gold or platinum) and choose the specific gemstone that fits your heart and your budget.
Are marquise-cut stones prone to chipping?
The points of a marquise stone are its most delicate part. However, their Maisie and Amoret settings are specifically engineered to protect these points—often using “V-shaped” prongs or integrated clusters to ensure the stone is secure for a lifetime of wear.
