The stones in my Italian inspired Aeneus rings are set in bold, gold settings, held by powerful golden bands. The centre stone can be facetted or cabochon with diamonds set to each side. Every ring is unique because the stones I set are unique. Individually cut by coloured gemstone experts in Germany to make each and every stone maximise its sparkle.

Tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese term "turamali" meaning 'stone of mixed colours'. As part of an isomorphous series, in which a range of chemical compositions occur in many individual crystals, they can be found in almost every colour. From pinks, reds, forest greens and blues, colourless and transparent to multi-coloured and opaque shades, making it one of Cassandra's favourite gemstones. The birthstone for October, it appears to have an affinity with the autumnal time of year, its myriad of colours resembling autumn leaves, falling in a cacophony of colour. Turn to pink tourmalines for an emblem of friendship and unconditional love, or delight in vibrant green tourmaline to harmonise your internal energies.
