FASHION A vision in blue An engagement ring is a special piece of jewellery that the owner will never take off. And more and more brides-to-be are choosing to forgo the surprise of a typical proposal in place of being a decision maker in the buying process. At Infinity Jewellers, along with their exquisite collection of engagement rings, they also offer bespoke commissions where couples can choose each part of the ring. When Liz Birch and her long-term partner John finally decided to get engaged, she wanted to turn the ring of her dreams into a reality with an engagement ring made just for her. “We’ve been together over 16 years and whenever he’d ask me what I wanted for my birthday I’d always joke that I only wanted a ring. But he was really poorly with Covid last year and one day he said to me ‘just get a ring, whatever you want.’ Being ill made him change his outlook on life.” Liz knew there was only one place she was going for the ring she’d waited years for. Having driven passed Infinity Jewellers’ Bramley store twice a week, she followed them on social media where she saw past pieces Jonathan had made bespoke, including a stunning opal ring. “I knew I didn’t want to buy on the internet as I wouldn’t have known what the quality was like. And I’d been disappointed with a previous eternity ring I had from a high-street brand after a diamond fell out after two months. Choosing Infinity Jewellers was the right decision as Jonathan went above and beyond and the whole experience was just so lovely.” Although she had a design in mind for a sapphire and diamond trilogy ring, Liz was unsure whether she wanted a pink or blue sapphire as the main gemstone. Jonathan sourced six beautiful sapphires from Hatton Garden – three in each colour – in the round brilliant cut shape Liz had her eye on. “Being able to visit the shop for a safe and secure private appointment after hours meant Jonathan could take the time to let me see which colour I preferred and which suited my skin tone better. Jonathan also told us about the quality and what to look for in each. Ultimately, I chose a natural Ceylon sapphire as it reminded me of John’s blue eyes.” Throughout the process, Liz, John and their nine-year-old daughter Ava were all involved and agreed on the same sapphire and ring design. “I wanted Ava to love it as much as me because one day the ring will be hers, so it was important she was involved. Jonathan was great at making her feel special too. When we finished, he let her choose a ring for herself because she deserved one too if Mummy was having a new ring.” Something new, something blue, something designed just for you Commission a bespoke ring at We can source an exquisite collection of precious gemstones including sapphires, diamonds and aquamarine Open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 9.30am – 4.30pm, Saturday 9.30am-3.00pm Private appointments available on Mondays, Tuesdays and other times Find us at AEON COURT, 108 MAIN STREET, BRAMLEY S66 2SE Telephone 01709 931293 See our testimonials on Facebook @Infinityjewellers 14 aroundtownmagazine.co.uk
