The most meaningful piece I’ve ever made ✨

This bespoke piece was once my father-in-law’s signet ring. Now, restored with lapis lazuli, it carries a new meaning… for my husband to wear, every day.

"How long does a bespoke engagement ring actually take?"🤔💎

It's the question I get asked more than any other, so I've finally written it all down. The honest answer is 4 to 8 weeks from your first appointment to holding the finished ring, and in my latest blog I walk you through every step, from that first relaxed chat (no pressure, no jargon, bring your Pinterest screenshots) right through to the reveal.

I've also busted a few myths, including the big one: bespoke doesn't have to mean expensive. Our commissions start from around £2,000, and we work around your budget, your story and your timeline.

If there's a proposal on the horizon, have a read. I'd love to help you make something she'll treasure forever. 👇

Let me walk you through exactly how our bespoke process works here at Fogal & Barnes in Harrogate, how long it takes, and (spoiler!) just how few limits there actually are.

Ever wondered why it's called a tennis bracelet?🤔💎

The answer goes back to the 1978 US Open, when Chris Evert's diamond bracelet broke mid-match and play stopped while she searched the court for it. The name stuck, and the rest is history!

I've written a piece on the story behind the tennis bracelet and the players still wearing fine jewellery on court today, from the Williams sisters to Sabalenka's £148,000 custom suite at Roland Garros.

Have a read, I had a lovely time writing this one 👇🏻

From Chris Evert's famous bracelet drop to Sabalenka's custom diamonds at Roland Garros, the story of tennis jewellery, and why the tennis bracelet remains a timeless piece worth owning.

When a piece of jewellery comes to us with history behind it, an Edwardian brooch, a 1920s paste bracelet, a Victorian mourning ring, it carries something that no new piece can replicate. And in a world where we're all trying to be a bit more thoughtful about what we buy and where it comes from, vintage jewellery just makes sense. It's already here. It's already beautiful. It just needs someone new to love it.

We have a gorgeous little collection of vintage and antique pieces at Fogal & Barnes, and we're always bringing in new finds. If you're the kind of person who likes things with a story, come and have a browse.

We'd love to show you what we've got. ✨
