Ruby Rae Love is the new venture of the lovely Ella Masters. Not only does she already create the cutest illustrations, but now she's only gone and produced a fantastic bespoke jewellery range! Made from recycled bits and bobs, at Ruby Rae Loves you can find head-dresses, rings, necklaces and bracelets.
A few days ago, I was reading Ella's blog, when I saw that she had made a ring from an antique brass button, with FIRMIN on it. Well, that was it, I just had to have it (incase you're unaware, Firmin is my surname, and I am oddly proud of it...)
And today - my ring arrived! And oh so beautifully packaged too! The first thing I came across was a personalised illustration by Ella - so adorable, I need to find it a home :)
Isn't the ring box amazing? I also loved the little luggage tag on which Ella had written the history behind the button - it was discovered at her Grandmothers house, and was from her Great Grandfathers coat. I'm a real sucker for nostalgia and old things with narratives attached to them, so I really loved this attention to detail :)
Such a wonderful tale behind this piece, and the box/tag are both such beautiful compliments too. I think if I had my surname on a ring, I would be pretty thrilled, this one was meant to be xx

ReplyDeleteThat story behind that piece is already a treasure itself! Vintage and personalised rings are as valuable as engagement rings made from precious stones like diamonds! Thank you for your post.
