Rose Gold

I have recently found that couples want more options than the usual white or yellow metal, some opt for titanium, the hard wearing gun metal grey metal that we unfortunately do not work in due to its hardness which makes working with it at a handmade level very difficult. 

However, there is another, usually overlooked metal, rose or red gold. 

Like white gold which is a mixture of yellow gold and a white metal such as palladium, rose gold is also a mixture of alloys. 

Due to the mixture of yellow and white metals to make white gold, white gold is then plated with rhodium, this gives it the crisp white colour that it is known for. However, in its natural form white gold has a slight yellow tint so over time if you want your rings to stay brilliant white they will need to be re-rhodium plated.

Unlike white gold, rose gold is not plated, it is a mixture of yellow gold and usually copper. Depending on the ratio of the mixture rose gold can be a light pinkish colour to a deep autumnal red. 

Here are some pieces that we have made in rose gold

The platinum and marquise diamond engagement ring was made by us, and when it came to get a complimenting wedding/eternity band our client wanted something a little different. The warm rose gold set with small brown diamonds contrasts to the cool platinum and large dazzling white diamond. 

A specitite garnet surrounded my cognac and white diamonds and set in rose gold. The deep red of the garnet and the warm brown of the diamonds are beautifully complimented by the rose gold. 

This wedding and engagement ring set is handmade in 18ct rose gold. The wedding band is dotted with cognac brown diamonds, matching with the large single brown diamond set in the engagement ring. 

Our Year Ring is one of our most popular wedding rings as it features the day, month and year of your special day hand carved into one of our solid bands. We recently started making these rings in 9ct and 18ct rose gold as the demand for an alternative metal increased. Stunning! 

Dazzle Rings

Taking inspiration from the opulent dazzling rings that celebrities and royalty alike have been showcasing recently Dominic Walmsley Jewellery have been busy designing stunning one-off commissions for our clientele. 


When designing and hand making a dazzling diamond ring it is important to get the proportions right whilst maintaining the feel and look that the customer desires. We pride ourselves on our ability to make people's jewellery dreams come true, one way we do this is by having a fitting stage. No one wants to see a flat design on a piece of paper, choose their stones and then suddenly be presented with a finished design that looks nothing like what they expected. It is for this reason that we make sure that with any commission we have a fitting stage, this way our clients can see the work in progress try the item on etc and we can make any necessary changes, we make sure our customers have as many fittings as they need and we constantly discuss the design and what they envision to make sure that they are 100% happy with the end result. 

This unusual engagement ring was a recent commission made by us.  The customers wanted the sparkle of diamonds but yet something a little different. The center stone is the much ignored stone of Smokey Quartz, surrounded by diamonds and set in 18ct yellow gold this ring proves that diamonds aren't a girls only best friend!

This dazzle ring was made from a customers existing jewellery. She had  old unworn jewellery that she never wore and was just sitting in a drawer, so with Dominic she designed a stunning dress ring. This ring features a sparkling Citrine as its central stone and is framed by ice white diamonds.
