18ct white gold ruby ring creations by Harriet Kelsall designers Alice Rochester, Kerrie-Ann McNaughton, Antoinette Corbishley, Rebecca Howarth and Harriet Kelsall herself – unique ready to wear collections and customized creations as well as distinctive bespoke commissions for those who want exclusive one-of-a-kind ruby wedding rings, engagement rings, anniversary rings and other fine gold ruby jewellery.

Who is Harriet Kelsall?

The story behind Harriet Kelsall Jewellery Design and her team of jewelers is inspirational, but not surprising given the distinguished talent of founder Harriet Kelsall who began as a home-based business in Weston, North Hertfordshire, over 12 years ago.

After receiving awards for design, outstanding service and distinguished business practices, it was natural for Harriet Kelsall to expand, adding other talented jewellery craftspeople to her team and opening a workshop as well as an appointment room for meeting with clients. Over the years, Harriet Kelsall Jewellery Design has incorporated talent such as Antoinette Corbishley, Rebecca Howarth and Alice Rochester amongst others.

The success of the team, who create outstanding pieces of gold and gemstone jewellery, including yellow and white gold ruby rings for their clientele, made it possible to open a second outlet in Cambridge. The Weston, Hertfordshire shop and the Cambridge branch (since 2005), continue to receive accolades and recognition for outstanding design and business ethics.

Bespoke and Ready to Wear Ruby Jewellery

Harriet Kelsall Jewellery Design offers bespoke jewellery creation and ready to wear collections through their website, which allows clients to view custom pieces that can serve as inspiration for gemstone rings and other jewellery items, as well as allowing visitors to browse designer collections, order online and read stories that go with each unique piece.

Tanzanian Ruby Ring

One of the outstanding items that’s featured, designed by Harriet Kelsall herself, is a white gold ruby ring crafted with an ethically sourced Tanzanian ruby and diamonds. What makes this piece extra appealing is that the price, considering it contains a natural ruby gemstone and genuine diamonds, is only about £2,000. The precious metals include a mix of palladium and delicate rose gold and the ruby is a specimen from Tanzania that weighs over a carat. The diamonds were taken from a pair of antique earrings, which is one this ruby diamond ring is so affordably priced.

Ruby Engagement Ring Collections by Kerrie-Ann McNaughton

The ethical ruby engagement ring collections are extensive and include many fairly traded 18ct white gold ruby ring designs by each of the talented designers who work with Harriet. The collection of ruby engagement rings features pieces like the ones by Kerrie-Ann McNaughton, such as the contemporary 9ct white gold ruby ring with a single blood red ruby and two brilliant-cut diamonds as accents on a sleek polished band.

Ruby Jewellery by Rebecca Howarth

Rebecca Howarth, another designer with Harriet Kelsall, has created a one-of-a-kind white gold ruby ring that can’t be duplicated, although it can be used as inspiration for other commission orders. The design incorporates a red-red ruby heart and as series of pink sapphires in a wide band measuring 8mm across.

Amongst other of the Rebecca Howarth ruby wedding rings are designs that incorporate amethysts, colored diamonds and a wide variety of gemstone rings.
