FAQs

Choosing a gemstone ring

From finding the right stone to exploring ethical sourcing and bespoke possibilities, here are some of the questions Anna is often asked about gemstone rings.

Are Anna Loucah gemstone rings handmade?

Yes. Anna’s gemstone rings are individually handmade using traditional goldsmithing techniques in her London or Margate studio.

Working by hand allows the setting, proportions and details of each ring to be considered in relation to its gemstone. Many designs are made to order, giving you an opportunity to discuss the metal, sizing and any available personalisation before the ring is created.

Which gemstones can I choose for my ring?

The possibilities may include diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds and a wide variety of other coloured gemstones. The right choice will depend on the colour and character you love, your budget and how frequently you intend to wear the ring.

Because gemstones are natural materials, every stone has its own individual colour, inclusions and personality. Anna can help you compare suitable options and choose a gemstone that works beautifully with the proposed design.

Are the gemstones ethically sourced?

Responsible sourcing is central to Anna’s work. She considers the provenance of the gemstones and precious metals she uses and works with trusted suppliers who can provide meaningful information about their sourcing practices.

The level of traceability available can vary between different gemstones and suppliers. Anna will explain what is known about the stones being considered so that you can make an informed choice rather than relying on vague ethical claims.

Can a coloured gemstone be used for an engagement ring?

Absolutely. A coloured gemstone can make an expressive and highly personal alternative to a traditional diamond engagement ring.

Some gemstones are more suitable for frequent or everyday wear than others. Anna can advise you on durability, setting style and appropriate care, helping you find a stone that balances beauty and individuality with the practical demands of an engagement ring.

Can I customise one of the gemstone-ring designs?

Many collection designs can be adapted through the choice of gemstone, precious metal, finish or proportions. What is possible will depend on the structure of the original design and the size and characteristics of the chosen stone.

If the changes are more substantial, the ring may be better approached as a bespoke commission. Anna can help you decide whether to personalise an existing design or create something completely individual.

Can an inherited gemstone be made into a new ring?

It may be possible to reset a gemstone from an inherited or existing piece of jewellery into a new ring. The stone will first need to be carefully assessed to check its condition, suitability and security.

If it can be reused, Anna can create a design that gives the gemstone a new setting and purpose while retaining its personal or family significance. This would normally be undertaken through Anna’s bespoke remodelling service.
