At West
Weddings, we absolutely love this time of year – the holiday cheer, romantic
winter backdrops and extra special presents under the tree. It’s a well known fact that December
is the busiest month of the year for marriage proposals but planning
how to pop the question is not the easiest when you want it to be special. To
give our future grooms – and brides – a helping hand, we’ve found the ultimate Christmas
gift.
Jewellery
designer Karl Karter and Baileys Chocolat Luxe have teamed up to produce a unique
Five Gold Rings jewellery creation and the new limited edition gold bottle of
Baileys chocolate drink.
Five Gold Rings
KarlKarter, the London-based jeweller known for his flawless, hand-made fine
jewellery, and whose fans include the likes of Jessie J, Alesha Dixon and Eliza
Doolittle, has created five Baileys Chocolat Luxe-inspired one-off, luxurious
gold rings in time for Christmas. Each of the custom-made Five Gold Rings pieces
features both yellow and rose gold and studded with exquisite precious gems to
make any woman feel special.
Designed
in a luxurious style with timeless yet indulgent and intricate filigree detailing,
the 16 carat gold rings feature rich chocolate brown diamonds and sparkling
whiskey sapphires. The stunning bespoke pieces are valued at approximately
£1,000 each.
The
Five Gold Rings celebrate the groundbreaking drink turning its bottle gold in
celebration of the festive season.
“The
drink is a decadent fusion of real Belgian chocolate and Irish whiskey cream,
so I wanted to make sure these rings captured a real sense of indulgence and
glamour that oozes from the liquid and limited edition gold bottle design.
Every woman desires a beautiful piece of jewellery and that’s what we’ve tried
to capture in these pieces,” Karl Karter explains.
