Handmade Story
From Royal Heirloom to Modern Love Story
Originally belonging to the Russian Royal Family and passed down through generations, this antique emerald and diamond pendant held deep personal significance. At Peter Gilder, we were entrusted with reimagining this heirloom into two exquisite new creations: a timeless cluster engagement ring and an elegant dress ring, each crafted to honour its past while embracing its future. The original diamonds were thoughtfully reconfigured around a central stone to form the engagement ring. The remaining stones, including the striking emerald, found their place in a one-of-a-kind statement piece. Both rings were expertly handcrafted in platinum, right here in our Constantia studio, by one of our most experienced goldsmiths.
A legacy preserved. A love story continued.

Handmade Story
Double the Fun
What began as an inspiration image found on Instagram became something entirely her own.
Rather than replicate, we reimagined the concept transforming it into a bespoke showpiece that reflects her vision and our craftsmanship. At Peter Gilder, we turn your mood board dreams into heirloom reality. Every design is a collaboration, crafted with care and intention to create something that’s not only beautiful, but uniquely yours.
Handmade Story
Asking for a friend…
Choosing an engagement ring especially for the first time can feel daunting. That’s why personal referrals and trust mean everything.
For this antique-inspired sapphire and diamond ring, the client came to us with a clear vision and full confidence, even from overseas. Through thoughtful texts, video updates, and a shared appreciation for detail, we brought their idea to life.
The result? She said yes. And she loved the ring.
Handmade Story
Size Does Matter
The brief was simple: make it bold, make it brilliant, and don’t hold back.
Inspired by a reference image, this striking design came to life with a pear-shaped diamond at its centre, framed by a double halo and set on a triple shank. Intricate side engraving adds a layer of detail that makes this piece truly one of a kind.
Created for a client who embraces individuality and isn’t afraid to shine, this ring is a celebration of self-expression, confidence, and unapologetic glamour.
As for where to wear it? Everywhere.
Handmade Story
Toi et Moi
A love story told in two stones.
Inspired by the now-iconic engagement ring worn by Megan Fox, this bespoke piece was designed as a surprise, personal and deeply symbolic.
The client wanted something meaningful. We began with the concept of “Toi et Moi,” the French phrase for “You and Me,” and used it as a canvas to bring their story to life. Two gemstones, representing their birth months April and May were carefully selected and set side by side, a pairing as beautiful as it is intentional.
Proportion, harmony, and the finest quality were essential to create a ring that felt both modern and timeless.
Toi et Moi rings have become a symbol of deep connection, romance, and individuality. This one captures it all.
Handmade Story
Reimagined, Redesigned, Re-loved
What began as a collection of forgotten treasures, broken chains, loose stones, pieces no longer worn, became something meaningful once again.
Our client brought us a jewellery box full of memories. Through expert craftsmanship, we repurposed her gold and carefully set her emeralds and diamonds into a bespoke bangle that is now both beautiful and deeply personal.
A new heirloom, crafted from the past and made to be cherished all over again.
