This unique gold shepherds purse diamond trilogy ring has been created by talented jeweller Jo Pond, and is being shown as part of our Winter Showcase.
Inspired by shepherds purse seeds that grow in nearby fields, Jo has created a ring using the seeds to envelope rose cut diamonds- “with delightful heart-shaped seed-pods, perfect, although imperfectly formed tiny symbols of love.”
The natural textures of the gold take centre stage with rose cut, grey and champagne diamonds adding contrast. The ring has a subtle and timeless antique feel.
The ring is made from 14ct yellow gold and measures 2.5mm depth, 3.6mm width at widest and 2.4mm width at narrowest. The central rose cut diamond measure 4mm and the two rose cut champagne measures 3mm.
Jo’s jewellery practice involves the use of found objects, which Jo uses to tell a new story through each piece of jewellery. Her fine collection, inspired by found seeds, is a continuation of this.
Jo discovered a passion for collecting through her family where hoarding runs in the genes, describing her passion for collecting objects as an “inescapable need to hoard”.
To see more of Jo’s work and the other designers taking part in our Winter Showcase, we invite you to visit our Clifton Gallery, which is on until 15th January 2027.
