Awards & Recognition
ABOUT ANDREW
Andrew Geoghegan has been designing jewellery since 1998. Not selecting it, sourcing it or curating it. Designing it.
His ideas often begin where you least expect them. Astronomy. Architectural geometry. A roaring fire in a remote French chalet. Even an Anglo-Saxon gold discovery made while metal detecting with his son Arthur. What matters is what those ideas become.
Alongside the ideas sits an enduring fascination with craftsmanship. Andrew's obsession with the art of gem-setting and precision has shaped every collection he has created for more than twenty-five years.
The result is a body of work that has earned the British Jewellers' Association Designer of the Year Award, Professional Jeweller Collections of the Year - winner three years running, and a place in Liberty London. Andrew's unique engagement rings and fine jewellery are worn and collected by clients seeking pieces with a distinct point of view.
Each ring is hand-set under a microscope and finished by hand in the UK. Questions about a ring go straight to Andrew, and he answers them himself.
Cocktail rings like this inspired Chapiteau de Paraiba are a canvas to showcase beauty, an extravagant collection of stones, with wonderful details such as the angles of the hexagonal setting echoing in falling chevrons of diamonds through the band. Chapiteau's lavish, angular centre uses depth, space, and light to add drama to an irresistibly alluring blue Paraiba tourmaline, lauded above a coterie of glimmering pink stones. The grand spectacle continues on the outside of the setting with each of the hexagon's six panels hosting a cool, mint green tourmaline framed by an abundance of diamond light.
SPECIFICATION:
The star of the show is a wonderful 3ct (approx) Paraiba tourmaline, with pink sapphires, mint green tourmalines, and diamonds set in white gold.
COLLECTION OPTIONS:
The unique Chapiteau de Paraiba is available in a host of precious stones set in platinum 18ct rose, or yellow gold. The Chapiteau is also available as designer engagement rings and unique wedding rings.
MEANING OF CHAPITEAU COCKTAIL RINGS:
Very simply the word Chapiteau was used by the French to mean 'a place for a spectacle'. Surely this is a perfect name for this ring as the six sides create a court of wonder, colour, and intrigue. For more information on the history and use of the word click Chapiteau.
