It was a few years prior to the end of the last Century when I was first given a piece of jewellery created and formed by Scarab. A beautiful little pinky ring, sparkling, chunky and neat, like a perfectly proportioned porthole. A ring as fat as it is wide, tiny etched spirals either side of the eight upturned sapphires, four to each side of the ring made for a fierce wee character from the get go.

The wee ring lives on, several more pieces have been offered to and from myself since. The constant throughout is always Janine, who I’m now so very grateful to have not only as a superb jeweller, but as an incredible friend.

To my constant, I thank you, here’s to the gift of the time ahead of us x
