Gardens hold their secrets close as they reveal their treasures only to those who look with patience and wonder. As you wander through our Secret Garden collection, you may have noticed a little something extra catching the light: precious gold rings twinkling like dew drops among our vintage laces and embroidered blooms. I am so excited to share this bridal jewelry collaboration with Maria from The North Way Studio.
When I began creating this collection of wedding gowns, I was drawn to the colors and textures of an English garden such as creamy ivory, delicate French laces, red and blush florals with verdant leaves, and pale blue peeping through skirts. I wanted to accessorize the dresses with something precious that would capture fragments of dappled sunlight, gentle blossoms, and the tender green of first spring leaves.
I liken each gold ring to our bridal dresses as different flowers blooming in the same cherished garden. The Aurelie and Chamomile both glow with the warmth of honey-gold morning light filtering through ancient garden walls. Aurelie's natural opalescent pale blue sapphire shifts like early morning mist, while Chamomile's rose cut diamond holds all the warmth of the sun. Both are embraced by settings of hand-carved leaves that whisper secrets only the wearer will know.
The Fern ring looks as if it was born in the garden. The 4.12ct dark green sapphire surely holds secrets from deep below the earth's surface. Gentle leaf prongs and a hand-carved branchy band set with a pair of oval diamonds, this ring is sure to delight any forest or garden fairies! And the sister to Fern, the Meadowsweet ring, features a 1.44 carat round brilliant cut teal green sapphire inspired by the soft greens in our Meadowsweet gown from the Moonlight Reverie Collection. This entire collection is an ode to the faerie realm!
In Hyacinth and Odessa, Maria found some stunning center stones to surround with diamonds and a branchy band. An azure blue oval sapphire and a magnificent gray diamond for the sisters respectively. The open face of the gems framed by the halo of diamonds makes me think of flowers forever blooming.
A recurring motif in my work is the butterfly. From Papillon to Chrysalis, a lace hand-painted butterfly is a lovely detail and a symbolic one as well. So of course, we had to create a ring setting with wings, and here are two stunning variations: Robin and Chrysalis. The pear cut blue sapphire on the Robin ring is one of my favorites - this stone set between delicate diamond wings is such a stunner! And the Chrysalis ring features a lovely teal Montana sapphire cocooned in beauty.
The Larkspur ring showcases Maria's stunning metalwork and engraving with its unique gold frame imbued with rose-hued sapphire accents. I could stare into this 4.05 carat green sapphire for eternity! This one-of-a-kind ring is like holding a little garden on your finger, and what a unique and personal token of love.
The Peony ring blossoms like the collection itself with its blush pink spinel surrounded by diamond "petals" and verdant sapphire leaves. Maria's hand-carved foliage on the band makes this engagement ring come alive. For the bride in love with all things floral, the Peony ring is the ultimate ode to nature's beauty. And of course, we had to make an all-diamond variation in the Briar Rose - this ring has a 2.06 carat natural Old European cut diamond center, so you can see how the center stone and the colors we choose can completely change and customize each ring.
Just as my gowns are made to order, these engagement ring settings can also be customized to reflect our bride's vision. Clients can choose their center stones, customizing color and size to create their dream rings. Maria hand-carves every ring and consciously sources each stone. This dedication to craftsmanship ensures that each engagement ring, like each wedding gown, is a unique work of art, and an heirloom to treasure. And this is just the beginning - we have more rings in the works, including wedding bands designed to complement these engagement rings. These will be released in the coming months to fully complete The Secret Garden collection of bridal botanical treasures.

We can't wait to welcome you into the Secret Garden for this chapter of your unique love story!
Claire Pettibone Collaborates with The North Way Studio
When Maria reached out about a possible collaboration, it felt like one of those moments when the universe conspires to make magic happen. I discovered her stunning work on Instagram years ago, and she had been following me as well. Her ability to transform gold into delicate vines and unfurling petals was a perfect fit for my vision of the Secret Garden. As someone who pours my heart into transforming lace and embroideries into wedding dresses that celebrate nature and vintage-inspired romance, I love to collaborate with like-minded artists who truly understand my vision. Maria did so perfectly with these one-of-a-kind engagement rings, harmonizing them with The Secret Garden gowns.
