The jeweller has since taken a serious stance on providing the proper ornamentation to combine the rituals and traditions of a union with the symbol of the perfect wedding ring. Its Pledge of Love collection will attest to this.

A brilliant row of pavé diamonds in a sturdy setting of square rings of white gold will reflect the durability of any couple’s love and commitment. In addition to this is the solitaire diamond ring set in classic crown design or given a twist with a heart-shaped ring finishing. Another popular setting, the trinity of diamonds that represents love, tenderness and commitment, is beautifully handcrafted to perfection in white gold.

TSL’s latest creations are centred around the simplicity of ‘the wedding proverb’: Something old, Something new Something borrowed, and Something blue.

Its wedding collection of rings draws inspiration from this, according to Western customs, where the old represents tradition; the new represents the couple’s new life; the borrowed means the support and love of friends and family; and the blue means purity. Just as the Pledge of Love collection may appear simple in presentation, but created from the purest of intentions – that you mark your commitment with love, life and happiness.

Happy Valentine’s Day
