Here’s me giving a demo of the Ring Holder Necklace from my Oppenwark Collection works. It’s so secure I almost couldn’t get the ring off ;-) See below for the backstory and inception..

I created the ringholder with my clients in mind since so many spoke to me about having to take rings off for work, washing hands, putting on cream, doing the gardening etc etc.

A common theme was that they didn’t want to leave their pieces at home in a box, lose it from their pocket or forget it on a window ledge - they wanted to quickly put their ring somewhere safe and, if possible, still wear it somehow.

It was actually a client who suggested designing a necklace that was functional yet beautiful, so we worked together to create a one-off piece to match my Wings collection.

When creating my Oppenwark Collection, the shape needed for the ringholder to work lent itself naturally to the flow of an Oppenwark lace shawl so I included this piece in the range.

I’m delighted that it has gone on to become one of my best selling pieces.
