Silver Pickle Jewellery - "Sometimes you get to make the most wonderful pieces for customers and then you have the genuine struggle to box it up and post it off. This is one of those times. This is a triple stacking ring made out of 9ct yellow Gold and has a big beautiful  Garnet (like a red berry), a delicious Peridot and a vibrant Tanzanite. They look great together in the gold and I hope they are enjoyed forever."
