The Ellershie

Our range of engagement rings are perfect for people who prefer handmade, ethically produced beautiful jewellery.  Our eco-friendly jewellery is made entirely from sustainably sourced recycled precious metals in our family run workshop in Wetherby, Yorkshire. 

All our gold rings contain natural alluvial river gold from an area of your choosing, gifted from our family collection therefore connecting people to places of importance in their lives.  Gold panning can be done in a manner which is sustainable and not at all detrimental to the environment by respecting nature and the landowners alike.  We currently hold a stunning collection of alluvial gold spanning across Southern and Northern England, Central and Northern Wales, Southern, Central and Northern Scotland, Southern and Northern Ireland, Italy, France, Spain, Poland, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Canada, Japan and New Zealand.

Our palladium rich white gold alloy never needs replating and is enriched with platinum group elements.

All of the 950 platinum in our collection is fully recycled which avoids the harmful effects of mining and protects the environment by conserving energy and re-using existing resources.

All recycled diamonds at 0.50ct or above have a minimum standard of Clarity SI and Colour H. Certified by GIA.

All lab grown diamonds at 0.50ct or above have a minimum standard of Clarity VS and Colour E. Certified by GIA / IGI or HRD.

All our diamonds are conflict-free, we work with either lab grown diamonds or diamonds that have been recycled.

All our gemstones are ethically sourced and conflict free. As all our rings are made to order, exact colour tone of gemstones may vary but we always seek best quality stones available at the time of purchase.

All our pieces are created individually and are fully handmade. We take pride in creating all our pieces from molten metal in our workshop. They roll around in the bottom of our crucibles before being poured, rolled, shaped and polished into their final form. Our pieces are truly handmade in every sense of the word and are presented in a hand carved, wooden presentation box created by good old Grandpa Ray.

With every order, we plant a tree within the Caledonian Forest in Scotland. Find out more about our partnership with Trees for Life

It is a legal requirement for any piece of jewellery weighing more than 1g of gold or 0.5g of platinum to be hallmarked by an independent assay office.   We hallmark our pieces at Edinburgh Assay Office.
