Choosing an engagement ring or a gift for a very special occasion is hard. You want something that will be appealing, individual, and that can stand the test of time; something unique and timeless. Perhaps a rare or unusual gemstone will make the piece stand out? However, you may want to have something that reflects the personality of the wearer, a memento of a particular time in their life that they can wear every day? It's safe to say that buying a gift for someone for a particularly special occasion isn't always easy.

Even Derek Paterson, Managing Director of T. Paterson Jeweller is torn when choosing between a one-of-a-kind piece designed (and made) on site, and the rare and unusual gemstones that they stock. Thankfully he doesn’t have to choose. T. Paterson Jeweller sources many rare and unusual gemstones from around the world. What's more, these stones often have unique properties and many require specialist design to complement the stone. Pieces such as these offer an opportunity to own something unique and timeless.

Derek has a soft spot for these unusual pieces and he's been glad to see that awareness of some of these rare and unusual stones is increasing and people are interested in a gemstone with a story.

When only a diamond will do

That said, sometimes a diamond is the only choice. It has a strong tradition as the stone for engagement rings after all. T. Paterson Jewellers' in-house jewellery designers are adept at highlighting diamonds in a custom setting. These diamond rings offer a truly unique piece of jewellery. What better way to celebrate a special moment than with something unique and timeless? People really appreciate the fact that they can buy something a little bit different at T. Paterson Jeweller.

Their in-house jewellery designers utilise modern 3D modelling procedures. Having a 3D model of the piece allows the client to see (and feel) their piece before it’s even cast. What's more, this modern technology allows designers to create pieces that would simply be impossible using traditional methods alone.
