Titanium Mountain-scape Wedding Bands
Philippa and Roddy asked us to craft this unique pair of matching Titanium wedding rings. Roddy had proposed to Philippa whilst walking on Ben Eighe so we engraved the couple’s own hand drawn skyline of the mountain-scape for them. It … Continue reading
Viking Dragons Wedding Rings in Titanium
Jessica and Norry asked us to craft a pair of bespoke Titanium wedding rings to feature Viking Dragon heads, Celtic Knotwork, a Thistle and a Shamrock to symbolise their combined heritages. It was great working with them both to encapsulate their ideas and create a design that they were both delighted with. When working with Titanium, we have a variety of finishing options that we can achieve. Both Jessica and Norry chose a natural, polished finish which complimented the design beautifully.
The couple kindly emailed to let us know once the rings had arrived:
‘Our rings arrived today and they are absolutely perfect! Thank you so much again for everything!’ Continue reading

Stac Pollaidh Wedding Rings
Roxane and Gearóid asked if we would create their bespoke wedding rings featuring the skyline of Stac Pollaidh along with some Celtic Knotwork. The mountain, Stac Pollaidh is in the North West Scottish Highlands and has a special significance to the couple so we based the design upon a sketch which Roxane made of the skyline of the ridge.
As the rings were to be in Sterling Silver we suggested that we make them from Argentium Silver which is a type of Sterling Silver that is more robust and tarnish resistant.
The couple kindly emailed when their rings arrived; “We picked our rings from the post office depot today – they are fantastic, we are absolutely delighted!!!
Thanks again for everything!” Continue reading

Scandinavian Wedding Rings in Titanium
We crafted this special pair of wedding rings for Alan and Malene.
The design is the distinctive Scandinavian Borre style ring-braid engraved into aerospace grade titanium. Malene’s ring was finished with a high polish whilst Alan’s ring was given a contrasting matte/iron finish.
“May I just add to that how thrilled I am, with the rings. Exactly what we wanted, and 1st rate service.”
Unique Bear and Stag Wedding Rings
We created these unique wedding rings for Jamie and Jenn after discussing various ideas and using the couple’s own drawings inspired by ancient designs.
Jamie’s ring was crafted from a solid piece of Aerospace grade Titanium bar, featuring a Bear and Jenn’s ring is in Rose Gold and has a leaping Stag. Both rings also incorporate a spiral design flowing around the circumference of the rings.
The couple kindly emailed the following; “We’re really pleased with our rings. Rab and Tanya’s gentle coaxing helped us clarify a fairly broad design brief. The end result is everything we hoped for, two unique but thematically linked rings reflecting the union of their recipients. Thank you.” Continue reading

Old Wrought Iron Celtic Ring Made in Aerospace Grade Titanium
We were commissioned to craft this very unusual ring for Skyler who asked that we use aerospace grade titanium but with the special request to give it an old wrought iron look and feel, with a Celtic knotwork design. This is the first time that we have made a ring quite like this and after a process of research and development to get this finish we are very happy with how it turned out. Using titanium meant that this ring is far lighter and more durable than if we had used wrought iron.
Skyler kindly emailed us when her ring arrived;
“It has a perfect fit and is astoundingly beautiful. Aside from the special sentiments it personally holds, I receive multiple compliments daily. Thank you so much for such a gorgeous piece of art.” Continue reading

Celtic Knotwork Hearts on Bespoke Titanium Wedding Rings
We designed and made these rings for Heather and Joe incorporating an abstract Celtic heart intertwining knotwork design. They’re made in Aerospace grade Titanium and have been given a high polish finish with a personal inscription engraved inside.
Here’s the email we received from the couple before their wedding:
“Hi Rab and Tanya,
We don’t just like the rings we think they’re wonderful!
You have captured everything we wanted in the design. The presentation box was a nice touch and will be a treasured keep sake. Thank you so much for everything. Tomorrow we exchange our rings, and are both so excited.
We would be honoured if you would include our comments on your blog, and you can be certain that whenever possible, we will recommend you to others. Once again thank you both for everything.
Best wishes, Heather and Joe” Continue reading

Custom Made Titanium Wedding Rings
Received some very kind comments from our customers who recently commissioned a pair of custom made titanium wedding rings.
“Dear Rab and Tanya,
We are both delighted with the wedding rings you made for us. We really enjoyed the whole experience of sketching out our ideas, visiting your home and workshop and how you took the time to listen to our ideas before helping us finalise our design with care and attention to detail. We are really happy that our rings have been made locally, and that they are the only two in the world!
Rainnea is a small family-run business that we would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for something truly unique, personal and finished to a high quality.
Thank you very much.
Brigitte & Lucas”
