WHY F&L LOVE
Sophie Breitmeyer

One of the aspects about the engagement ring designer Sophie Breitmeyer that I love is her ability to see a creation of metal and stone in all sorts of artistic media. Take the example of her recent collection that she has called the Serpentine Collection which was inspired by a portrait of Elizabeth I. F and I see a painting of sumptuous fabrics and a knotted serpent twisted around the regal arm...Sophie sees a treasure chest of ideas for twisting precious metal in ingenious ways to create elegant jewellery.

Classic with a Twist

Sophie Breitmeyer has a conviction that an engagement ring should look classic and should be crafted in a traditional stylistic vocabulary. This is a belief that she deploys as the foundation of her designs but she adds that modern and unexpected twist to each client’s ring.

She showed me how from a distance her work looks traditional but up close you will see some surprising elements. Taking advantage of unusual shapes like triangles and squares, Sophie’s engagement rings embody secrets and furtive facets that give her clients a truly special commission.

Sophie Breitmeyer's Coloured Diamonds

This designer harbours a not-so-secret passion for engagement rings designed with coloured diamonds. Sophie tells me how these stones are misunderstood by the general population who covet them but assume they must be beyond the budget. In reality Sophie Breitmeyer has found creative and stunning ways of giving her clients the capacity to own an unusual yellow, brown or black diamond without breaking the bank.

She combines her instinct for sourcing these curiously hued stones with unique cuts and blended golds to create engagement rings that look like no others.
