# As Featured In The AFR

 26 April 2016

Recently three of our newest cocktail rings were featured in the Australian Financial Review (AFR), it’s fantastic to see our pieces gaining such widespread recognition.

More about our three newest additions:

[**Oval Aquamarine and Diamond Ring:**](http://www.matthewely.com.au/products/oval-aquamarine-and-diamond-ring/2622/?terms=46)

![MattEly_Product_social_3.jpg](https://blog.matthewely.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/InboundPixels/As%20Featured%20In%20The%20AFR/MattEly_Product_social_3.jpg?width=650&height=650&name=MattEly_Product_social_3.jpg)

Aquamarine has to be one of my favourite coloured gems to work with. The life and sparkle that comes from a well-cut aquamarine combined with fine white diamonds is incredible. Our inspiration behind this design was based on clean, modern lines with a classic twist.

A diamond set halo is a great addition for a cocktail ring to add size and sparkle and I wanted to create a slightly more modern look with this one, by adding a bold outer edge and tapered points.

[**Art Deco Emerald and Diamond Ring:**](http://www.matthewely.com.au/products/art-deco-emerald-and-diamond-ring/2627/?terms=40)

![MattEly_Product_social_1.jpg](https://blog.matthewely.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/InboundPixels/As%20Featured%20In%20The%20AFR/MattEly_Product_social_1.jpg?width=650&height=650&name=MattEly_Product_social_1.jpg)

Introducing our new Art Deco emerald and diamond ring. This bespoke beauty was created with elegance in mind. Crafted in 18ct white gold and set with fine white baguette and round brilliant cut diamonds to highlight the spectacular natural emerald in the centre.

[**Cushion Cut Heliodor and Diamond Ring:**](http://www.matthewely.com.au/products/cushion-cut-heliodor-and-diamond-ring/2704/?terms=46)

![MattEly_Product_social_2.jpg](https://blog.matthewely.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/InboundPixels/As%20Featured%20In%20The%20AFR/MattEly_Product_social_2.jpg?width=650&height=650&name=MattEly_Product_social_2.jpg)

What I love most about heliodor, or golden beryl as it's also known, is the vibrant colour and sparkle. It is truly a colour unlike any other gem. This gemstone is from the same family as aquamarine and morganite, also two of my favourite gems to work with and both equally as popular with our clients. Bright, light stones are a great colour choice for an oversized cocktail ring as they often allow the wearer to easily mix and match their new piece in with their current collection.

These new bespoke pieces, and more, can be found in our boutique. For more information or to request a viewing simply [contact the boutique](http://www.matthewely.com.au/contact-us/) and a member of the team will be able to assist.
