Our Gertrude Ring (named after Gertrude Elion and her revolutionary approach to drug development) features an elegant twisted design with sophisticated gold that spirals beautifully around the band. This refined ring showcases exceptional craftsmanship with its smooth, rope-like finish that creates mesmerising light play from every angle. Designed with comfort in mind, it has a curved inside that makes it very easy to wear. The timeless twisted pattern creates visual interest while maintaining classic elegance, perfect for daily wear.

Gertrude Elion revolutionised medicine through her pioneering "rational drug design"—a systematic approach that replaced trial-and-error with precise biochemical understanding. Her ground breaking methodology created life-saving treatments for childhood leukemia, enabled organ transplants, and developed the first antiviral drugs. Despite facing gender discrimination that denied her a doctoral degree, she earned the Nobel Prize and transformed pharmaceutical research forever. Like the elegant twisted spirals of our Gertrude ring, her innovative approach intertwined science and compassion, creating a legacy that continues saving millions of lives today.

These guys are amazing at what they do. They created my beautiful engagement ring, as well as both of our wedding rings. We appreciate the stories behind all of the gems that they use and the hard work they put into all their creations. They are clearly passionate about what they do and I recommend them very highly.
