Josh Ruffels x Fergus James
At Fergus James, we believe the most meaningful jewellery always begins with love, intention, and eloquent design. What starts as an engagement ring often evolves into a suite of pieces marking key milestones — each one a chapter in a beautiful, lifelong story.
When footballer Josh Ruffels came to us seeking not only a bespoke engagement ring and wedding bands, but also a personalised name necklace and hoop earrings, we recognised something special was unfolding. This was more than jewellery — it was love made visible, crafted to accompany a relationship defined by dedication, authenticity, and joy.
A Partnership Built on Purpose
Josh Ruffels is known for his elegant play on the pitch, but his life off it reflects an even deeper elegance — one rooted in values, family, and the sanctity of special moments. His relationship has been one of trust, evolution, and shared vision — a bond that deserves to be marked thoughtfully.
From the moment he contacted Fergus James, we knew Josh was looking for more than aesthetics. He was seeking pieces that could speak to legacy, connection, and character. It was clear our journey together would be both personal and profound.
The Engagement Ring: A Promise Before Anything Else
Every love story deserves its own moment, captured in a ring that holds meaning. Josh's engagement ring was designed with clarity and care — a piece that doesn't shout, but resonates.
Crafted in our Dubai atelier, the engagement ring was chosen to reflect unwavering commitment — something timeless and true, just like their connection. It's the type of ring she'll wear not just on special days, but every day, a reminder of a promise made with heart and intention.
Wedding Bands: Sealed with Purpose
As their relationship entered the next stage, Josh returned to create matching wedding bands — a symbol of mutual devotion, authenticity, and unity.
His partner's band was designed to complement her engagement ring while standing gracefully on its own — delicate, meaningful, and built for life's journey. Josh's own band echoed his personal style — confident, understated, and steadfast.
Like their love, these rings will be worn for a lifetime — symbols not of show, but of shared experiences, resilience, and endless togetherness.
The Name Necklace: Love, in Every Letter
Beyond the rings, Josh wanted to create something personal — a gift that would celebrate their daughter, GiGi, and the love they share as a family. We worked with him to design a custom name necklace — elegant, meaningful, and worn proudly by his wife.
Handcrafted in our Dubai studio, the necklace carries more than just a name — it carries story, sentiment, and a quiet reminder of the little girl who holds their hearts. A timeless piece, worn close, that says everything without needing to say a word.
Hoop Earrings: Everyday Elegance
Finally, Josh chose a pair of classic hoop earrings — timeless yet adaptable, elegant yet free. Simple in design, they offer effortless sophistication, adding a finishing touch that balances every look.
These hoops speak to confidence, balance, and self-expression. A gift to complement her daily life — and a signature piece she can turn to again and again.

Crafted With Care, Delivered With Trust
From our first conversation to the moment Josh collected the finished pieces, every step was guided by care, communication, and collaboration. Our Dubai atelier's master jewellers brought each design to life, combining precision with artistry and giving each item its own heartbeat.
For Josh, the process was intuitive — guided by our team, informed by his values, and always focused on celebration. For us, working with him reaffirmed why we do this — to empower, to honour, and to co-create
