I had a challenging design to come up with for this custom make; the client had many stones in many shapes and sizes to use, and the aim was to use as many as possible. Having two trillion shaped Tanzanites of different sizes meant we needed to find [...]

This stunning statement pendant was just collected, using recycled gold and and heirloom diamond. A contemporary take on a solitaire pendant, utilising all the old gold pieces in a bold extra large disc style pendant, with a soft matte finish to give it a more modern feel. It's [...]

I was really excited and a little nervous when I made this beauty, my client Rob had spent hundreds of hours collecting this gold himself. Wading the icy cold rivers here in Tasmania, collecting Alluvial Gold deposits. He is a keen prospector and adventurer, it's only fitting his [...]

This was a beautiful remake of a jewellery box of unworn items. We wanted to create something bold, but simple. We had a bit more of a classic configuration of diamonds in mind, but the layout lent itself better for an east west oval pavé plate. Having a [...]

At the end of May we got the keys to our brand-new store, and truth be told, it needed a lot of love to get it to where it is today. I went in with some clear ideas of how I wanted the space to flow and feel. The [...]

Last year we saw an increase in those wanting to design their engagement rings with large Queensland sapphires in blues, teals, and greens. We thought it was about time we had a deeper dive into these stunning gems that we are lucky to have right here on our [...]

Hey folks, A lot has happened since we last spoke, both positive and negative – but it’s all part of the ride of owning a small business; I wouldn’t change it for the world. Firstly, thank you for the overwhelming support during July after someone broke in and [...]

Spring is an exciting time as I can get out fossicking for Tassie stones more often (or at the very least, not have frozen fingers half an hour in!) The birthstones of Spring are also exciting– September is all about the Sapphires; October the Opals; November the Topaz. [...]

We are overwhelmed with the support that everyone gives us each year over the Christmas period, and it’s almost that time again. This year we’ve added a ‘made to order’ section on the website, and set a date for orders to be in by so we have plenty [...]
