AL: SUNBURST SYNTHESIS

18 carat yellow gold, blue green parti sapphire, yellow parti sapphire, champagne diamond.

A pale blue green parti, a yellow sapphire and a champagne diamond merge in 18 carat yellow gold radiant settings to form a dreamy cluster of light and warmth.
The palette makes me think of summer drenched photos, light bouncing of water and long grass, hazily backlit by sun and kissed with solar flares.
A tiny little cosmos of warm hearts and big feelings.

FD 4 EP: STELLAR BLOOM

18 carat yellow gold, teal parti sapphire, white diamonds.

EP loved the colours, textures and structure of the Asteris ring, but dreamed of a larger central sapphire to use a pair of heirloom white diamonds from her grandmother’s ring. A radiant setting like petals or star shine, lands like a heaven sent floral burst suspended between rocky meteoric side settings. The symmetry of the form, and the slight variation of shapes and texture in the shoulder elements strike a perfect balance. (and made it a pretty great piece for a Paris proposal – I think)

T+W: THE EVERLASTING UNIVERSE OF THINGS

18 carat yellow gold, 14 carat yellow gold, freefore blue parti sapphires.

Made for a beautiful pair who wanted special pieces that embodied ‘the everlasting universe of things – of nature and of love, the undulating force of life and the strength that it takes individually, and together, to travel life’s journey.’
These QLD sapphires are incredible beauties that flash various hues. I also love the wild landscape of a setting that speaks to freedom for growth, having stability, and being rock solid whatever the weather.

AM: MONUMENTAL

9 carat yellow gold, blue parti sapphire.

A ring for a friend who is truly a solid gold force of nature, in trade for one of her long coveted early photographic works.

The perfect thing in return seemed to be a Ledge style ring set with a striking parti sapphire in a trapezoid cut. A brutalist inspired form, an elevated tapered platform and a raked concrete like texture set with polished geometric prismatic blue. A monument for a finger of a friend.

A patinaed world-worn obelisk stands against a blurred low horizon and an endless turquoise blue void.
The immaterial plays across the surface of the material, the tangible is tensioned against the transcendent, and the relatively small object becomes monolithic.

DB+JP: HEAVENLY ROCKS

18 carat yellow gold, white diamonds.

An elevated take on the Precious Big Rock ring for lovely clients. A central bright white diamond with a halo of small stones studded in an arc of gold.

KS: LIGHT SPAN

18 carat white gold, parti sapphire, white and champagne diamonds.

Such a stunning freeform cut, parti sapphire from QLD at the centre of this one…for a stunning and excellent human!
Cool greens and teal blues flash from within, the hues shift a little depending on the light, ref;lection and refraction. , jungle green, a bit of olive, is that lime, oh steal blue, hello slatey grey. Framed in a radiant style bezel in white gold and grounded by rocky settings studded with small sapphires and white diamonds for a little more depth and light, and a bit of fun.
I was so honoured to make this one.

AH: OCEAN FLOOR RING

18 carat yellow gold, sapphires, heirloom white diamond.

A beautiful bespoke piece for a client celebrating a 40th birthday.
Emulating a treasure plucked from the sea with three gems representing special people in their life. Teal and blue Australian sapphires and a champagne diamond bring the glint and the glimmer of sunshine through the watery depths.

BN: GOLDEN DUNE

9 carat yellow gold, parti sapphires.

Undulating form and texture, a gently windswept sandscape dotted with a spectrum of sea green and rainforest hues.

SL: SUNSET REEF

18 carat yellow gold, sapphires.

A shimmer of pink and gold created to sit alongside the varied deep blue green hues of parti sapphires in an engagement ring. A pink sapphire sunset with a little wink of a champagne diamond.

WH: RUBY ROCK DAISIES

18 carat yellow gold, rubies.

A special piece made for a lover of daisies and rich and warm joyful colours. The bezel of the rocky settings have been worked to emanate a petal like fringe in lush sunshiny gold around the deep rich red of the rubies. What a garden of delights!

LMB: DEEP SPACE AND LUMINOUS OBJECTS

18 carat yellow gold, sapphire.

An elevated setting for this celestial body.
A dark blue green parti sapphire from Queensland encircled in brilliant 18 carat yellow gold, a minimal structure with radiant textures.

AK: GOLD DUST WATTLE

9 carat yellow gold, sapphires.

A little golden sphere, textured and studded with yellow sapphires reminiscent of the bloom of a Gold Dust wattle. As both a gesture and a symbol, it is a capsule for a memory of a particular moment in time, and in which a tiny tangible momento can be kept close.

EM: OCEAN BLUE ENSEMBLE

18 carat yellow gold, sapphires.

A seascape of tones and hues set around the deepest blue oval shaped heirloom sapphire. The collection of sentimental and selected stones symbolising a relationship that spans the depths and breadths of the Pacific bound in an unique, adventurous framework that’s golden.

IB: TECTONIC SYMMETRY

18 carat yellow gold, Australian green and blue green sapphire, white diamonds.

A custom piece made for a Melbournite living in London, coordinated by her partner. After a quick phone call followed by many emails and photos we landed on the perfect form, colours and materials for this special ring that references a traditional style, though seems wrought by nature. An Australian sapphire was set in 18 carat yellow gold and balanced above rocky outcrops embedded with white diamonds, elevating its blue green hues. This equally robust and delicate beauty did an easy continental drift from here to there, and really peaked when it was popped on a finger high in the Swiss Alps!

JW: ROCK GARDEN IN BLOOM

18 carat yellow gold, blue sapphire NSW, parti sapphire QLD

A custom beauty combining rocky settings, gold petals and pods to create a rock garden in bloom featuring tonal blues of sapphires from New South Wales and Queensland.

GL: TREASURE MAP

18 carat yellow gold, heirloom blue sapphires and white diamonds.

A wider, thicker, windier, more rounded version of the Golden Path ring, plump enough to set the small heirloom princess cut sapphires on an angle and with the round white diamonds scattered around.

The grain set princess (square) cut stones take on a petalled or star like shape on the textured band, conjuring a path strewn with floral detritus or guiding stars in a golden night sky, some sort of trail of treasures.

MB: SERENE & SNUG

18 carat white gold, Australian green sapphires, white diamonds.

A custom take on the Nook and Landscape rings.
After a few months of back and forth about colours, materials, composition, stone sourcing and selection and sizing, these two nestling beauties with fern and dappled light  greens and sparkling white gems have finally found their way to their home on a hand in Wollongong.
