BIRTHSTONE

This Birthstone Bracelet was a fun project we undertook for one of our favourite customers. We built this easy to wear sterling silver bracelet with a beautiful bright peridot gypsy set into its surface.





Peridot is the birthstone for August. Next month is sapphires - so come and check out our sapphire collection if you are looking for a gift for any September babes out there.

URBAN


Corky Saint Clair has had some great media coverage over the years, including mentions in Wallpaper Magazine, National Geographic, Broadsheet, Timeout Magazine and the Wall Street Journal (!). I guess our tiny, quirky business fits into the 'Secrets of Melbourne' vibe of all of those stories.
We got a nice write up in urbanlist today. I'm glad the writer understood our endless dedication to prettiness, which is what I'm actually interested in.

OPAL

One thing I love about Australia is that we have the prettiest gemstone in the world. Our opals are second to none with their incredible colours which can appear in bold patterns, stripes, crazy patchworks or other-worldly clouds of light.

The top photo of our new opal pendant. This solid opal is from Coober Pedy. It has bright play of colour with a big green flash in its centre and beautiful clouds of electric looking cerulean blue. We have set this stone in a custom made six claw setting that has been slightly oxidised to bring out the colours.buy online











Pretty little lozenge shaped opal from Coober Pedy. This opal measures 19mm long x 15mm wide. It has distinct pools of vivid yellow and blue. It has a concave indentation running down one side which adds to its unique appearance. We have set it with a striking oxidised claw setting that makes its bright colours really pop. The chain and bezel are sterling silver. This piece has been cut, polished and set in Melbourne.

This beautiful boulder opal has two bright opals and a marked area of iron stone in a mysterious triangle layout. This stone is from Queensland, Australia and designed and made in Melbourne. It measures 22mm wide by 25mm high x 4mm deep. The bezel and chain are made from sterling silver. The box link chain is 50cm long.

SIZE





Hey Everybody, I thought I'd post this table to make it a bit easier for people looking at our rings online. We use the US sizing system - you can easily find your size by looking at the table.

When secretly sizing a ring for someone else for a gift trace the INSIDE circumference of the ring.

I think it's actually easier to measure the diameter as it's a straight line and then use geometry (remember....high school math?) to calculate the circumference. I have attached a URL if you can't remember.

We do exchanges on incorrect ring sizes and it's fine for the exchange to happen any time up to the 15th of January on all Christmas gifts bought between now and Christmas.







thanks

Labradorite is a mysterious and interesting stone. Its iridescent surface seems to shift, as if it might reveal new colours and forms if you stare it for long enough. Our customers responded enthusiastically to our Labradorite Half Moon pendant.

We now have matching studs. They have a sterling silver bezel setting that looks cool, casual and easy to wear.

To win a pair for yourself or your girlfriend simply share this post on your Facebook wall. Winner announced on the 12th of February, 2106. Just in time for Valentine's Day.

RAT






What is your totem animal? Is it a sewer rat? Sewer rats are go-getters and are seen to be the most successful mammals after humans in regards to global distribution. We have a new version of our auspicious Solid Sterling Silver Sewer Rat pendant: The Black Sewer Rat.

This little guy looks so sophisticated with a black, matte finish.

Scurry over here to find him for $100AUD.

SPINEL

Once upon a time (or more accurately, before 1587), rubies and spinel stones were interchangeable, each displaying the vivid reds we recognise so easily. They were so indistinguishable in fact, that the 352.5 carat 'Timur Ruby' in Queen Elizabeth's Crown Jewels was actually found to be a Spinel in 1851.

Our spinel rings are just as regal... yet rough and uncut, which makes them seem modern.

We have three available.

You can check them out here.
