GARNET













If you love deep red colours you can go past this Australian garnet from NSW. We have set it in a stylish custom made sterling silver claw setting. The garnet is 1.85ct. It measures 11mm x 6.5mm. Presented on a 45cm sterling silver curb chain.

Garnets are the birthstone for January.

Australia produces almost half of the world garnets, with the rest mainly coming from India, USA, and China. Garnets have also been extracted from Broken Hill in New South Wales (see Google Arts and Culture) and Harts Ranges in Northern Territory since the 1880s, as a by-product of mining other minerals from metamorphic rocks.

One Of A Kind piece, made in Melbourne.

SAPPHIRE

One of my favourite rings we’ve built this year was for Alex in Sydney. 

This minimal 18ct white gold band makes these gemstones sing - the white diamond contrasting with the lush sapphires. We chose a warmer blue to slightly mismatch the ultra vivid centre stone.

PARTI

corkysaintclair

Gorgeous every way you look at it. Chris approached us to build this ring for his partner Michelle to celebrate their engagement. They wanted a sturdy but elegant setting for this incredible Australian parti sapphire from Inverell, NSW. The hand carved band is fabricated in 18ct white gold. The sapphire has delightful flashes of electric blue amongst the many shades of blue and yellow. Bellissimo - truly one for lovers of sapphires

CATHEDRAL


CUSTOM JOB - For Debbi and Chris.
Raw Australian Sapphires cast in solid 18ct Yellow Gold.

Her ring has more blues and his is an essay in greens.

The gemmy uncut sapphires are so clear and bright in this setting they evoke the warm grandeur of a stained glass window.

We can build or design something similar for you. Please make an appointment for a ring consultation.
