The weight of a gemstone is very important and is one of the key factors in its value. That's why it is good to be able to estimate the finished weight you'll be able to achieve when buying rough material. 

Everyone has to start at the beginning.

20 years ago, my Nanna and I went on an adventure to New Zealand, and went gold panning in Arrowtown. We took it very seriously and eventually found the tiniest flaky grain of alluvial gold... 

We have teamed up with Rock'N'Roll Bride, the ultimate guide for the alternative bride, again so you will find us in their new issue! 

Excited to see rings from our GoldRush collection featured in the Phonaudio promo shots.

We were honoured to be a finalist for the CanadaMark Jewellery Competition 2016 along with 13 other amazing designers. Thank you for having us! 

Our aim is to bring the same supply chain management to the jewellery industry as supermarkets have done with fresh produce.

We're exhibiting at IJL this year, see you there!

We came across Diamondoodles whilst scrolling on Instagram; it was love at first sight. All of their products are just so fun, quirky and whimsical, we were drawn in and knew we had to reach out.

We would be delighted to help you design and create your own engagement ring or wedding band.

A client set us the challenge to create a ring setting for their magnificently carved moonstone. Working with their ideas and inspirations, we designed this hand carved, black rhodium plated silver ring. 

Gemmology is an ever expanding field with new deposits being discovered and treatments to gemstones whether to enhance or deceive always throwing up new challenges. This is why we feel it is important to attend two conferences every year to keep our knowledge current.

Our new gemstone candies are sure to hit your sweet spot.

Coloured gemstones can look just like sweeties and rocks are as hard as, well, rock. Put them together and what do you get...Gem Rock! 

There are many jewellery design competitions throughout the year however when we heard that CandaMark™ were looking for entries to their inaugural Jewellery Design Competition, we couldn't wait to take part.

I’ve always loved jewellery and being creative. Whether that was making beads out of newspaper and glue when I was 10, or a rather obsessive habit of making friendship bracelets up until the age of 15 (which I used to tie to my big toe!). 

Pop out, diamond rings are the perfect adornment for any hand. 

We now have these super sweet rings available in our online shop.

We love getting dirty...They smell good enough to eat and are so convincing, they could fool any gem geek.
