1.15ct centre diamond with 0.18ct of diamonds in the shoulder of the ring

This ring is a very classic design that really works to allow as much light into the diamond as possible adding to its "Fire and Brilliance". My clients went for a spectacular stone, one that was smaller than their friends but with higher specifications so that it would absolutely out sparkle their friends diamonds.

0.78ct centre diamond set in a custom design setting for my client

She has fine features and a personality to suit, so the design instruction was to be able to match the ring design to her, delicate, fine and bright. So I designed this setting for her, to allow the maximum amount of light into the diamond, enhancing its natural brightness, and i decided to use four claws so we could keep the setting as fine and delicate as possible without encroaching on the diamond at all.

1.71ct princess cut diamond solitaire ring

This stone was so bright and intense that the only thing we could really do with it, was to maximise the "Fire and Brilliance" coming out of it. That is why we created the open gallery styled setting, and used only 4 claws. the ring is made in platinum, so i was able to achieve a mirror finish on the inside of the setting adding more sparkle to the diamond.

0.21ct Black Diamond set in platinum and 18ct white gold

This is a gent’s ring that has a 0.21ct black diamond in the centre set in platinum on top of an 18ct white gold ring that has been divided into 3 sections with the centre section having a satin finish applied to it going in the opposite direction to the 2 grooves to create contrast and definition.

We also decided that we would black rhodium the centre section of the ring to compliment the black diamond and give some serious contrast to the highly polished white gold on the outside of the grooves.

This is one of my favourite pieces of men’s jewellery that I have created; the strong bold lines and the texturing in the centre really contrast with the black and white metal and diamond colours.

Bridal Jewellery

These rings were designed as a matched set and have the same composition of diamonds in them. Both rings use baguette (rectangular) and round diamonds.

The engagement ring has an emerald cut diamond in the centre and is slightly raised compared to the surrounding diamonds to create a sense of differentiation and to mark it as the centre diamond.

The wedding band uses a simpler style by alternating the diamonds in the setting, but the overall effect is great and with the minimum use of gold to hold the diamonds in I have been able to maximize the brilliance of the diamonds.

Pink and White Diamond set Black Pearl Pendant

This was a great piece to design and make for John, he wanted to surprise his wife on their 15th wedding anniversary and came to me to design something special for her.

We decided to use a Black Tahitian Pearl as the main stone for the pendant, and then we accented it with a combination of white and pink diamonds, mostly to contrast the colours in the pearl as they ranged from dark greens to blacks to greys, so we both felt this would really help to bring out the colours with the contrast.

3.20ct Fancy Yellow Diamond with White Diamond Surround Pendant

This piece was made for a lucky lady who inherited this magnificent yellow diamond.

The diamond has been in her family for a generation and she was the second person to own it so she really wanted to create something special. She is a very contemporary lady who enjoys a slightly abstract edge to her style, hence the minimal design.

We set the yellow diamond in some mirror polished yellow gold so that we could really get the best colour out of it, then we created an abstract arabesque shape, which we then added some white diamonds to so that we could bring more sparkle to the pendant when she moved around, especially with the diamonds in the angled section of the top of the arabesque.

20.57ct Royal Amethyst surrounded with 2.00ct of white diamonds

This piece was made for a lady who loves big things and rich colours.

This ring is set with a 20.57ct Royal Amethyst and then surrounded with 2.00ct of white diamonds.

The Amethyst is called a Royal because of its intensity and depth of colour. In fact it was quite dark compared to most Amethysts but when we put the diamonds around it and down the shoulders of the band, it really started to lift, and you can see through the middle of the stone that the colour is significantly different to the outside. This is because the light coming through the centre of the stone is brighter from the diamonds surrounding it.

Parti Sapphire 5.83cts

This is one of my favourite pieces, primarily because it uses an Art Deco technique to surround the Parti Sapphire with diamonds of varying sizes, largest at the centre of the bottom and then the smallest at the centre of the top.

The Parti Sapphire is 5.83cts in weight and the total diamond weight in the piece is slightly under 1.00cts. This was an anniversary gift from an amazing guy, who is always buying jewellery for his wife, whether it be for her birthday or anniversary. A Parti Sapphire is called that because of the mix of both Australian blue and green colours throughout the sapphire, it is a great mix to look at especially in such a vibrant stone like the one you see here, it really has what we call “presence”.

0.32ct centre diamond with 0.66cts set around the centre

This is an elegant and very classically designed ring, the centre diamond is surrounded with lots of small diamonds to maximise the sparkle throughout the ring. There is quite a bit of fine filigree work on the under side of the setting, which adds that special touch of detail to the ring. it was based on an art deco style but the client wanted to modernise it as much as possible, so we simplified the detail and ended up with a spectacular ring.
