Understand Diamonds Before You Choose One.

A commission unfolds over six to eight weeks, from the first appointment to the finished piece. The early weeks are given to selection and design; the remainder to the workshop, where the piece is set by hand. Timelines are shaped by the nature of the design and the stone, and we provide a considered estimate once the brief is settled. Where an occasion is fixed, tell us the date, and the house will work to meet it.

Yes. A lab grown diamond is diamond in every physical, chemical, and optical respect. It is graded to the same standards, certified by the same laboratories, and indistinguishable to the eye. The single distinction is origin: one is formed within the earth over millennia, the other grown under the same conditions in a matter of weeks. We work almost exclusively in lab grown stones because they allow a finer diamond for the same investment, with no compromise in quality.

Certainly, and it is among the most meaningful work we undertake. A number of our commissions begin with a stone already held: an inherited diamond, or a stone from a piece no longer worn. Before any design proceeds, the stone is examined closely for its condition, as older stones can carry inclusions or wear that affect how they may be reset. We will advise you honestly on what can be done, and on any precautions the setting requires, so that its history is carried safely into something made to be worn again. Sentiment is treated with the same care as the metal.

We do. Much of the consultation can happen remotely, with secure shipping and full certification for clients outside Melbourne.

Gentle regular cleaning and periodic professional checks keep it brilliant. We include care guidance with every piece.
