Here are few examples of previous commissions.

    

Blue Ceylon Sapphire and Diamond Ring in 18ct White Gold.
This striking ring was commissioned as a celebration ring for a beautiful mother of four. The brief was to design a ring that combined a modern aesthetic with the Art Deco style.

    

Rhodolite Garnet and Diamond Ring in 18ct White Gold.
Commissioned as a special birthday gift, the client chose this beautiful cherry pink Rhodolite Garnet, full of purple and pink fire.  The central stone is highlighted by tiny diamonds set into the claws and stylised leaf design on the side of the ring.

    

Green Sapphire and Diamond Engagement Ring in 18ct White Gold.
The client who commissioned this engagement ring wanted something that reflected his fiancée’s unique beauty and style.  We worked together to design this stunning one of a kind ring.

    

Ceylon Blue Sapphire and Diamond Ring in 18ct White Gold.
These clients had several very clear design ideas they wanted incorporated into their engagement ring. The Ceylon Sapphire reflected his Sri Lankan heritage and the intertwined band represented their future life as a couple together. This unique engagement ring can be flanked by pave' diamond split wedding bands or worn as a combined engagement and wedding band.

    

Rhodolite Garnet and Diamond Engagement Ring in 18ct Yellow Gold.
The deep purple ruby red of the natural Rhodolite Garnet is framed by the rich tones of the 18ct Yellow Gold. The tiny brilliant cut diamonds lift this ring from a dress ring into a luxe engagement ring.

    

Champagne Diamond Art Deco Plaque ring.
This stunning dress ring was made as a 10th anniversary gift. The design was inspired by Art Deco jewellery but with a modern interpretation. The central stones are Australian Champagne diamonds and the surrounding 0.01ct diamonds add up to over half a carat.

    

Bi-Colour Tourmaline Ring in 9ct White Gold.
I designed a very simple setting to keep this unique stone the focus in this ring. Tourmalines come in many shades and this beautiful specimen fades from sea green to candy pink.


    

Pave' Diamond Wedding Bands in 18ct White Gold.
These delicate bands were designed to be worn with the Green Sapphire and Diamond engagement ring. The two rings worn either side of the engagement ring make the perfect frame for the central Sapphire.

    

Diamond Earrings and Pendant.
My client who I designed this diamond suite for bought her own diamonds on a trip to Dubai. Before leaving I gave her a crash course on diamond grading and some guidelines to avoiding pitfalls. When she returned from a very successful trip we worked together to design these timeless pieces.


    

Tahitian Pearl and Diamond Earrings and Pendant.
This commission was for the birth of a client’s second child. He had purchased the Tahitian Pearls whilst working in the north of Australia and wanted to have them set as a gift for his wife. We decided on a simple setting with a diamond highlight so they could be worn for both evening and everyday.


    

Amethyst, Diamond and Yellow Sapphire Pendant in 9ct Yellow and White Gold.
This piece was remodeled from my client's existing pendant. The brief was to design a modern, asymmetrical piece inspired by an image from a French Vogue magazine.


Advocates for Survivors of Child Abuse (ASCA) “Creating New Possibilities” Pendant.
ASCA launched their new logo in 2008 and wanted a range of jewellery featuring their new branding. Utilising their logo I designed a pendant and cufflinks in two tone sterling silver and a premium range in 9ct white gold with punch set diamond highlights. Pendants and cufflinks can be purchased at www.asca.org.au
