  • Work undertaken by other jewellers, including re-sizing

RESIZING

I recommend that you have your finger sized professionally before you purchase a ring – I’m happy to do that in my studio, or you can have local in your area do this for you. Let me know if you would like me to send you a disposable ring sizer in the mail if this is easier for you. I work with Australian standard sizing but can help to convert sizing for you if need be. One ring size is included in any Nicole Winkler bespoke piece, but we need to size it further then there may be a fee for this.

DISCLAIMER

I only use natural gemstones and diamonds. I cannot guarantee that the colour you see matches the colour of the piece, as the display of colour depends often on the type of monitor or device being used.

SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

All my diamonds are conflict-free and ethically sourced. I work with a selection of established diamond and gemstone dealers who are all GIA approved. Each piece of Nicole Winkler jewellery is designed and made in Sydney, Australia with my wonderful team of master jewellers and setters.
