How We Work

We are wary of the word sustainability. It has been used to sell so much jewellery that it no longer tells a buyer anything, and a small house making a few hundred rings a year is not in a position to make claims about an industry.

What we can tell you is how this house actually operates.

Nothing is made before it is chosen

There is no stock. Every ring is built after someone has decided they want it, which means nothing is produced speculatively, nothing is discounted to clear it, and nothing is written off unsold. This is the single largest difference between how we work and how most jewellery reaches a shop.

One workshop, in Sydney

The pieces are made by the same small workshop that has built them from the start. Not a production floor, not sent offshore, and not whichever setter happens to be free that week.

Gold

We use recycled gold where the alloy and quantity allow, and we rework gold clients already own. We do not claim a fully closed supply chain, because we cannot verify one.

Stones

We set both natural and laboratory-grown diamonds and state which in writing. Laboratory-grown stones avoid mining entirely. Antique and old mine stones were cut generations ago, which makes reusing one the oldest form of recycling in this trade. Neither position is presented here as morally superior to the other.

Repair rather than replace

Every piece carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturing fault, and we repair, resize and refinish for as long as a ring is worn. A ring that lasts fifty years is the most useful thing we can offer on this subject.
