Description
Each centre diamond is selected individually for cut, proportion and how it presents on the hand.
Old mine cuts are chosen for character rather than a uniform modern template. Their softer outlines, deeper proportions and broader faceting mean two stones of the same carat weight can present differently on the hand. We select for face-up spread, balance and personality, not the carat number alone. 'Old mine' describes the cut character; laboratory-grown stones are newly created, while natural stones may be newly cut or antique depending on the diamond selected.
Moval is an elongated hybrid outline that sits between an oval and a marquise. Ratios and facet patterns vary by stone, so we select each centre diamond for its individual proportions rather than to a single fixed measurement.
On timing
Made to order and crafted by hand in Australia. Please allow 10–12 weeks once your design and centre diamond are confirmed.
The setting is made around the proportions of your chosen diamond rather than pulled from stock or adapted from a finished ring. The timeframe gives the workshop room to finish the piece properly.
If you are working to a proposal, travel or celebration date, an express making service may be available for an additional fee, subject to workshop capacity. Please tell us your date before ordering.
Client care
Made to order. Each ring is made individually after your stone is confirmed — in our Sydney workshop for clients in Australia, and at our partner workshop in London for clients in the United Kingdom.
Stone documentation. You receive the grading report for your stone where one exists, along with a written statement of origin: natural, laboratory-grown, reclaimed or antique. Where a stone's history cannot be verified, we say so.
Resizing. Engagement rings include one complimentary resize within twelve months of delivery, where the design allows. Some settings cannot be resized without compromising the structure, and we will say so at the time of order. Wedding bands are made to the size you supply; altering one afterwards is possible on most designs and is quoted individually.
Warranty. Lifetime warranty against manufacturing fault.
Shipping. Complimentary worldwide, fully insured and signature-required. Rings for UK clients are made and dispatched within the United Kingdom, so there are no import duties or customs charges to pay on arrival.
After delivery. Resizing, repairs and warranty are handled by our team in Adelaide, who took your order and know the piece. For clients in the United Kingdom, the work itself is carried out at our London workshop, so nothing needs to cross a border.
Returns. Made-to-order pieces are not returnable. We would rather you saw the ring first, in person or in film.
