Commissions, Redesigns & Engagement Rings
A piece made only for you. I design and handmake commissions, engagement rings, wedding bands and redesigns of inherited jewellery in my studio at 351 Bronte Road, Bronte, Sydney. Every piece starts with a conversation and is made by hand, from first sketch to final polish.
Commissions
A pendant for a milestone birthday, earrings that match a memory, a keepsake with a fingerprint, initials or a date. Bring an idea, a photo or just a feeling, and we’ll design it together in silver or gold, with or without gemstones.
Redesigns: give old gold a new life
Many of my favourite pieces began in a drawer: a grandmother’s ring, a broken chain, a wedding band that no longer fits your life. I can melt and recast your gold, reuse your stones, and turn them into something you’ll wear every day, keeping the story and changing the form. Read the melted wedding ring story.
Engagement rings & wedding bands
Engagement rings in 9ct or 18ct gold with diamonds or coloured gemstones, and wedding bands made to sit perfectly beside them, including fingerprint wedding bands. See bespoke rings and wedding bands.

Stories from my clients
Questions
Do I need to know exactly what I want? No. Many clients start with a feeling, a photo or an old piece of jewellery. Designing it together is part of the process.
Can you use my own gold or stones? Usually, yes. Tell me what you have and I’ll let you know what’s possible.
How long does it take? Most commissions take 3 to 6 weeks from approved design, depending on the piece. If you have a date in mind, mention it in your enquiry.
How do I find the ring size? See find your finger size, or buy a ring sizer, whose cost is credited toward your ring.
