THE PROCESS OF FINDING THE RIGHT GEMSTONE

1. The Initial Consultation

The gemstone sourcing process begins at the initial consultation where we create a bespoke design and discuss various gemstone options. The gemstone colour, shape and overall budget is determined to assist and guide our team when sourcing the perfect stone.

2. Finding the right stone

Our team search for the finest gemstones from our trusted network of international suppliers to find the perfect gemstones that suit the design vision. We handpick unique stones of the highest quality and consult with the client before making the final selection.

3. Refining the design

When the gemstone has been chosen the original design concept is refined and other elements such as additional stones, metal and intricate details are confirmed. A 3D model is created to try on and make any slight adjustments prior to production.

4. Crafting your piece

Our team of experienced jewellers and diamond setters begin crafting the bespoke gemstone piece. After 4-6 weeks, a custom, handcrafted piece of jewellery will be ready to be worn and enjoyed for generations to come.
