Turning old into new
Sometimes, engagement rings tell more than the story of a couple. Designed to capture Olivia and Paul’s love of nature, this ring also incorporates the history of a family.

Video: Jewellery and a Melbourne laneway
Take a peek behind the scenes of our very first dedicated jewellery shoot on the streets of Fitzroy, Melbourne. I’ve never been much of a car person, but that took an unexpected twist when we found a beautiful rusty old Kingswood and a shiny new tow truck to use as props!

Welcome to my jewellery gallery

Spot the fishy secret in this engagement ring!
I was watching a casual cricket game at Centennial Park and a friend came up and asked me to design an engagement ring for his girlfriend. The requirements were pretty flexible: It should be in white gold, the stone should be green… oh and “can you put a fish on it?”
