The Diamond Stack 2020
These two are the definition of made for each other. The claws of the wedding ring, underneath, wears her own full set diamond wedding ring. Whilst...the engagement ring on top wears her own huge diamond engagement ring stacked with an extra diamond baguette ring too. Beautiful pieces standing alone, but when they come together, the create the finished design. Two pigeon claws holding the finger from each side, his and hers, in a delicate embrace. For Daniel and Sev

Carla's "I'm Sorry I Got Caught" Ring 2020
Carla's ex got caught doing the dirty and he bought her an "I'm sorry" ring. She dumped his ass and had the diamond and ruby ring of regret kicking...about at the bottom of a draw, until now. We decided to give her a new lease of life, the pigeon wears the rings and Carla wears the claws!! You're a bad ass babe, we love you Carla!

The Lightning Ridge Opal
When times were tough Rachael’s Pop’s would go up to Lightning Ridge with his mate hoping to make some money. They would climb down into a disused...opal mine looking for treasures. Her Nana didn’t like it, it is insanely dangerous to climb into a disused mine. Gives me shivers just to think about it. But, in the garage Pops had a bucket of the magical rocks that he found on these adventures. As a child Rachael would look through these rocks and listen to her Pop’s stories.
Rachael gave me the honour of creating a ring with one of these very rare rough Australian opals to remember the character of her beloved Pops.

Alex's Dead Lovers Hair Brooch 2019
Held safely within this piece is the hair of Alex's dead lover. Inside the specially designed and hand-cut rose quartz heart, light reflects off the...rose gold back plate and through the soft lines of his brown hair. Solid silver claws hold the piece together with the arms twisting into antique, ornate ends subtly echoing wings either side. From the bottom of the piece hangs a single garnet teardrop for bloodshed. The back of this piece is as much work as the front. From the engraved back plate to the handmade bespoke pin mechanism. Every single element of this is in honour of the story it tells.

Big, Bad and Baroque 2020
There is something grotesquely beautiful about these luscious squishy looking hard pearls that hits that ugly/pretty sweet spot. This impossible rose...coloured baroque is incased by a gold cage of claws and filigree in a matching shade of rose.

Gina's Grandad's Coin Collection 2020
Gina had a small handful of coins that her Grandad collected during his travels. They are set into specially made claws securely holding each...momento. In the centre hangs a Chilean 'Libertad' 10 pesos from 1978. Then from right to left is a New York City transit token, 1 Hong Kong Dollar 1979 with Queen Elizabeth on the back, 10 Yen from Japan and 25 Sentimos from the Philippines 1970. The last claw is wearing a tiny diamond pinky ring just like Gina's Grandad used to.

Leesa's Daughter's Ashes 2020
No parent should ever have to go through this. It was an honour to create a piece to help you carry your daughter with you Leesa. The vintage...filigree locket was chosen for sentimental reasons and I safely contained her daughters ashes inside the compartment. Held tight in these solid gold claws forever. I have no words, and sometimes, that is what jewellery is for.

Cushions and Cognac 2019
My biggest diamond ring to date, with no competition. Brendan commissioned this showstopper for his love, Luca, to seal the deal. A huge, antique...cushion cut, 2.85ct diamond is supported by a pair of the richest, shield cognac diamond shoulders. The perfectly imperfect centre with her interesting inclusions, bright white colour, contrasted with the precision cut shoulders.

Secret Hearts 2019
Set safely underneath this huge, oval, smokey quartz is two secret diamond hearts. One white and one black, viewed through window facets specially...cut into the stone. The ring is worn either way to enjoy the flash of whichever heart you're feeling that day.

Suzanne's Apricot Tourmaline Heart 2019
This piece for me, is not a ring, but a miniature sculpture. A juicy apricot heart is held within five gold claws, but the real magic lies in the...asymmetric teardrops that support the stone. Set into each handmade rose gold bezel and holding either a pigeon blood, Burmese ruby or a green tourmaline, is a teardrop. Playing with the angles that we view and appreciate jewellery from, the stories they tell, and the significance a shape can hold, this piece, for me, pushes the boundaries of what jewellery is.
