We source gemstones primarily from Sri Lanka through a network of suppliers and gemstone miners. We focus on responsible sourcing.

To do this, with each of our suppliers, we ask questions to understand their background, how long they have been in the trade and how their stones are sourced. We certify all of our valuable coloured gemstones. We pay a fair price to acquire high quality gemstones.

In Sri Lanka, most of the mining of sapphires is done sustainably using low impact, underground mines that provide jobs and livelihood to large rural communities.

Some of our gemstones originate from Africa and Asia, sourced by our vetted suppliers in Sri Lanka.

Yes we can! We would be honoured to help you create your one of a kind engagement ring with our coloured stones.

Regardless of whether you know what you want, or if you do not know where to start, we can help. We have been through the process ourselves.

We understand that the importance of creating a beautiful and timeless ring that symbolises the uniqueness of your love. And that can be handed down through generations. Each coloured gemstone is unique with its own characteristics so that no two ring will ever be the same.

Please read our 'Bespoke Design' page for more details of our process.

Our jewellery is designed by us and made both in Australia and overseas by skilled artisans.

Many of our jewellery pieces are loving crafted by hand by skilled and experienced artisans. They are unique, reflecting individual styles of our artisans.

We recommend that you get in touch with us to confirm whether a ring can be resized before ordering. Please indicate your size in your enquiry (inner diameter size in mm). Our ring size guide provides a guide to standard sizes.

We generally can resize one size up or down.

However, in some instances, we may choose to not resize as this may affect the structural integrity of our rings. In addition, there may be factors beyond our control (e.g. lockdowns, etc.).

If we confirm that a ring can be resized, please allow for an additional 7-14 days for your order to be shipped. First ring re-sizing is provided free of charge.

We provide free, expedited, tracked and insured shipping on all of our orders through Australia Post.

If your gemstone or jewellery is available and does not require any resizing, your order should be shipped within 3 business days. If your jewellery or ring requires resizing, please give us an additional 7-14 business days.  

For custom orders, please note that shipping timelines vary depending on specific orders. Please reach our section on 'Bespoke Design' and contact us to discuss further. 

Please note that there are currently major delays in delivery due to the global pandemic. Unfortunately, this is outside our control. Nevertheless, all of our shipments are insured and tracked to give you peace of mind.
