Last week I had the experience of appearing on A Current Affair to share my story and my involvement in the Heart Research Institute’s consumer program.

I’m honoured and so excited to be exhibiting alongside some of Australia’s finest contemporary jewellers for this milestone event by Courtesy of the Artist in just a few weeks!

Every bespoke ring tells a story – and this one in particular holds a deeply personal narrative, woven with memory and intention. In the centre is an Australian diamond, gifted to my client by her parents and sourced from the Kimberley region in Western Australia.

Earlier in the year, Angela came to me with something special – her late mum’s engagement ring. It held so much meaning for her, and I felt really honoured to be asked to help give it new life.

My fascination with Australian sapphires began the moment I discovered them. But it’s not just their palette that draws me in, it’s where they come from, and the people who bring them to light.

Australian Chrysoprase, particularly the stones from the renowned Marlborough mines in Central Queensland, holds a special place in my design work. Known for its gorgeous green colour, this gemstone is one of the rarest and most highly prized varieties of chalcedony.

This time of year, as we think about giving, heart jewellery feels especially thoughtful. It’s more than just a gift; it’s a symbol of love – for a partner, family member, friend, or even yourself. Explore the entire ‘From the Heart’ collection online now.

There’s a certain magic that comes with creating bespoke pieces, and this diamond engagement ring was no exception. For my clients, I designed a ring that celebrates the brilliance of diamonds. The process of making this piece was as intricate as the design itself, requiring careful planning and meticulous attention to detail.

Today, I want to share the story behind the Seagrass Meadow Necklace. This piece features a beautifully arranged cluster of Australian gemstones – Australian sapphires from Queensland, Australian turquoise from the Northern Territory and a single Argyle diamond from Western Australia.

Growing up in a Greek Orthodox family, I’ve always found cross jewellery to feel sacred and familiar. To me, the cross is more than just a religious symbol; it’s a way for people to feel connected to their family and culture.

It was a special day, full of creativity and love, as Nicoletta and I embarked on a heartfelt project together. With her Mum’s birthday just around the corner, four year old Nicoeletta and I decided to make a pair of earrings that would be a beautiful and meaningful surprise.
