Colour with intention.
Settings with purpose.
Bring gemstone selection, design and setting requirements into the same conversation.
Start with the stone.
Consider the whole piece.
Colour, shape, dimensions and consistency all affect the finished design. A matched earring pair has different selection requirements from a one-of-a-kind ring.
Discuss the desired appearance, quantities and target cost before committing to the final setting.
A clear material specification.
We discuss diamond and coloured-gemstone requirements as part of the manufacturing brief. Availability, sourcing scope and suitability are confirmed for each project.
- Stone identity, shape, measurements and carat weight.
- Colour and clarity expectations, including matching within a batch.
- Natural or laboratory-grown identity where applicable.
- Known treatments and relevant care considerations.
- Laboratory reports where requested and appropriate to the stone.
Customer-supplied stones.
If you would like to supply stones, ask for a suitability review before dispatch. Agree the inventory, condition record, handling responsibilities and setting terms in writing.
Accurate measurements are particularly important when developing a setting around an existing centre stone. A setting should be planned for the actual stone rather than an assumed standard size.
Design for wear and maintenance.
Prongs, bezels, pavé and other setting styles affect both appearance and the way a piece is maintained. The appropriate approach depends on the stone, the construction and intended use.
Request product-specific care information for the finished collection. Care requirements can vary with stone identity, treatments and the type of setting.
A new collection begins
