Welcome to my
Gemstudio!

My passion for jewellery began as a child after visiting a high jewellery exhibition with my grandmother. When we got home I told my mum I wanted to make crowns for kings and queens. That dream turned into a career.

I trained as a professional gem-cutter in Paris, working for some of the luxury houses that first inspired me. I later moved to Sydney and opened my gem-cutting business in 2002 where I work on a daily basis with many jewellers and designers all over Australia. Wether it is an antique piece in need of some replacement gems or a new and unique piece that needs a custom cut gem or set of matching gems they all get the same care and attention to detail I was trained for.

I began creating jewellery starting with pieces for myself, then for friends, and eventually it grew to a small production to sell at markets.

Today, I use over 35 years of experience to hand-cut gemstones and create elegant, understated jewellery where the gem takes centre stage. Because I can cut each stone myself, I’m not limited to standard shapes or sizes. This gives me the freedom to design custom pieces that are genuinely one of a kind. I only use genuine material (gemstones, pearls, sterling silver and gold) sourced from legitimate suppliers based here in Australia. Whenever possible I use recycled sterling silver and gold (all the bits and pieces left over from production are cleaned, refined then melted to give me fresh new metal!)

Jewellery is personal. It’s something you feel before you wear. I hope my pieces speak to you the way they do to me.
