We specialise in designing and manufacturing bespoke hand made jewellery.Callum has been a Gemmologist since 1984 and a registered valuer since 1986.Callum has continued his studies in Diamond grading and Diamond technology and is presently the Treasurer of the  National Council of Jewellery Valuers [Qld]. This association offers ongoing studies in all aspects of gemstone treatments & identification of these treatments. Education has been at the forefront of Callum{s business often stating to clients after some discussions that "there{s no point getting out of bed each day if you can{t learn something new".We have an onsite workshop for manufacturing jewellery and an up to date laboratory for testing and identification of gemstones and grading of diamonds.Callum sits with his clients and individually designs the piece of jewellery and then our master jeweller will carry on our tradition of hand making the piece.On site valuations are done by appointment whilst the client waits. These are done in the same manner that we have done for the past 30 years.
