Old Gold, New Story

There's something truly special about creating a piece that carries family history into a new generation. ✨

This stunning ring was designed as a gift from a mother to her daughter - a way to pass on a legacy while making it perfectly suited to the next chapter.

If you're looking closely at the before-and-after photos, you might be wondering…
"Wait, the original rings were yellow gold - how did we end up here with white gold?"

Well, that's where the magic happens!

The sentimental value in this project wasn't about the gold itself - it was all about the diamonds. We carefully removed the stones from two family heirloom rings, preserving their beauty and story, and reset them into a new design made from white gold (our client’s daughter's preferred metal).

We even incorporated some of the original white gold from one of the heirlooms, then returned the yellow gold portion to our client for a future project. Nothing lost - just transformed. 💫

The end result?

A sparkling new treasure that honours the past, suits the present, and will one day become its own heirloom for the future. 💍

Falling for Green

You know, I never used to like the colour green…
Then one day, someone told me I had green eyes.
I laughed and said, "Nope, they're brown."

But curiosity got the better of me, so I had a proper look - and to my surprise, my eyes are actually more green than brown!

All my life, I'd thought they were brown. Goes to show, sometimes we don't see what's been there all along.

So, maybe it's no coincidence that green has started to grow on me (though I still can't say the same for my birthstone—sorry, peridot lovers 😅).

But green sapphires? Now that's a different story!

Take this stunning ring, for example. A perfect mix of greens that blend together like nature's own palette, with just a touch of blue (my personal favourite colour) and, of course, the timeless sparkle of diamonds.

This piece came together using a bunch of our client's old jewellery. She wanted to bring them all together in one beautiful design - something sentimental, but not overly traditional.

I sketched up a few ideas, and she almost fell in love with one. A few little tweaks later… and we both knew we'd found the one.

The end result?

A one-of-a-kind ring that’s full of personality, history, and a newfound appreciation for green. 💚

A Night to Celebrate Business in the Redlands

Saturday night was all about celebrating local brilliance at the Redlands Chamber Business Awards - and what a night it was! ✨
We were honoured to be named a finalist in the Creative Industries category, standing alongside some truly talented and passionate businesses who make our community such a vibrant and inspiring place.

While Jewellers Vault didn't take home the trophy this year, we couldn't be prouder to be recognised among so many incredible creatives who share the same love of craftsmanship, innovation, and storytelling through their work.

The evening itself sparkled — from the stunning centrepieces on the tables to the even more dazzling smiles all around. Naturally, we couldn't resist wearing a few of our own handmade pieces to mark the occasion - a little reminder of why we love what we do. 💍

A huge congratulations to all of the winners, finalists, and entrants across every category. You are what makes the Redlands business community shine.

Here's to another year of creativity, collaboration, and community spirit - and to continuing to create pieces that make you feel like a winner every day. 🥂
