Australian PSers – recommendations for jeweller

[apk]

Hello PSers!

I’m looking for recommendations for a jeweller in Australia who can make a pair of drop earrings using diamonds and pearls that I have already purchased.

I would like to work with a jeweller who specialises in making handmade jewellery in platinum with delicate pave and milgrain details. I’m happy to pay more to get the best possible quality.

I live in Melbourne but I don’t mind having the earrings made in Sydney or elsewhere in Australia.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I've met Garry Holloway.
He has two locations in Melbourne.
He has an excellent reputation.

I live in Europe and have worked with Australian designer Alistair Kelsey several times. He has a website and is active on Facebook: Alistair Kelsey Jewellery.

Examples of his work:

Hi OP,

I recently had a diamond pendant made with Australian Diamond Network - they post on here under the screen name ADN. I've written a glowing review in the SMTB section (search 0.4ct bezel pendant, and it should come up), and cannot speak highly enough about Wade and his team - he listened to what I wanted, gave me more options than I could hope for, and was extremely well priced. I would strongly recommend dropping them a line. Very happy customer here!

Thanks,
Adele

I also have a ring made by AK and it's one of my all time favorites. He is a true artist and what he does with metal and design is extremely impressive. He's also very kind and quick to respond to customers. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Someone like Rutherfords in Melbourne stocks Singlestone settings;

I've heard they have a couple of bench people that do fine pave but they are not cheap...

I recommend Erok designs (Australian jewellery designers). They exclusively designed for you at reasonable rates. I order this eternity ring from them.

No offense but that is poorly cast and really badly done pavework. So unless they are super cheap I'm not sure they are worthy of a recommendation.

I'm having my diamond set with Holloway Diamonds ^_^ getting it in two weeks. The one in the shop was beautiful so I hope mine turns out just like it
