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 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. =)2

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.
