Every Piece A Story

'History Class' Signet Rings

Every custom made piece of jewellery has a story. As my client and I discuss the design of a piece, they share that story with me. I believe that connection is the basis of a handmade business like mine. The reason one chooses to work with an artisan over a big box store. To share those stories, connect in recognition of shared experiences and create a piece celebrating that story. My clients appreciate the hand of the artist too.They care about me, my business, what I stand for. Together, with my technical skills and their imaginations, we bring a piece to life. 

Being the sentimental girl that I am, I love being involved in creating meaningful pieces that celebrate milestones, relationships or family. Each of the rings above is a beautiful, sentimental reminder that can be worn everyday in memory and celebration. Handmade and hand engraved using traditional skills, here in Brisbane. Simple and elegant.

Almost every piece of jewellery has a story. Look at the pieces you are wearing now and think about the stories behind them. Perhaps, like my sister, you wear your Great Grandmothers wedding ring? Perhaps your earrings were a birthday gift from someone special to you? Maybe you designed that right hand ring to celebrate an anniversary and there is a special message inside?

Take a moment to share the story of one of your favourite pieces of jewellery in the comments. I would love to hear them. xx

Best Seller for Anniversaries?

History Class Signet Ring

The Signet ring is such a classic item of jewellery and one that transcends so many styles. Its basic design can be reinvented in so many ways. From feminine, understated, minimalist and vintage to modern, bold, and covered in bling, depending upon how it is personalised and what it is paired with.

It really is the perfect canvas for personalisation. Initials, dates, names, crests and symbols can be hand engraved on top or below the plate. While gemstones can be set alone, in pave, or in a pattern. There are so many possibilities to make this handmade ring unique to you and your loved one. It is such a lasting way to express your love and celebrate a milestone.

For all these reasons it has become my best selling anniversary gift!

A Few Of My Favourite Things

History Club Signet Ring

Edith Ring

Left Bank Portrait Artist Studs

These pieces are a few of my favourite things. Not only because I have made myself one of each of these too! But because I have sold many of them and I get to see people wearing them. I love that. I love seeing them on people. It's such a wonderful thing to know that something you made is out in the world, being used and loved and having layers of meaning added to it over the years.

Custom Order - Constellation Signet Ring

My clients come up with great ideas for personalising my designs. This History Class signet ring was a birthday gift for my client's daughter. We chatted over email about how to incorporate the different elements she wanted in to the piece, and together we formed this design. The front of the ring is brush finished and features a hand engraved Scorpio Constellation, set with Diamonds, while the back of the signet ring has been hand engraved with the recipients name. It turned out beautifully and is perfect for everyday wear. 

What a beautiful gift from a Mother to a daughter!

Introducing Monograms

I do believe a laser engraved monogram is the perfect touch for a 'History Class' signet ring! This little darling will soon be travelling to Canberra to honor my twin sister's amazing achievement, as she prepares to submit her Phd. I am so proud of her!

I have added personalised engraving to the listing in my shop. To purchase, add a ring and the engraving to your cart and leave me a note at checkout. I will email you a proof of the monogram before proceeding. And as I am partnering with a local workshop, I am pleased to be able to offer laser engraving inside of rings too. Contact me for a quote.
