How this works
You stay in control. Before manufacturing begins.
Once your order is placed, we don't go straight into manufacturing. The atelier first prepares everything you need to be sure — and nothing is made until you approve it.
A full CAD design
A precise 3D render showing the exact piece we will make for you.
The complete specifications
Stones, metals, sizes, settings and finish — set out clearly so nothing is left to interpretation.
Photographs of the actual stones
And, where useful, short videos — so you see the exact stones we will set, not stock images.
Manufacturing only begins after you have reviewed all of this and confirmed you are happy. Your piece is made on your approval, not before.
Worldwide delivery
Crafted in London. Sent wherever you are.
We work from our atelier in Hatton Garden — but the stones, the metals, the inspiration and the craftsmanship behind each piece can come together from all over the world. In a way, the piece you wear carries a little of the world with it.
Secure, insured delivery
Every order is sent fully insured by carriers we trust, with tracking from the moment your piece leaves the atelier — so you know exactly where it is, every step of the way.
A note on local taxes
For deliveries outside the UK, import duty, customs charges or local VAT may apply at the destination. These are set by the country you're in and are the customer's responsibility — but we'll happily guide you through what to expect, and our delivery partner will help with the formalities so nothing comes as a surprise.
About this piece
This studio-approved pendant is a celebration of animal artistry, sculpted in 18ct yellow gold with refined white gold highlights. At its heart sits a luminous 5.00ct baguette-cut diamond, framed by intricate pavé and channel-set diamonds for a rich, textured effect. Accents of blue sapphire and a distinct 0.40ct emerald-cut emerald introduce vibrant color and dimension, while purple sapphires and rubies lend lifelike character to the elephant’s features. The polished finish and high-contrast precious metals create a dramatic, gallery-worthy presence—an exceptional piece for collectors and those drawn to bold, expressive jewellery. Each detail is thoughtfully considered, with our studio reviewing all specifications before production.

Metals & stones in this piece
Yellow gold, a timeless choice for fine jewellery, is prized for its warm, lustrous hue and remarkable malleability, allowing for intricate designs. Pure gold (24 karat) is too soft for everyday wear, so it is alloyed with metals like copper and zinc to enhance durability, typically resulting in 9 or 18 karat gold. Over time, polished yellow gold develops a soft patina, adding character while maintaining its elegance. White gold, often rhodium-plated for a brilliant finish, offers a cooler, contemporary alternative. It is also alloyed for strength, usually with palladium or nickel, and may require re-plating every few years as the rhodium wears away, revealing the metal’s natural warmth. Diamonds, the hardest known natural material, score a 10 on the Mohs scale, making them exceptionally durable for daily wear. However, their setting may loosen over time, so regular checks are advisable. A polished finish on gold jewellery will gradually show fine scratches, which can be gently buffed by a professional to restore its original shine.
Caring for this piece
To preserve the beauty of your gold and diamond jewellery, clean it regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and dirt. For a deeper clean, soak the piece in warm, soapy water (mild dish soap works well) and gently brush with a soft toothbrush, paying attention to the setting. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth. Store your jewellery separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches, and avoid tossing pieces together. Remove jewellery when engaging in activities that may expose it to harsh chemicals, such as chlorine or household cleaners, as these can dull the finish. For white gold, be mindful that rhodium plating may wear over time, particularly in areas of high friction, so consider professional re-plating when needed. Lastly, have your jewellery inspected by a trusted jeweller annually to ensure settings remain secure.
