A quiet practice
Studio S is a private atelier. Every piece is made for one person, or not at all.
We believe a gemstone is not just an investment. It is a private language. Something worn close to the skin, carried between people, remembered.
A quiet advantage of working privately: without storefronts or markups, the value lives in the piece itself.
Sourced and released
From first conversation to finished piece
| Stage | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stone deposit | 40% of stone price | 10% non-refundable to secure the stone |
| Stone balance | Remaining 60% | Due before making commences |
| Setting | Full quoted price | Due upon final approval, prior to dispatch |
If not certified loose, the finished piece is sent for independent certification before delivery.
Commissions are made to order and cannot be cancelled or refunded once making has commenced. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law remain unaffected.
Understanding the stones that shape a piece
A gemstone is defined by its beauty, rarity, and durability. These are the varieties we work with most — each with its own character, each requiring its own approach.
All colored gemstones are natural — never synthetic. We believe in the character that only geological time can create. Treatments are fully disclosed on professional certificates.
A quiet beginning
Tell us a little. What the piece is for, the feeling you want it to hold, a stone you have in mind, a setting that has stayed with you. We respond personally, within a few days.
