Handcrafted Beauty

Expert craftsmanship

Adele is an old fashioned, apprenticeship trained, specialised gemstone setter, which involves engineering of sorts; the gemstones have to be held in the ring by moving the metal over the edges of the gems. She has been professionally setting gemstones for over 20 years, delving deep into the art. Adele's unique approach is working with the spaces left behind as much as the coloured gemstones themselves, bringing forth innovative designs never been seen before.
Adele currently works on the wild west coast of the south island, where the abundance of life is of endless inspiration.

Midwinter earrings

  • Earrings

    "Featuring precious gemstones of course, and always natural. Hand set in either solid 9ct gold or solid sterling silver. The earwires are also solid 9ct gold in my gold versions or solid sterling silver in my silver versions."

  • Rings

    "Always solid 9ct gold or solid sterling silver, because I like materials that I can depend on and that don’t need constant repair. Mostly sapphires because they are the hardest wearing next to diamonds, and rings get a hard life. Also garnets and tourmalines, as they are the next in line for hardness. All natural of course."

  • Pendants

    "Natural precious gemstones of all sorts, cleverly set in solid 9ct gold or solid sterling silver. The chains are always solid gold or solid sterling silver. I never use plated anything, I’m a purist like that. I don’t like the idea of plating wearing off to reveal a metal that isn't what the jewellery is intended to look like."
