M A N Y wonderful people ask me if I can make them a ring ‘just like that one’ yes, you know the one 🙏🏼✨ and the answer is well, as politely as I can say this… No, no I can’t!

You see, I’m a creative, not a photocopier and stone size will change the proportions of the ‘inspiration pics’ you send me just as much as your budget will 💰

These beauties are made of gold, platinum and years of expertise and they’ll be around for many years, long after we’re all gone 🥹

A non identical twin or a sibling, now you’re talking though 💯♥️ and for that, other designers may come for us about something being a copy, but inspiration comes from everywhere and just as I’m looking at blow your mind pieces made by Suzanne Belperron in the 1940’s, you might be looking at the toi et moi engagement ring Napoleon famously gave to Josephine.

So don’t panic, take some deep breaths, I’ve got you babetown, really I do 🫶🏼

Please n e v e r stop sending me random pictures of the jewellery I’ve made for you out in the wild!

The way it drops in on an average Saturday morning and sparkles like a beam of sunshine right into my HEART 🫶🏼

I probably have them for a few hours to photograph and before delivery and maybe I should change that, you know, keep them for a day or two to break up with them 🥹🥲😢😭

Thank you E for loving your sapphire 💙 and let’s take a minute to appreciate your manicure too 💅

It’s me, hi hello, I’m Kathleen and sparkly is my favourite colour 💍🩵

My love for jewellery started y o u n g and when I was about 9 or 10, my darling Dad knew a wonderful manufacturing jeweller named Ludwig Schmidt, here in the CBD of Sydney 🇦🇺

Fortunately for us girls and our Mum, our Dad was a gift-giver and we’d often meet him in town to visit Ludwig’s ‘office’ which was just on a regular floor in a regular building but also inside a cell block style metal cage.

He had a big swivel chair behind a desk. On the desk though was a perspex biscuit barrel full of gold ring blanks and behind the desk was a safe bigger than a fridge!

It was never overwhelming, we’d spend ages choosing stones for a ring for Mum or a necklace for my sister ~ it was magical 💫

This is why I founded GemShed Designs, these manufacturers are my people and I’ve had connections with them for a long time.

The metal smiths, the setters, the finish applicators, the diamond and gemstone suppliers, all of them, and I keep them close because they mostly prefer to work behind the scenes.

Me on the other hand; I love talking to people, chatting through their style, interpreting their ideas and favourite things and then designing a piece that tells their unique story.

So this is how we work together to create your dream ring, pendant or earrings 🫶🏼

We can meet for a coffee in person or a virtual coffee if you’re not a local. Not having a shop can challenge some people’s norms and I get that, staying non retail simply helps me to keep costs down for you.

Please feel welcome to get in touch via DM or the 🔗 in bio to an enquiry form to start your bespoke jewellery journey with a custom piece.

The Denim Blue Sapphire 💙

Sourced for a lovely client from the Northern Hemisphere with a tough decision to make… choose from the aquamarine colett set ring (ready to wear) or create a new piece in either a dark or mid blue sapphire 😅😱

I’m glad it wasn’t me having to decide!!

The 1.64ct pear brilliant will be set with a pavé halo on an 18K yellow gold band.

In the final edits I’ll be using 2mm brilliant cut diamonds in the halo, the band will have more of a comfort fit to it, instead of the round wire and the white gold will be finished with dark rhodium to achieve an antique aesthetic.

Feels like something a Bridgerton would wear, doesn’t it!? 🫶🏼💎💘
