In gold, by hand

In gold, by hand

Solid gold pieces, one-of-a-kind, hand-made and hand-set on the Central Coast of NSW. Never reproduced.

Gold jewellery made by hand in Australia — not cast in batches, not imported. Rings and pendants in 9ct through 22ct gold, most set with Australian boulder and crystal opals, sapphires or diamonds, each formed by Natalia in her Central Coast studio. Because the stones are natural and the forming is by hand, nearly every piece is one of a kind.

This is the collection where the gold itself is worked — wavy hand-formed bands, gold-and-silver combinations, and settings built around an individual stone rather than the other way round.

Frequently asked questions

What karat gold do you work in?

From 9ct up to 22ct, depending on the piece — the product page states the karat. Higher karat means more gold and a richer colour; 9ct is the hardest-wearing alloy.

Is each piece really one of a kind?

Nearly all. Settings are built by hand around individual natural stones, and hand-formed bands are never identical twice. Where a design can be repeated — like a classic wedding band — the product page says so.

Are the opals solid?

Yes — solid Australian-mined boulder and crystal opal, never doublets or triplets. A solid opal can be worn normally and does not delaminate with water contact.

Can rings be resized?

It depends on the piece. Plain and classic bands usually can; stone-set and sculptural designs often cannot without risking the setting. The product page notes it where possible — ask before ordering if in doubt.

Do you take commissions?

Yes. Custom work in gold — engagement rings, remodelling inherited stones, one-off designs — starts with a consultation. See the custom design page for how it works.
