Juliet
With a background in art and design, Juliet fell into the jewellery world through exploring the art during university. Spending her childhood across England and Australia, the time spent between the two landscapes has informed Juliet’s organic, sinuous design style.

Pamela Love | Symbolism
Juliet is inspired by the designs created by Pamela Love, particularly by her use of colourful gemstones. Love’s designs are influenced by all things mystic, astronomy, astrology, and alchemy. Her work lays roots in early American and Mexican silver traditions. The brand began with the designer working straight out of her apartment in Brooklyn, New York.
“Love’s enchanting designs are steeped in American folklore and symbolism, with references to nature incorporated in all of her pieces. I love her raw aesthetic, and use of semi-precious stones and materials.” – Juliet
Mirit Weinstock | Eclecticism
The Isreali artist and designer Mirit Weinstock uses innovative materials in her jewellery designs, finding inspiration in Japanese art and fashion. Her love of trinkets, materials and souvenirs informs her work and allows her to create poetic, feminine jewellery.
“I love the influence that nature has on Weinstock’s designs. She uses bold bursts of colour and creates fun statement pieces. Her work is expressive, yet she doesn’t take herself too seriously!” – Juliet

Art Nouveau
Art Nouveau flourished between 1890 and 1910, as a direct reaction against the historicism of 19th century architecture and design. Inspired by natural forms, Art Nouveau incorporated the curves and flow of plants and flowers, to create a sense of organic dynamism and movement. The evolution’s style is also characterised by the use of innovative materials for the time, such as iron, glass, ceramic and concrete in objects.
“I love the influence of nature in this design era and the use of colour in Art Nouveau. It’s a vibrant design period and I enjoy how lines flow through all aspects of the objects. The design period was obsessed with detail–nothing was overlooked. The smallest aspects of any design were thought through and no corners were cut to produce a beautiful product of the highest quality. The closer you look to the art of that time, the more you see.” – Juliet
Juliet's favourite design
Every ring we craft tells a story. Each of our incredibly talented design consultants are tasked with weaving this story into a fully-realised design, subtly imparting their flair and skill along the way. While each ring is designed with the utmost care and thought, our design consultants do have their favourites…
“I love the elements of nature in this engagement ring. The radiant cut padparadscha sapphire is offset with custom cut emeralds, shaped as leaves. The rose gold complements the colours of the gemstones. Our customer knew that his partner was a nature lover, so it was important to capture that detail in a bespoke engagement ring. I find fulfillment in knowing that an engagement ring can be enjoyed for their lifetime and maintain sentimentality. In some engagement rings, this can be achieved with a subtle tweak to a design, in others it is a ring that is strikingly unique.” – Juliet
An expert in gemology, Juliet’s knowledge ensures that each engagement ring she designs is created with technical expertise, thought and imagination. Juliet will work tirelessly to create a perfect engagement ring, with her passion for jewellery always shining through.
