18kw Spinel Ring
Unique rings for any occassion
When we saw this deep, lavender grey spinel, we knew we wanted to set it in 18k Palladium white gold. We love alloying gold with palladium for it's deep gunmetal colour, hypo-allergenic properties & workablity when fabricating. We gave this ring eight talon claws and a custom made Collet setting. The result was a moody, unique ring, substantially crafted, with a rounded shank for maximum comfort. This ring is suitable for everyday wear.

Contemporary Era
(1970 - Now)Plastic became a new medium to fabricate jewellery. Other pieces were often made of other unconventional materials such as plastic or wood. Prioritizing self-expression over traditional styles and materials became the new style. Jewellery of this Era was considered “wearable art”.
As we headed into the 1980s, jewellery styles became even more extravagant and large, such as oversized hoop earrings and necklaces which were worn by women in the office with their “power suits”. With women commonly in the workplace now, purchasing jewellery for oneself became increasingly common.
Costume jewellery truly began to take centre stage during the 80s. Neon plastic jewellery was not unusual to see on the younger members of this era- especially in a large statement earring. Another staple of the 80s was cross jewellery, necklaces being the favourite.
Contemporary jewellery is something that will always be in trend, because its something that is “made in current time”.
