The romance of diamonds
To coincide with our Dear Diamond exhibition, we paid a visit to the shared studio space of Melbourne jewellers Karla Way, Kim Victoria and Fiona Simmons.
Inspired by tradition and yet choosing to eschew it, they spoke to us of the romance they associate with diamonds, giving us a sneak peek at their design and making process.
As a marker of significant moments in time, a declaration of love and commitment, or the creation of a family heirloom to be passed amongst generations, these artists explore the varied scope of this enduring gemstone. Anchored by ideas of romance, their handcrafted jewellery chooses to celebrate joy, and we are so thrilled to include their golden rings in our luxury diamond showcase.
A big thanks to the artists for generously sharing their time, and to our filmmaker George Katsalidis
