Our Story

Gathered, like a bowerbird’s nest

There is a bird that builds its home from beautiful things — blue petals, pale shells, anything that catches the light. In a small way, I do the same.

I collect sterling silver that holds a cool, clear shine, and laboratory-grown stones in the colours of a deep forest. Then I set them, slowly, into pieces that are meant to be worn — and kept.

The Materials

Sterling silver

The quiet light of the collection — cool, honest, and made to be worn every day.

Laboratory-grown stones

Ruby, sapphire, padparadscha and emerald — grown, not mined, and the same minerals as their mined counterparts.

Rhodium or 18K gold

A surface layer over 925 sterling silver. Sweat-tested by our supplier, with free re-plating within two years. As with any plated finish, how long it lasts depends on how it is worn.

Handmade

finished by hand, one piece at a time

Curated, not consumed

small, considered collections

Made to be kept

jewellery to outlive the seasons

The Bench

Handmade, stone by stone

Each ring begins with a loose stone, chosen by hand — then set, polished and finished at the bench. This is one sapphire ring being made, from the loose stone to the finished piece.

The Guide

Laboratory-Grown, Explained

What "laboratory-grown" means, what it does not mean, and how each of our stones is grown and finished — stone by stone, in plain language.

“I do not make jewellery to be consumed. I make it to be kept — the way a bowerbird keeps what it loves: not owned, but chosen.”

The Signature

One name, on every piece

AVAQIN is not a house of many names. It is a single signature — the designer’s own — written on every piece that leaves the bench, and on every piece yet to come.
