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.
Read the full storyThe Materials
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 Collection
Four ways to begin
Every piece is made to be worn — and kept.
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, behind every piece
AVAQIN is not a house of many names. The pieces in our main collections are designed by the AVAQIN designer. One hand and one standard sit behind everything we make.
