The Cut Experience
Whether we’re helping someone mark a milestone, express a sentiment or reimagine a cherished heirloom piece, collaboration is at the centre of all that we do.
step one
Your Private Consultation
We begin with a one-on-one appointment, either in person or virtually to uncover your story, style, and budget. This is where your bespoke journey begins.
step two
Stones & Design Direction
With deep industry insight, we guide you through selecting your perfect stone whether a natural diamond, lab-grown alternative, or vibrant coloured gemstone. Together with our Head Designer, we shape the design direction of your piece. Stones we source come with independent certification and a unique laser inscription on the girdle ensuring the stone is the one described.
step three
CAD Design Approval
Once your selections are finalised, a 30% deposit (dependent on selected stone) secures your unique stone and custom design. You'll receive a lifelike CAD drawing of your piece, featuring your chosen stones for review and approval before we begin crafting.
step four
Crafted in Our Sydney Studio
Once approved, your piece is meticulously handcrafted in our Sydney studio with exceptional care, attention to detail, and the highest quality standards lead by our Head Jeweller.
step five
The Finishing Touches
Every piece undergoes a meticulous final inspection before being thoughtfully packaged and presented with a certificate of authenticity. The full bespoke process typically takes 4 - 6 weeks. If you have a specific deadline, please let us know we’ll always do our best to accommodate your timeline.
step six
The Signature Handover
Seeing the joy on our clients faces is the most rewarding part of the process. Once your custom piece is complete, it’s time to be united with your creation. You’re welcome to collect it from our Paddington or CBD showroom, or we can arrange secure delivery worldwide.
