Our Story
Our founder began Nolan and Vada after he popped the question with a diamond ring and realised his fiancé was actually after something more unique and vivid to match her style.
Signifying deep emotions & personality, we believe colours represent uniqueness, individuality and the choices we make to lead our own path.
Offering a rare collection of one-of-a-kind centre stones, combined with an exquisite collection of ring designs, we help couples to design their truly one-of-a-kind dream engagement ring.
Built on values of promise and transparency, we will be honoured to handcraft a one-of-a-kind masterpiece for your special occasion.
Speak with our friendly design consultants via video, phone or in person to discuss and explore your design ideas today.
