"It encapsulated the journey we had been on together, and was a symbol of our strength, determination, and our love for Papatūānuku - mother earth."
'While at the appointment Madeline saw a ring that she fell in love with and we came to a decision to go with that one."
"They are just so magical and unique, and I loved how they seemed to capture the ocean inside them."
"The result was something stunning, classic, and so unlike anything I had ever seen! It’s truly one of a kind."
"You can have something completely different in mind, and then you see the right one, and you just know!"
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.
