Hidden Gem dinners have been a true source of joy for me, connecting with others around a table creatively laid, with a meaningful hand-crafted adornment baked into the bread! I will be designing a ring, collaborating with local chef Shannon Smith and baker Cat Cox to throw a dinner party with one extra lucky attendee.

Inspiration from the natural world is an integral part of my arts practice. Working with materials that come from the earth creates dedication within me to contribute to healthy ecosystems. It's been important throughout our development as a studio to honor that responsibility in each stage of our in-house manufacturing.

Keith has been cutting stones for us since the inception of Dillon Rose - he is an internationally known opal cutter but also facets sapphires, garnets and emeralds for us. The opportunity to sift gravel and unearth these precious stones with him was a delight. For...

I designed this radiant diamond pendant to celebrate a couple's 10th wedding anniversary. I work to include elements in custom jewelry that will be significant to the wearer, infusing pieces with meaning through the design.

Birthstones, two sapphires and an opal, pay tribute to three children.  Typically we send a 3D rendering digitally to clients so they can verify they like the structure of the design, but that can be difficult when those images are still 2D! We are always happy to...
