Corky Saint Clair specialises in bespoke rings using Australian Sapphires and ethically sourced gems.
We are associated with a contemporary aesthetic that mixes classic design elements with a modern sensibility and a focus on ease of wear.
We have a gorgeous studio in the iconic Century Building, right in the heart of the CBD. Our studio is the perfect place for a face to face consultation to build your engagement ring. (We can also build remotely, having built rings for people all over the world).
Our small award winning team will give you expert, personal service from your initial ring consult through to project hand over.
Bring all of your ideas for us to build your dream ring.
We also have a collection of
Ready To Wear jewellery.
These pieces can be purchased online or viewed at our showroom by appointment.

A labour of love
A fair amount of lateral thinking was used to mount Jasmine’s incredible 11 carat Smokey Quartz, (cut by a family member). We built an Art Deco cage of solid gold to protect the quartz and showcase its intricate beauty.
This dazzling pendulum style pendant is both stylish and wearable. More importantly, it allows Jasmine to carry a piece of her personal history with her. Jasmine was an amazing client and we loved working on this project with her.

Ethical Production
We have a large collection of Australian Sapphires. We work with local cutters and fossickers to find Australian gems that are as beautiful as they are durable.
Buying locally ensures the the chain of provenance is short and that we have more control over the quality of our materials.
(We have other Aussie gems such as Zircons, Garnet and Topaz.)
Ethically sourced diamonds
We use ethically sourced diamonds.
We have a collection of Australian diamonds from the famed Argyle Mine in Western Australia.
We are also drawn to salt and pepper diamonds, rough cut diamonds, macle diamonds and other non traditional specimens from the diamond family.
Our salt and pepper diamonds are the finest in Melbourne. They are sourced from India and precision cut in Antwerp.
All of our white diamonds comply with the Kimberley Process.
Recycled Metals
At Corky Saint Clair all of our jewellery is fabricated using 100% recycled metals.
Our metal supplier, Lenrose Pty Ltd is committed to the highest sustainability guidelines to ensure our materials are 100% environmentally and ethically responsible.
Gold and sterling silver that have been recycled are identical in color and molecular composition as mined metals.
The raw metal has been refined from non-mined sources such as reclaimed jewelry, coins and old silverware.
