Tania's Bespoke Spinel and Diamond Halo Ring

For Life Flight’s 2023 gala auction, we donated a Bespoke Jewellery Creation Experience valued at more than $10,000. Tania was the generous winning bidder and a long-time supporter of Life Flight. As part of her experience, she enjoyed lunch with our founders Ian and Christine, followed by an exclusive design consultation with Ian.  
 
 
Tania brought in several diamond rings hoping to reuse and remodel the gems and precious metals into a new ring. She selected a breathtaking purple spinel from our vault to be the centre stone in an entirely new design. Ian and Tania, then came up with a gorgeous design – a stunning halo ring. Crafted in 18ct yellow gold and platinum, it showcases the 3.30ct cushion cut purple spinel and is adorned with 8 pear cut diamonds. Four brilliant cut diamonds from Tania’s remodelled rings complete the diamond halo. 
Watch the behind-the-scenes crafting video to see how our master jeweller and setter bring this beautiful design to life.
