Wow! I've worn this ring for a week now and everyone compliments on it. It is simply perfect (heirloom quality). I can't rave enough about it. Plus the ring's got some really cool symbology. Thanks RareEarthds!

Just a quick note to say that I am extremely happy with the re-design that you came up with of my uncles pinky ring. You were all very easy to talk to, professional with a personal touch that you do not get from the larger companies. I would highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for something that is unique. Tony R

"My wife lost her engagement ring and was understandably distraught. We wanted to replace it with a special ring & I was struggling to come up with something meaningful. I dreaded a "set piece" type of giving, all form and no substance.
When we walked into Rare Earth we were "introduced" to may different stones of all types and prices. I say introduced because it was very personal and my dull appreciation was enlightened. When Jennifer told us about how they sourced their stones and gave us a particular story about an unusually shaped yet affordable sapphire, a sapphire which seemed endless through one particular facet, appreciation turned to enthusiasm. It was with some regret they sold it to us, the exchange was more like that of a puppy going to a good home. Having decided on the stone we had a thoroughly enjoyable time being guided by an expert designer and artist for the setting. For an innocent like me it was pleasure to have the sense of what we wanted respected and transformed into a unique piece. We were on the verge of buying a ready made ring from a jewellery shop. |
What we did with Jennifer & family was a completely different experience (a completely different ongoing experience as we visit them for checking and cleaning). It was much, much richer - and just as affordable as "set piece" shopping." Genuinely Neil

Accurately reflects my experience of dealing with Rare Earth
Having lusted after some beautiful pearls as a gift for my wife in their showroom, I took a chance and dealt with Rare Earth later from Townsville 3000 km away. The service was impeccable and prompt, the quality was better than I recalled in the display case and payment was made flawless and stress free for me. A perfect result for a beautiful string of pearls which my wife absolutely loves. Just brilliant! Keith S |

This is a family run business. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
They have lovely pieces of jewellery, or you can design you own. Vicky P |

Thank you Jennifer for the unique design of my ring. I have become very left handed and as excited as a newly engaged girl. The craftsmanship is beautiful. The moonstone has a soft glow and is enhanced by the satin finish of the surrounding silver.
The saying " a thing of beauty is a joy forever" is certainly true. I wish such pleasure on all who enter your life. Mavis G. |

You interpreted exactly what I wanted and
produced a beautiful ring. I can’t stop staring at it. Julie N

The ring is beautiful -- just as pictured, with the hydrothermal emerald. The detail on it is amazing, and it just feels good to slide it on my finger. I originally planned to wear it on my ring finger, but ended up liking how it looks on my index finger better. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
Also, it shipped within the time frame they gave, and it came in a nice black box.

I bought this as an engagement ring for my partner. It is truly a work of art, from the forming of the snakes to the beautiful lab-grown emerald... I cried when I opened the box. We're proposing in the spring but I was concerned that a ring made by hand in another country would take months so I ordered it early. This arrived within 6 weeks in a gorgeous box I didn't expect. I can't wait to see his face, thank you thank you thank you

An absolute work of art. Could not be happier with my ring. The craftsmanship is spectacular and the handmade nature makes it far superior than anything I have ever owned before. Truly amazing.

These guys are amazing!!
They did a large amount of research to make me a custom ring based off of the small amount of info I was able to give them.
I was kept updated on the progress of them making it, and I absolutely love it!
Highly recommend them.

I cannot praise these artists and this shop enough. I am blown away by the detail and care that the piece I received. It's so beautiful and well made. Do not hesitate to order from this shop! The quality is unbelievable, and you will absolutely love anything from this shop. I'm so happy! The ring of Barahir was a gift for my boyfriend, and he was speechless. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Rare Earth Design Studio did an absolutely spectacular job at making my engagement ring. They made the process easy and were exceptionally helpful throughout the whole process.
My fiancé took his mother’s engagement ring in to Bert and Jen as we and his mother wanted to use the family diamond in my engagement ring. They assisted us to pick a design and then sourced the rose gold.
They were incredibly helpful with the sizing too, they allowed us to come in for an additional appointment just to double check!
It was a completely stress free process and I can’t find the words or the pictures to do the final product justice; it is beyond stunning. We simply can’t recommend them enough and will be heading back shortly to get our wedding rings made.

Absolutely the best result in designing and making a one off ring. So fantastic that the end result can be so much better than you ever imagined. No hesitation in recommending Jen and Burt to make your special piece of jewellery.

Rare Earth Design Studio did such a fantastic job at making our engagement rings! They were able to take my ideas and bring them to life, better than I had imagined and being made by close friends makes it that much more special.
Everyone comments on how unique and beautiful my ring is and I love it :)
Having Beth, Burt and Jenny make our rings was such an easy experience from start to finish, their professionalism and knowledge makes it so, and can’t wait to sit with them again when it comes time to do our wedding bands.

Best jewellers on the coast . I have had jewellery designed and made , old jewellery repaired and my husband purchased a beautifully unique amethyst necklace for our anniversary from Rare Earth Design Studio. They can do it all and do it brilliantly.

My husband sat with Beth to explain his vision for my bespoke engagement ring and she made it a reality. I could never have even imagined how beautiful and perfect this engagement ring is until it became mine.
We sat with Beth and Bert to design our wedding bands, and once again came away with something individual and special that represented us.
We could not fault any part of the process from design to execution. We wear our rings with pride and constantly get comments on how beautiful they are, how much the diamonds sparkle, and how you would never find anything like our rings on the shelf of a run of the mill chain jewellery store.
When you are making the one purchase that will not be replaced for the rest of your life, you want it to high quality, special, meaningful and individual to you. This is exactly what we got from Rare Earth DS. We cannot thank you enough.

What an amazing experience we had with Beth, Burt and Jennifer at Rare Earth! We are from Sydney and came up the coast to have our wedding bands made. At the same time, I had my engagement ring tidied up after a really amateur job was done on a remodel. I was so impressed with this family- run business. Burt called me up to confirm my design and we discussed pictures and settings to ensure we were on the same page. I felt confident from the beginning that we were getting a quality product and that real experience and expertise was applied to our rings. Every part of our interactions was professional and warm, and I loved how I was always given options in terms of price to ensure my budget wasn't blown. I already know I'll be back to use Rare Earth next time I want something custom- made!

The team at Rare Earth designed and made me a beautiful ring from a piece I had inherited from my mother. I now have a beautifully crafted, unique ring that still holds great sentimental value.

Rare Earth Design Studio is a jewellery design studio par excellence -- a rare gem of a creative hub on the Central Coast NSW. The design studio offers a delightful array of unique, expertly handcrafted jewellery pieces designed by leading-edge Australian MasterJewelers. The pieces on display in the showroom suit an array of contemporary styles, tastes and budgets. Additionally, the Rare Earth team offer first-rate specialist jewellery design and repair services. I have had the pleasure of showcasing Burt Muller's Centenary of Gallipoli wearables - ring and necklace - a special commission to mark the Centenary of the Allied Campaign at Gallipoli [2015] for the touring art exhibition 'Contemporary Gallipoli', sponsored by Macquarie University Art Gallery Sydney. These evocative contemporary wearable expressions continue to be appreciated by audiences nationally, and until late 2018.
