Ainsley’s inspiration is found in fluid and circular dynamics in nature. Her appreciation of the distinct elegant qualities of gold, the brilliance of sparkling diamonds and the radiance of colourful semi-precious gemstones has led to the creation of her many beautiful designer pieces.

 

Favouring fine filigree and softly textured finishes to her chic modern designs, Ainsley’s signature handcrafted pieces can be customised to suit individual desires. Ainsley’s passion is making unique handcrafted engagement and wedding rings, and creating one off pieces that become a part of her client’s story and everyday lives. “Seeing the joy on my client’s faces and bringing their visions to reality is the best part of what I do.

“Knowing that the jewellery I create can be passed down through generations is a wonderful feeling”

Ainsley’s love of gold and gemstones lead her into studying Jewellery Design at the Design Centre in Enmore where she received an Associate Diploma of Arts in 1998.

Ainsley then started her training with renowned jeweller Jan Logan of Double Bay, completing her apprenticeship (Certificate III in Jewellery Trade) in 2001. Ainsley furthered her training in completing a certificate IV in Gemmological Studies in 2005.

After working with Jan Logan for 7 years, Ainsley spent 6 months working as a diamond grader after completing a course in Practical Diamond Grading in 2006 at the Gemmological Association of Australia.

However, she preferred the creativity of jewellery design and manufacturing and went on to work for acclaimed jeweller Melissa Harris of Double Bay as a manufacturing jeweller.

Ainsley resides in Leura in the beautiful Blue Mountains with her husband and two young sons, working from her boutique studio where she is surrounded by endless design inspiration.
