Kora – inspired by Māori culture, handcrafted in rose & white gold in Brisbane

Priced at approximately $ 11,500 AUD

This beautiful ring made finalist in the hotly contested Emerging Talent section of the Diamond Guild Australia‘s Jewelley Awards 2018. This ring was handcrafted in 18ct gold and was inspired by the Māori Koru. The Koru symbolises new life, growth and peace featuring a central pear shaped diamond set in rose gold with a spiral of brilliant cut diamonds set in white gold. Brock Hodgson, our 8th appentice, entered the competition with the drawing below and once he made finalist he had to make it! We are very proud of his achievement. This dress ring features a 50 point pear shaped diamond F-G VS-SI.

The glamous awards night was organised by Fleur Events. The beautiful Neon models did a wonderful job of displaying the jewellery as there is nothing like seeing the jewellery, as it should be, on a person. The models were dressed by the fabulous Australian fashion desiger, Carla Zampatti. Carla has been a long-time support of Australian jewellery design. The event was held at the beautiful Aerial – Food & Desire in Melbourne. Jessica Rowe was a fabulous compère handling the complex technical descriptions of the jewellery design with ease. My wife, Lisa, sat with her at dinner & really enjoyed her company.

Stephen Dibb

Stephen Dibb Jewellery is based on a dream of creating world-class handmade jewellery for discerning individuals. Today we find ourselves in a world where few of us have the opportunity to own anything that has been uniquely created to reflect who we are. Before starting Stephen Dibb Jewellery, Stephen dreamt of a magical place where skilled craftsmen could meet with clients and provide them with this rare opportunity. After winning the prestigious Australian Jewellery Association Award when he was just 19 years old, Stephen boarded a plane bound for Europe in the pursuit of furthering his training with additional education and work. During this time, Stephen studied at the London Polytechnic Jewellery College and made prestigious Cartier and Asprey-style jewellery. Returning to Australia to fulfill his dream, Stephen started Stephen Dibb Jewellery in 1987. He knew world-class jewellery could be made locally in Brisbane, and today the world of Stephen Dibb Jewellery has grown to encompass three exclusive jewellery studios staffed with an award-winning team of passionate jewellers and designers. Proudly, Stephen Dibb Jewellery is the most awarded jeweller in Queensland. Of all the awards the jewellers have gratefully received, the team is most proud of its five ABIA People’s Choice Awards because they are the voice of the very people they make jewellery for. Inspite of winning many great accolades, the one thing Stephen is most proud of, is having personally trained seven jewellery apprentices and five trainees.
