Petal Hearts: Where Petals Meet, a Heart Is Formed
Two petals fall together, and for a moment they form a heart. That small, fleeting shape is where the Petal Hearts collection began.
I've always loved that a real heart is never perfectly symmetrical. The ones we hold onto are a little uneven, a little imperfect, and all the more beautiful for it. So every piece in this collection is sculptural and gently asymmetrical, set with pear-cut gemstones that curve like petals and handmade in my Melbourne studio from recycled gold and silver.
The Petal Heart signet
The Petal Heart signet ring is the centrepiece of the collection. Two pear-cut stones rest side by side, each in its own petal, one slightly larger than the other. Together they make a heart that feels balanced rather than perfect, the way two people do.
In yellow gold it's set with two softly glowing lab-grown diamonds, or with a deep red and a rich pink garnet. In sterling silver, choose vivid green lab-grown emeralds or the same pair of garnets, red and pink, love in all its shades.

The Precious Heart signet
The Precious Heart is the Petal Heart's quieter sibling. One petal holds a single pear-shaped gemstone; the other is left brushed and bare. Sparkle and stillness, light and shadow. It's a little love letter, made to be worn close and often.
Choose a soft green peridot, a deep pink rhodolite garnet, a deep blue Australian sapphire, or a vivid green natural emerald, in yellow gold or sterling silver.

Hearts to wear close
The Heartline earrings trace a heart in delicate outline, two petals curving toward each other without quite closing. They're light enough to wear every day, in 9ct gold or sterling silver. The Heartline Necklace carries the same open heart on a larger scale, a promise as much as a statement.

And the Petal Heart Necklace brings the two-stone heart to a pendant: a wine red and a rose pink garnet set side by side on a fine 45cm chain, designed to sit just above your own heart. Available in 9ct yellow gold or sterling silver.
A heart for someone you love
Petal Hearts pieces make meaningful gifts, for a partner, a best friend, a mother or daughter, or for yourself. Many of the gemstones are also birthstones, so you can choose one that belongs to someone you love:
- Garnet for January
- Emerald for May
- Peridot for August
- Sapphire for September
The sterling silver signets start from $390, and the gold pieces are made to last a lifetime, an heirloom in the making.
Handmade, with love
Every Petal Hearts piece is handcrafted in my studio in the Nicholas Building in Melbourne, using recycled gold and silver and ethically sourced gemstones. Because each one is shaped by hand, no two are ever exactly the same, which is exactly the point.
