Custom jewellery

Designed with you

Start with a stone, a sketch, a family piece or a feeling.

How it works

From a conversation to the bench

  1. 01

    A conversation

    In the studio or by video. Bring a stone, a sketch, a family piece or just a feeling.

  2. A finished ring resting on its sketch
    02

    A drawing

    Sketches and renders, refined until the design looks right to you.

  3. The 3D model of a ring before printing
    03

    Photorealistic renders

    Sketching can be a good starting point, but our digital renders take away the worry.

  4. Soldering a ring at the bench

    Made and finished

    Whether fully handmade or cast, we finish everything in our Adelaide workshop. Making usually takes six to eight weeks once you approve the design.

Nothing is made until you approve the design.

Clients

In their words

Thank you so much, utopian creations, especially to Gabrielle, who helped me create a cute sapphire and diamond cluster pendant that is reminiscent of memories of my childhood in Port Lincoln. It is the perfect gift to myself for my 18th birthday! Thank you again, and if I ever want more sapphire jewellery, I'll certainly be coming back!

Brianna Bennett · Adelaide

Had an incredible experience with Jo and the team at UC! I loved that they embraced the unique. My rings were made to perfection in an amazing time, and I was kept up to date every step of the way. Obsessed!

Hannah Kuhlmann · Adelaide

Such a pleasant and amazing team to work with. They have designed our wedding rings for us with no hassle whatsoever. Have communicated efficiently and kept us in the loop about the progression of our rings. And most of all, they have been so welcoming and friendly when we have come in store. I’ve been recommending them to anyone I know. Amazing team and amazing jewellery!

Naomi · Adelaide
Do I need a finished idea?
No. A direction is enough to start.
Can you source the stone?
Yes: diamonds, Australian sapphires and other coloured gemstones.
Can you work with heirloom stones?
Often, yes. We assess each stone first and tell you what it can become.
Can we work together if I’m not in Adelaide?
Yes. We consult by video, send photos and videos of stones, and courier the finished piece, insured.
How long does it take?
Making usually takes six to eight weeks once you approve the design. Design time depends on the piece, so starting early helps.
