A modern classic, defined by timeless grace
The Danae is for someone who wants the light, not the noise. A round brilliant centre sits high in a four claw setting, and the shoulders sweep up to meet it in a river of pavé diamonds. Nothing competes with the centre stone. Everything leads your eye straight to it.
We set the shoulder diamonds by hand so the sparkle carries right through the band instead of stopping at the setting. From above it reads as one unbroken line of light. From the side you can see how much air we’ve left beneath the centre stone, which is what lets it catch light from below as well as above.
You choose the centre diamond yourself. Natural or lab grown, every stone we offer is certified by GIA or IGI, and you’ll see the certificate before you decide.
Your metal
Available in 14ct and 18ct white, yellow or rose gold, and in 950 platinum.
White gold and platinum give you a cool, bright frame. Yellow gold warms the whole ring. Rose gold softens it. Whichever band you choose, we make the setting itself in white gold or platinum, because a white metal steps back against a white diamond and lets the stone do the work.
Designed and hand-finished in our Australian workshop.

Care & warranty
Everyday wear
Your ring is hand-finished for daily wear. Take it off for the gym, contact sports, gardening, and heavy manual work. Diamonds are the hardest natural material but can chip on impact against another diamond or a metal surface. Chlorine from pools accelerates gold's oxidation over years, rinse the ring after swimming.
Cleaning at home
Weekly: warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, a soft toothbrush, and pat dry. Focus on the underside of the centre diamond and behind the setting, where skin oils collect and dull the light return.
Professional maintenance
Every 12 to 18 months at any of our four showrooms. Included in the lifetime warranty at no cost. We ultrasonic-clean, re-tip any worn prongs, polish the band, and inspect the setting under 10x loupe.
Resize policy
Complimentary resize within 60 days of delivery. After 60 days, resizes are $180 within Australia (we cover return shipping both ways). Turnaround is five to seven business days.
Warranty scope
Lifetime warranty covers workmanship, prong integrity, and metal wear. Does not cover accidental damage, loss, theft, or wear from harsh chemicals. Every warranty claim starts with a free inspection at any of our four showrooms or by mail-in.
