The Deltora Diamond Difference

Our mission is to make luxury diamond jewellery accessible to EVERYONE. This is reflected in our creation of collections using sustainably sourced gemstones and diamonds (lab-grown and natural), and solid gold.

Handcrafted in our Sydney workshop, our jewellery is made with dedication and commitment to quality, and expert design.

Because you shouldn't have to choose between quality and conscience.

Our Diamonds don't cost the EARTH.

Founder & CEO

"I’ve always loved diamonds—as a kid I dressed up in mum’s pieces and pretended I had a glamorous job and even better tennis serve.

Decades into working in media and marketing in the female lifestyle space, I had unfinished business with jewellery. After studying at the De Beers Institute and London’s Gem Academy, I founded Deltora Diamonds with the mission of making diamond jewellery accessible to all women regardless of bank balance.

Ask me at a party what I do, and I’ll say I’m an internationally qualified expert who personally sources the world’s best diamonds on demand. As a mother of four, I love that our practices are sustainable and ethical.

And I love that Deltora’s brand integrity is the things I value most in life: authenticity, superior quality,  exceptional service, deliverability. We rock."

Our Process

We believe that designing your “lifetime” ring or custom piece should be as easy as it is enjoyable. Our bespoke process ensures that each step is seamless and most of all an exceptional experience - the way it should be.

To ensure this, you will be introduced to your personal diamond concierge as soon as you get in contact who will be working alongside you throughout your journey with Deltora.

Step 1

Explore Your Options

At your initial consultation we ask a ton of questions and get to understand your lifestyle, budget and vision.


Your ring has to fit with how you live, look, work and feel. Then we workshop ideas, try on settings and get laser-focused on what really speaks to your heart.

Step 2

Personal Diamond Curation

Unlike a typical jeweller, that will show you a computer generated list of diamonds, we utilise our network of diamond growers in order to present you with a personalised diamond curation stringently assessed by our experts.

We will present you with video, images and live footage from the grower or if the diamond is with us in studio you can view it personally.

Step 3

Handcrafted Just For You

Your ring is one of a kind, each piece is custom made and handcrafted by our master bench-jewellers.

Your Deltora Concierge will provide you with an initial 3D CAD drawing bringing your design to life and then will oversee the making of your piece, ensuring the highest quality of design and production.

Step 4

Time To Pop The Question

In as little as 3 weeks your ring is with you. We deliver straight to you by secure courier or you can visit us in studio to pick up personally.

Then it's over to you!
