Custom Handmade Jewellery Kiama & South Coast NSW
Coloured gemstone specialists creating bespoke pieces for discerning clients across the South Coast, Sydney and Canberra.
Welcome to Sara Handmade Jewellery — where exquisite design meets over 20 years of expert craftsmanship. Based in Kiama on the NSW South Coast, we specialise in custom handmade jewellery, bespoke engagement rings, and the remodelling of heirloom pieces for clients across the South Coast, Wollongong, Sydney, the Southern Highlands, and Canberra. Every piece we create is a genuine collaboration. You work directly with Sara — a qualified gemmologist and designer — from your first consultation through to the day you hold your finished jewellery.
Bespoke Jewellery Services
Whether you're celebrating a milestone, honouring a memory, or simply treating yourself to something extraordinary — we have a service designed for you.
Custom Made Jewellery
Bring your vision to life with a bespoke piece designed exclusively for you. From meaningful necklaces and statement bangles to intricate dress rings, we guide you through every step of the design process — from your first sketch to the moment you try it on for the first time.
Jewellery Remodelling
Transform your unworn or inherited jewellery into something new and beautiful. We preserve the sentimental value of your pieces while reimagining them entirely — sustainably repurposing your gold and gemstones into a design you'll reach for every day.
Engagement Rings
Design an engagement ring as unique as your love story. Choose from GIA-certified diamonds, rare Australian sapphires, vibrant tourmalines, and other exceptional coloured gemstones. We are the South Coast's leading specialists in bespoke engagement rings — from classic diamond solitaires to non-traditional coloured stone designs.
Repairs & Restoration
Restore your treasured pieces to their original beauty with our expert repair and restoration service. From worn settings and missing stones to broken chains and antique restoration, our skilled artisans handle every repair with precision and genuine care.
