FAQ

The average time for this is 6-8 weeks, however this can depend on the complexity of the piece requested.

A timeline will be discussed at your first meeting with Laura.

The beauty of precious metals is that they can be recycled again and again, forever.

As you may be aware, we use gold and silver to make electronics, coins, cap teeth and in existing jewellery – all these materials can all be recycled. We work with a foundry who specialise in just this process – precious metal refinement.

They take these materials, melt them down, refining the metal to its purest form, and we are able to purchase it from them directly.

Recycled sterling silver/gold/platinum has the same chemical make up, quality and value as any newly mined gold or silver.

Yes, we work with clients all over the world and pride ourselves on communication.

From emails to video calls, digital sketches and videos of the piece's conception, development, and finalisation.

Each step can be easily communicated and discussed either in person or from afar.

Yes, we will. A request we often get is to melt down existing jewellery to create a new piece.

This can be done, however in order to use the material we need to have it certified and refined.

A discount can be offered in exchange for the material provided.

It’s a fantastic question and one that we are ready to answer.

At the core of Coral Covey is an understanding of our environment and passion for creating sustainable jewellery. We have made it our mission to focus on slow fashion and create items that will last lifetimes and leave a very small ecological footprint.

Here are some of these ways we ensure our workshop is a sustainable one:

  • We work with recycled and refined sterling silver, gold & platinum.
  • We choose to work with conflict-free, heirloom and antique stones.
  • Our packaging only consists of natural materials – recycled paper/sustainable forested woods, cotton ribbon.
  • Our jewellery studio runs on 100% solar power from panels installed on our workshop roof.
  • We donate every month to our 4 chosen charities – see below.
  • We educate our clients on ethical jewellery practice and methodology.

Yes, we can.

We work with a specific group of diamond and precious stone dealers who pride themselves on the highest quality stones from reputable companies with fairly paid workers.

Carat refers to the measurement of weight of the precious stone.

The word ‘carat’ comes from the Greek word for the seed of the carob plant. The average weight of a carob seed is 200 milligrams, or 0.2 grams, which is the measurement still used today for a carat weight of diamond.

Nowadays, we use technology to measure the weight and density of the stones/gold we use, but the measurement remains.

Pure gold and pure silver are very soft materials and they will wear away easily, so jewellers have created a tiered system to combine the gold and silver to other metals. The higher the carat, the more pure the metal.

Although 18-carat is very hard wearing, whereas 9-carat can be brittle. The varied carats have different advantages and disadvantages - it just depends what kind of ring you want. Laura will explain what is possible for your ring during a consultation.

  • 9 carat gold = 37.5% pure gold with 62.5% other materials (either copper, zinc, nickle, silver, palladium or platinum added depending on the colour-rose, yellow or white gold)
  • 14 carat gold = 58.3% pure gold with 41.7% other materials (either copper, zinc, nickle, silver, palladium or platinum added depending on the colour-rose, yellow or white gold)
  • 18 carat = 75% pure gold with 25% other materials (either copper, zinc, nickle, silver, palladium or platinum added depending on the colour-rose, yellow or white gold)
  • 22 carat = 91.7% pure gold with 8.3% other materials (either copper, zinc, nickle, silver, palladium or platinum added depending on the colour-rose, yellow or white gold)
  • Sterling silver = 92.5% pure fine silver with 7.5% parts copper

The easiest way is to measure a ring that they wear using the Coral Covey size chart.

We will post this chart out to you.

We could not recommend Laura highly enough to anyone that is looking for a custom piece of jewellery that is made with sustainably and ethically sourced materials and injected with love by her. We found Laura whilst wandering one of our favourite makers markets and fell in love with her pieces on display and workmanship. We took her card and knew this was the Jeweller we wanted to make our engagement ring. Laura is such a pleasure to work with, she listened to all our feedback on what we wanted to create with this special piece. Thank you Laura. Best, Sue and Ramon

Thank you, Sue. It was a real pleasure working with you and Ramon on your wedding rings. The diamonds you selected for your engagement ring were so stunning and the wedding bands came together so well, with their special custom engraving.

I didn’t know what I wanted until I saw Laura’s work—her artistry, ethics, and attention to detail spoke where words couldn’t. She took the time to understand our story, guiding us with such care and intention, and the result is more beautiful than I could have imagined. Knowing our rings were crafted with sustainability and purpose makes them even more special, and I’m so grateful to Laura for creating something we’ll cherish forever.

It was a real pleasure to work with you and Aaron on both your engagement ring and wedding bands, especially from afar in Sydney. Thank you for the beautiful kind words in your review. Creating your rings was so much fun! Hope we get to meet in Melbourne or Sydney sometime soon :)

Laura was a real pleasure to work with. My partner and I weren't sure what we wanted in our special rings, but Laura patiently took us through the design process with an ease and humour that made the whole experience one of the highlights of our wedding preparations. The high quality of the craftswomanship lead to a stunning result. We couldn't be happier with our rings! Highly recommend Laura!!

My wife and I got our engagement rings, wedding bands, and more recently our 10-year anniversary ring designed and created by Laura. It's fair to say we are fans of her incredible work. From the first introduction to working with Laura, our experience has been terrific. She is concise and professional, whilst also making the whole experience fun and enjoyable. She can take a broad concept and turn it into a beautifully designed and thought out piece. It's amazing to watch. Love the sustainable approach too. Highly recommend working with Coral Covey!
