About Calmwaveau

We are a Richmond, Melbourne based jewelry design studio focused on minimalist, modern and sustainably made custom jewelry. We create engagement rings, redesign family heirlooms and craft small limited collections by hand.

Our work balances clean geometry with warm materials — recycled precious metals, ethically sourced stones, and quiet, wearable forms designed for everyday life.

Gold and silver reclaimed and certified where available.

Ethical Stones

Conflict-free options and lab-grown alternatives.

Longevity

Repair, resizing and heirloom redesign services to extend life.

FAQ & Policies

Yes — we specialise in heirloom redesigns and will assess stones and settings, recommending the most sustainable approach.

Typical timeline is 6–8 weeks from approval of final designs; rush options may be available. Consultations help refine schedule.
