From studs to stunning drops

From simple diamond studs to a pair of stunning drop earrings:

These beautiful earrings were created by Matthew using over 20 individual processes of hand making.

Here, we share some photos from the provenance report that we create for every single piece of jewellery we make at PIKE, to show how involved, unique and fascinating the manufacturing process is.

I haven’t included every single photo from the provenance report, but I think this gives a good idea of what you can expect at PIKE – we also encourage our customers to come in and see Matthew making their jewellery at the studio workshop.

If you have any gemstones or jewellery that you aren’t wearing, or have a family stone you are not sure what to do with, we would love to show you what is possible. Phone Nicholas on 08 8338 3109, email us at hello@pike.com.au or pop in to the studio workshop and let us show you around.
