The Cut Jewellery

What makes The Cut Jewellery different?
Although mined diamonds have long dominated the jewellery industry, lab-grown diamonds are quickly disrupting this ethically questionable practice. This is why the work of The Cut Jewellery is so important. While naturally mined diamonds can often be extracted in unregulated and dangerous conditions, lab-grown diamonds are made safely within a laboratory. Chemically, optically and physically, lab-grown diamonds are identical to mined diamonds, offering the exact same sparkle and brilliance – without the ethical concerns.
Why try The Cut Jewellery?
The Cut Jewellery was founded by TV Journalist Talitha Cummins, who started in the diamond industry over 20 years ago before moving into TV journalism. She joins forces with her uncle’s decades of diamond and jewellery experience, and her cousin’s masterful eye for design.
With the launch of The Cut Jewellery, Cummins is determined to offer Australians a more ethical and sustainable alternative to mined diamonds. The range, which specialises in bespoke engagement rings and fine jewellery, is of exceptional quality and provides a fresh perspective on traditional luxury, free from unethical conditions.
All pieces are crafted in Sydney, Australia, with buyers able to experience a face-to-face consultation in Paddington or collaborate and purchase online. As part of every consult, Kara, Head Designer, will use the latest software to design each piece and offer clients a detailed sneak peek before it is made. If you’re looking for a personalised and bespoke experience from top jewellery stores in Sydney, you can’t go past The Cut Jewellery.
