Ainsley turned a lemon topaz pendant that my mother left me into a beautifully crafted ring. It's stunning.

I had my engagement ring made by Ainsley. She sourced a beautiful high quality diamond and I was delighted with the finished ring. I have received many positive comments about my ring and I will treasure it always. Thank you Ainsley.

Whilst window shopping the beautiful Leura Village I noticed a signboard saying jewellery repairs by Ainsley and my wife has a beautiful heirloom ring that was split, so I walked in and Ainsley said she could repair it, within the hour! So after a lovely brunch at The Red Door up the street, we returned and the ring was not only repaired but it was polished and looked brand new! What a great service!

I wanted to customise jewellery that I had inherited so was really pleased to find Ainsley and her team could do that for me. They really understood what I was after and have made me the most beautiful ring. Thank you very much for making something so special.

Possibly the best thing about Leura ... this sparkling, mesmerising and ... Im just going to say it - addictive, because it is but in the nicest way possible ... fine jewellery shop belongs on the Left Bank in Paris or on a secret hideaway canal in Venice or anywhere in the world where fine jewellery craftsmanship is at its best, its most imaginative and its most beautiful. Every piece is a highly skilled labour of love from extremely talented Ainsley and her small, super lovely and dedicated team. I have had unworn heirlooms transformed before my very eyes into complete showstoppers

We recently visited Leura and saw a design which I instantly fell in love with. I left the store with a promise of a quote early the next week. Unbeknown to me, my partner called and arranged for the ring to be made for my upcoming birthday. Not only did Ainsley and her team arrange for the ring to be made in time for my birthday, but the service was exceptional!! Thank you Ainsley for an amazing and gorgeous ring that I will cherish forever! We will definitely be back for more custom work in the future. And I will continue to recommend you to my friends for their jewellery needs.
