SWS are a husband & wife team but maybe that should be wife & husband team. Sandy Whittaker-Sparks and Rodney Sparks and the union of their skills dovetail into an imaginative and productive team. SWS Manufacturing Jewellers are fortunate to be able design and handcraft some truly beautiful pieces from a private studio in Adelaide's east.
They have been making fine jewellery there for the last 15 years. SWS is a modest studio when compared to others, but this provides the ability to deal with clients in an intimate situation that is relaxing for you. When you visit them you are exactly where your piece is being made, a true workshop.

Design
Report

Manufacturing
Report
Every piece is hand crafted at the SWS studio. It is made using traditional techniques only using gold alloys of the highest quality which are refined here in South Australia. The alloying metals used in gold are critically important. They control everything from the melting point through malleability, to how the metal finishes.
Remodeling, Restoration & Repairs
Report
Fine jewellery that has sentimental value can be transformed from keepsake to something that is worn on an everyday basis. Similarly, a piece which has lost appeal over time or is simply outdated and consigned to the bottom of your jewellery box can be remodeled into something you will cherish and wear with pride.
Diamonds & Gemstones
Report
SWS will always prefer diamonds of the better qualities, however they will search merchants stock to ensure you get the best stone available within your budget. Their diamonds are sourced from merchants who guarantee they have been purchased from legitimate sources not involved in funding conflict and in full compliance of United Nations resolutions.
Valuations & Insurance Quotations
Report
SWS provides a valuation for insurance purposes with every piece they craft. They use a completely independent valuer for the obvious reason that he can make an impartial assessment of the item.
The Valuer, a member of the National Council of Jewellery Valuers, has a comprehensive gemmological laboratory, is a Fellow of The Gemmological Association of Great Britain, a Fellow of The Gemmolocial Association of Australia and holds an Advanced Diploma of Diamond Grading.His valuations are comprehensive in the item description and include a photograph of the piece which makes it much easier to reproduce in the unfortunate event of a loss.
