25.01.2022 The meaning behind Elova Jewellery 7 years ago I was working full time as a jeweller north of the city. On weekends I would do small jobs for family and friends, from here word of mouth spread and I started having a little stream of work to keep me busy. After a while I decided to make it official and the first step was to come up with a business name. I swear it’s just as hard as picking a name for your child ... My partner an I brainstormed ideas back and forth for weeks and then one morning I said Elova. The E stands for my name, Erin and I had discovered lova while searching for alternatives for my middle name Louise. I also adored the idea that part of the word love is in there too. So not only does it stand for who I am, I feel that the name also encompasses the love that is behind each piece of jewellery that I make See more
25.01.2022 There are so many awesome pieces booked into the workshop at the moment, so thank you so so much to everyone out there thats sharing my work and booking appointments. After having a few years on and off from maternity leave I was really sceptical on if I could make my business still work with a young family, would I even get any work.... There are two main reasons that I really wanted to give it a good shot. One, was that I wanted to work around my two young children... and the second was that I absolutely LOVE hand making jewellery. I didnt want to go work in another workshop where I was away from the kids and having the repetitiveness of cleaning up castings. Over the last year Ive put a lot of work in by setting up my website, connecting with local businesss and upping my social media game. With the addition of all of your support and word of mouth Im so overjoyed to say that my business is thriving. So thank you so much once again, I really love that I get to do what I love whilst still spending time with my little family See more
25.01.2022 I can finally share my excitement with you all that my baby sister and her partner got engaged! A massive congratulations to you both, we are all so happy for you and cant wait to celebrate your special day @ Rockingham, Western Australia
25.01.2022 Earlier this year Elova Jewellery was a part of the amazing event The Rockingham Long table Lunch. An Australian south sea pearl along with a voucher was donated to be a part of the ladies Auction package. It raised $2000 to go to the Variety Childrens Charity. It was an incredible day filled with entertainment and delicious food, if youve ever considered going I highly recommend it. Not only is it a great day but it helps raise money for a great cause. ... Here is the result for the winner of the auction, I hope you enjoy it
25.01.2022 Wow! 7 years ago today I received my trade certificate It was after completing a jewellery course in high school during year 10 that I decided that I wanted to be a jeweller. After graduating, I enrolled in a jewellery object and design course and completed the first year. While studying here I would always go to the other side of the workshop and appreciate all of the work the apprentices were doing. ... The next year I started my 4 year apprenticeship. It definitely wasn’t easy, but over the four years I worked very hard, pushed myself and came out the other side with invaluable skills that have helped me to be where I am today. This year I have been lecturing the current WA apprentices at North Metro Tafe and I’ve been so grateful to be able to pass on my skills and knowledge to the next jewellers to enter the industry.

24.01.2022 Happy 1 year engagement anniversary to Ben and Jade Thank you so so much for sharing this beautiful photo of your ring I hope you’re both doing something nice tonight to celebrate
24.01.2022 One question that I get asked frequently is why are my appointment times are in the afternoons during the week. The reason is because of these two little people I like to hold my appointments after hours so my hubby can take charge of the kids while I give you my 100% focus. ... On that note my available appointment times are Monday - Friday - 4.30pm-7.30pm Saturday- Sunday - 9am-5pm Im able to help you with all custom designs, remodels and repairs. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions at all See more
23.01.2022 Your secret is safe with me While working on any engagement ring or gifts, I make sure to do everything I can to keep it a secret and a surprise. This means no posting to social media, making sure I have your preferred method of contact and keeping my mouth shut Everything that I share to my social media is after the client has received it ... So you can be assured that your surprise will be in safe hands I really do love that I get to help people celebrate and commemorate such amazing moments of life See more
23.01.2022 Here’s a behind the scenes clip from another piece that’s recently been finished This ring consists of 16 seperate components hand made in platinum which have carefully been formed, filed and pieced together to create one stunning ring. I’ll share the finished result with you all very soon
22.01.2022 How long does it take? Custom makes/ Remodels From the first consultation to having your new piece of jewellery completed can take anywhere from 4-8 weeks. The first week or two are spent quoting, selecting materials and perfecting a design personalised just for you. Once you have settled on a design to suit your budget, its booked into the workshop. Depending on the complexity of the design it usually takes me 3-6 weeks to hand make your custom piece of jewell...ery. Repairs Repairs generally take anywhere from one to two weeks. The time mainly is dependant on how much work needs to be done to your jewellery and if any replacement parts are required Throughout the process I always ensure to keep my clients updated on the progress of their jobs with behind the scenes images and videos. I believe in not only delivering the best quality workmanship but also the customer service to go with it See more
21.01.2022 This ring was completely hand made for a very special customer. It was made to replace a ring that was lost, the original ring was given to him years ago by his parents and he had planned to pass it down to the next generation. We worked together to replicate it as close as possible to the original. ... Today when I opened the box to his newly finished ring he was absolutely blown away, he said it was exactly as he remembered I am so humbled that I was able to recreate this memory for his family to once again pass on down to future generations. Along with his ring he was given this keep sake video, demonstrating the traditional goldsmith techniques of how this ring was forged with strength See more
21.01.2022 My new boxes and also my new @gemlightbox have arrived! I am absolutely in love These boxes have been hand made by a local wood worker called Dave. Not only has he made me these beautiful boxes, but also my branded bench pegs that you may have seen over the last few months. There is also actually something special inside this box, but you will have to wait and see
21.01.2022 A massive congratulations to Adam and Alie So much thought went into this designing this beautiful engagement ring. There are delicate initials that were hand pierced in rose gold for the under basket of the centre setting. ... The band was hand forged from platinum and the curves were highlighted with diamond detail. The outcome was simply stunning, I hope you all enjoy this video Music by www.bensound.com
21.01.2022 Warm weather here we come! The family and I will be taking a short trip up North and I will be back in the workshop on the 16th of September. Speak to you all again soon
20.01.2022 This is what I love so much about my job, seeing the process through from start to finish Prior to running my own business I was a full time jeweller working for some of Perths best workshops. I still loved it, but being out the back I never got to see how much each piece that I created meant to someone Here is a ring that was finished and collected by a client on the weekend. ... To hear her story on why she had decided to remodel these sentimental pieces, what the new ring symbolises and also see how she instantly loved her new ring was just the absolute best I hope you enjoy this video showing you the process to create this stunning ring Thanks for watching!

20.01.2022 The finished ring from yesterday’s video One common misconception about jewellery today is that it all comes from overseas now and is made in a large factory. It was only a few weeks ago that I showed someone one of my videos and they were blown away and thrilled to know that there are still a few manufacturing jewellers left in Australia.... This is the main reason that I love documenting the process of how I hand make jewellery. I be love being able to share my passion and skills with my online community. It really brings me so much joy to know that people enjoy the process. So thank you so much to all of my clients that choose to support an Australian manufacturing business See more
20.01.2022 Every diamond that I purchase is through Australian suppliers. Not only do I love that its supporting other Australian businesss, but the absolutely best thing is that I am guaranteed that all of the stones are purchased from legitimate sources which are not involved in funding conflict in compliance with the United Nations Resolutions
19.01.2022 Following yesterday’s behind the scenes post here is the end result This ring was completely handmade, from scratch in platinum and had beautiful white and black diamonds set in both grain and bezel settings. This client came to me with a few rough ideas and pictures of her style and we both worked together to design this stunning ring.... Drop a comment below if you love this ring as much as I do See more
19.01.2022 Recently I had I had the pleasure of making a pair of wedding bands for a lovely couple from their families prospected gold. It takes a lot to prospect this amount, each little piece usually found one at a time. Paired with this gold were sentimental diamonds. Combined and forged into two new bands for a lovely couple for their special day
19.01.2022 Looking forward to a wonderful night tonight The Lab Factory is where I hold my appointments, but also a space of collaboration. There are many other small business’s working within this space together. It’s incredibly inspiring to know that two wonderful women, from Life as Art Brand Coaching and Photography and Donna Bates from On Point Strategy have created this space where small business’s, like mine can grow and thrive together. ...

Its on a long adjustable chain that can be worn 4 different ways
17.01.2022 Congratulations to Josh and Micaela This ring is absolutely stunning Josh had a clear idea in his mind of the ring that he wanted to propose with, he didn’t want just any ring from a jewellery store, he wanted something designed and made just for Micaela ... This is the outcome, a beautiful 1ct GIA diamond set with a hidden halo of diamonds This is their video to show the creative process this stunning ring was made

16.01.2022 What are you best tips for preparing for Christmas It’s definitely starting to feel like Christmas here in the workshop, if only I could actually make my hands work this quick With the days flying by at the moment I would love to know what helps you stay organised and prepare for the holidays. Here I am carving in the claws for diamonds that are 1.1mm each there will then be a beautiful GIA pear shape diamond set in the centre. ... Wishing you all a lovely weekend and I appreciate any tips, with two little kids I know I need to get onto things soon See more
15.01.2022 Thank you so much for another wonderful review, it honestly makes my day This morning I will be on my way to drop the kids off to their Nanas house and then it will be full steam ahead at the bench. There will be quite a few beautiful pieces being received very soon
15.01.2022 One thing I get asked a lot is where do all the different colours in gold come from. The answer is, in its pure state gold will always be a bright yellow. From here it can be alloyed with other metals to change the colour. The main colour combinations are yellow, white and rose. However there are some alloy combinations out there that can make other colours such as purple and green, these can only be used like gemstones though as the metal is very brittle.... In Australia we tend to use metals such as silver and palladium for white gold and different levels of copper and silver for yellow and rose gold. What is your favourite colour See more
15.01.2022 So as you all may have seen yesterday, I shared my excitement that last week my sister said yes to the man of her dreams! I was absolutely thrilled when I got the message from James that he needed a ring. I still remember the exact moment, I was sitting waiting for an appointment and after that I couldnt wipe the smile off my face. James and I arranged to meet to choose the perfect diamond for Katie, this was almost disrupted as she called and said she might come ro...und So I promptly called James and we made a sneaky plan to convince her to come later. James picked a beautiful diamond, left, and then Katie was here 20 minutes later picking something else up talk about stressful After we picked the perfect stone James decided on a classic design after listening to all of the *hints* that she had been giving him While making the ring I couldnt help but feel slightly emotional but also so excited that this huge moment in their lives was about to happen and that I was a part of it . Its definitely one of the most memorable moments of my career now. So thank you so much to James for putting your trust in me to make the ring and also for choosing to be her partner forever I hope you all enjoy this video showing the process See more
15.01.2022 The extra details in this beautiful engagement ring make all the difference. The couples initials were carefully hand pierced into a decorative rose gold basket which also helps to enhance the pink of the morganite The diamonds flow around the sides and over the top of the band which really sets the whole design off. ... It was an absolute pleasure designing this one of a kind ring See more
14.01.2022 Happy Friday everyone I hope you’ve all had a wonderful week and are ready for the weekend Here’s a new little video for you all to kick off to the weekend. ... These are two rings that were hand made for a lovely client from her family’s #heirlooms . I am so happy to know that she is now able to once again wear these #sentimental pieces, reminding her of her loved ones
14.01.2022 So here it is if youve been following along for the last month you would have seen a few shots of this piece being made I am so happy about how this piece turned out and the client was blown away The design brief was to make a daisy Art Deco style pendant in platinum that could be worn a number of ways. We have achieved this by using a long platinum chain that can be wrapped and worn at different lengths. ... We selected a beautiful GIA diamond for the centre and added a personal touch by carving initials to the side gallery of the pendant. This piece has had so much love and attention to detail put into it with the fine milgrain edging, hand carved initials and the ajouré back cut holes. It was such an honour to have the opportunity to work on such a stunning piece Thank you I hope you all enjoy this video See more
13.01.2022 Heres a closer look at the necklace that I shared with you all yesterday. This pendant has just over 2ct of delicious diamonds set in platinum
13.01.2022 She said yes! Congratulations to Bruce and Lara Bruce contacted me a few months ago asking me to make an engagement ring for him to propose on an upcoming holiday. We both worked together via email to come up with this beautiful personalised design. ... The design brief was that it must be elegant, have 5 diamonds, be made from 18ct yellow gold and the band needed to have a soft square base like her other rings. I think this was an absolutely stunning outcome Here’s a short video showing the hand made process. Thank you so much to Bruce and Lara for the amazing photos at the end, they are beautiful

11.01.2022 Sometimes a remodel doesnt have to to mean starting from scratch This is a perfect example, this ring had a gorgeous centre setting which was lowered to a more comfortable height and the yellow gold diamond set band was replaced smooth white gold band. This has actually accentuated the original setting so much more and the client was absolutely delighted ... Before picture is in the comments
11.01.2022 How beautiful are these certified, natural green sapphires Both of these stones come all the way from Madagascar What also makes them so special is that they are completely natural with no heat treatment at all. Approximately 95% of the worlds sapphires have had some form of treatment to enhance the colour and clarity of the stone, so its a very rare occurrence to find such beautiful colours in this natural form. ... If you would like to know more about natural sapphires in any any colour of your choice, please feel free to send me a message See more
11.01.2022 Recently I had the pleasure of showing one of my clients these beautiful, certified natural sapphires They selected their favourite, the design has been finalised and now I get to turn it into a stunning ring I can’t wait to get started on this one ... Sapphires are one of the best options when it comes to adding coloured gemstones to every day wear rings. They are a 9 on the Mohd hardness scale which makes them more resistant to scratches than other coloured gemstone. Even better, they come in so many beautiful colours See more
10.01.2022 Will you marry me This has to be one of the biggest most special questions that you will ask in your life Whilst designing and creating engagement rings I get so excited for the couple, I love hearing all of the thought thats not only being put into the ring but also the proposal ...

09.01.2022 A little look into how stone settings are planned out Accuracy is crucial at this stage to ensure that all of the stones are nice and close, whilst still being secure. A perfectly marked and drilled out ring will create a seamless line of glittery, sparkly diamonds

08.01.2022 How beautiful is this peach petal sapphire If you are looking to add a coloured stone to a ring, make sure you consider a sapphire.
