Jacqueline Nguyen Jewellery - Pear Signum - Sterling Silver with Aus Black Sapphire

To find your ring size, measure the inner diameter of an existing ring that you'd like to match the size of, in millimetres. If you do not have an existing ring to use, we have ring gauges available for you to purchase. Search ‘ring gauge’ on our website to find the product.

The ring-sizing gauge is similar to a belt – simply push the end through the buckle to form a ring shape. You’ll then need to slip the gauge onto your finger and adjust until you are satisfied with the fit, making sure you check to see if the gauge slips back over your knuckle. Then read the size as indicated by the arrow.

Providing the correct ring size when the order is placed is the responsibility of the customer. In some cases the ring can be adjusted, in other cases we would have to fabricate a completely new ring. Please contact us to make a personalised evaluation of the case and to define the corresponding fee.

Once you’re confident you have found your ring size, you can add your exact size in the ‘notes’ section just before you click checkout.

Jacqueline Nguyen has an Advanced Diploma of Jewellery and Object Design from Melbourne Polytechnic having graduated in 2019 with the O’Neils affiliated award for Best Design and the EG Etal series project winner award. She also went on to become the 2020 VIC/TAS winner of the Design Institute of Australia’s Australasian Graduate of the Year Award (Jewellery and Objects)
for her graduate collection.

Her work concentrates on the observation of gender concepts - what is considered ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ - by examining and identifying what defines something as gender specific during the creative process, then reinterpreting once traditional, wearable pieces into something modern that stills pertains a timeless quality. This has allowed for her aesthetic to draw on the juxtaposing characteristics she see between soft curves, creases and crevices and the sharp precision of angular and architectural lines.

Metal and Plated Jewellery Care

Please use only warm soapy water to clean your jewellery. A metal specific polishing cloth, or specialised jewellery cleaner can also be used to rejuvenate your piece. Some of our jewellery pieces are unpolished and can change colour over time (especially if left unworn). This is not a manufacturing fault, just the manner of the material.

Please be conscious that gold-plated jewellery is delicate and will wear over time. We offer our customers gold plating renewal on their items when deemed necessary. We are happy to arrange this at minimal expense to the customer. Customers will need to cover the freight costs. We do not charge extra for this service or profit from it.

Pearl Care

Pearls are porous and caring for them is very important to maintain their natural beauty and value. Please don’t drop your pearl jewellery on hard surfaces, submerge in water, wear with open weave clothing, spray with perfume or expose to cream/makeup of any kind. Pearls should be cleaned with a damp cloth but never submerged in water or sprayed with cleaning products. A good rule of thumb is to put your pearl jewellery on last.
