Custom made jewellery
Why not get your dream jewellery piece created in the heart of Sydney at Diamonds by Design? A custom made jewellery piece is unique and personal. Whether you’re after jewellery with exquisite diamonds or prized coloured gemstones, for yourself or for a loved one, simple or more detailed, our award winning designers have a lifetime of experience to create a piece you will love.
Jewellery restoration
Diamonds by Design specialises in restoring jewellery. We are just as happy to restore an heirloom or generational piece as we are to create a new one. We can use one piece to create multiple pieces, or multiple pieces to create one piece – Whether you have an idea already conceived or need some help designing it, Karen will proudly put her years of experience into creating something special.
Jewellery repair
Whatever the reasons to repair jewellery, it is important to use a company that cares about what it does and will restore and repair the item sympathetically. Choosing the right company with plenty of expertise is crucial as a bad repair detracts from the beauty of the original piece.
Jewellery valuation
A gemmologist from Diamonds by Design can talk you through the process of jewellery valuations in Sydney and provide you with an average estimate of your jewellery’s value.
The story so far....
Hi, we are Maddie McCarthy and Daniel Anania and we are the team behind Diamonds By Design.
Our story is very unique, and the best is still yet to come.
Maddie:
I was fortunate enough to work with Karen Lindley at Diamonds by Design for work experience during year 11 and 12. I met Karen through my Dad and her Son. I have always loved Jewellery, who wouldn’t, the feel of gold on your skin, the way gemstones shimmer in the light, the sentiment that different pieces mean to people, even if they aren’t to your taste you can still appreciate them for what they are and what they mean.
The more I worked with Karen, the more I fell in love with her world and started doing everything in my power to be in Karen’s office of 35 years, even heavy pestering of my school Headmaster to let me take every Tuesday off school and travel into the city from the Southern Highlands to work unpaid, for two years!
In a roundabout way that persistence paid off. Karen had been talking about retiring from Diamonds by Design to concentrate on her charity and community commitments, and obviously after more than 40 years didn’t want to just close the business or sell it to someone who didn’t share her passion. Karen had worked with Daniel’s Grandfather and Father and had known Daniel since he was a baby, the rest is how our paths crossed and I never would have thought he would give me the opportunity to run the company that I was was doing work experience for.
Daniel:
It took three goes before someone actually introduced Maddie and I. Karen and I had been talking on and off whenever we ran into each other about me taking over Diamonds by Design to compliment my business, Anania Family Jewellers. I had been in and out of Karen’s office and Maddie was manning the front desk – we hadn’t been introduced and one day Karen asked her to drop something at my office. “Hi, I’m Maddie from Diamonds by Design” she beamed at me. Over the course of those two years, I got to understand Maddie’s passion for Jewellery and the natural fit that we had. I gave Maddie the challenge of giving me the concept of re-branding Diamonds by Design for the next generation and she far exceeded my expectations, so naturally we had to work together!

Jewellery heist!
Reputable jewellery valuations Sydney Picture a Brink’s tractor-trailer carrying gems and jewellery from a jewellery show in San Mateo, California, to another jewellery show in Pasadena.

Stringing
Do you know that fine silk thread is considered necessary for stringing pearls and gemstones? Although it is perfectly all right to string many types of semi-precious beads on one or more strands of flexible steel or nylon wire, in which case you need crimps (which are soft metal beads) and wire protectors for a […]
The Sydney Watch Centre
Oh the frustration of having a watch or a clock that’s not in working order. And it happens all the time! Of course sometimes it’s only a battery that needs to be replaced, although you can’t always do that yourself, but often the watch needs to be cleaned and checked at the same time, and […]
