Our Services

At D&D Designer Jewellers, we specialise in custom engagement rings, bespoke jewellery design, onsite manufacturing and jewellery remodelling in Port Macquarie, creating meaningful jewellery designed to become lasting expressions of the heart. Daniel is passionate about the beautiful diamonds and gemstones he incorporates into his handcrafted creations. Whether you have an idea, inspiration image, heirloom piece, or simply require creative guidance, Daniel works closely with you to transform your vision into a timeless jewellery masterpiece.

From custom engagement rings and fitted wedding bands to diamond pendants, earrings and coloured gemstone jewellery, every piece is individually handcrafted onsite using premium Australian refined metals, natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, carefully selected gemstones and exceptional workmanship. Combining over 24 years of traditional bench and design experience with modern CAD technology, Daniel creates jewellery that balances artistry, precision, durability and beauty. Depending on the design and individual requirements of each piece, CAD technology may be used to assist with visualisation and technical precision while maintaining the craftsmanship and individuality of traditional handmaking techniques.

Throughout the custom design process, Daniel and Doreen work closely with clients to discuss design concepts, gemstones, metal selections and budget considerations, ensuring the final piece reflects each client's unique story, personality and vision. Operating by private appointment allows us to provide dedicated one-on-one service in a relaxed boutique environment throughout every stage of the custom jewellery journey. Every piece is handcrafted onsite in Port Macquarie and created to stand the test of time — treasured heirloom jewellery designed to be enjoyed and passed down through future generations.

Daniel embraces both traditional handcrafting techniques and modern CAD (Computer Aided Design) technology to bring jewellery concepts to life with precision and clarity. Using advanced 3D CAD software, clients can visualise their custom jewellery designs in different metal colours, gemstone combinations, proportions, and design variations before manufacture begins. This allows clients to become actively involved in the design process and ensures the final piece is everything they envisioned.

Depending on the complexity and style of the design, CAD technology may be used to assist with technical precision and visual representation while still maintaining the artistry and craftsmanship of traditional handmaking methods. Clients are welcome to bring inspiration images, sketches, ideas, or heirloom pieces to their consultation. Daniel and Doreen work closely with each client to create a truly personalised jewellery piece designed specifically for them. We proudly work with Platinum, all carats of Gold and Silver, and premium Australian refined metals.

Jewellery often holds deep sentimental value, representing important milestones, memories, and family history passed through generations. At D&D Designer Jewellers, we specialise in jewellery remodelling, restoration, and remakes, transforming dated, inherited, or sentimental
jewellery into beautiful new pieces while preserving their emotional significance. Whether you wish to restore an heirloom to its former beauty, remodel an outdated design, or remake existing jewellery into something entirely new, Daniel works closely with you to create a timeless custom piece tailored to your vision. We can utilise your existing gemstones and precious metals where suitable, while also sourcing replacement gemstones carefully matched for colour, clarity, and size when required.

All work is completed onsite in Port Macquarie by Daniel himself and is never outsourced elsewhere. Every item entrusted to us is treated with exceptional care and fully insured whilst in our possession. Private consultations are available by appointment to discuss your ideas and explore design possibilities.

At D&D Designer Jewellers, we believe your one-of-a-kind love deserves a one-of-a kind engagement ring. For clients seeking something truly personal and meaningful, Daniel specialises in custom designing and handcrafting bespoke engagement rings and fitted wedding bands onsite in Port Macquarie. Unlike mass-produced jewellery, every custom piece is individually designed and manufactured using premium materials, quality craftsmanship, and carefully selected diamonds and gemstones designed to stand the test of time.

Daniel combines over 24 years of traditional bench experience with modern CAD technology to create engagement rings and wedding bands that balance beauty, durability, and individuality. Clients are invited to book a private consultation with Daniel and Doreen to discuss design ideas,
diamond and gemstone options, metal selections, and budget considerations in a relaxed one-on-one environment.

With access to a trusted international network of diamond and gemstone suppliers that Daniel’s family has worked with for generations, we are able to source exceptional natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, coloured gemstones, and rare stones tailored to each client’s individual requirements. Every bespoke engagement ring and wedding band is handcrafted onsite to become a treasured future heirloom.

At D&D Designer Jewellers, we proudly offer a carefully curated selection of natural diamonds, coloured gemstones and rare stones sourced from trusted suppliers around the world. With a family jewellery heritage dating back to 1919, Daniel has access to some of the world's premier diamond cutting and gemstone centres, including Antwerp. Every diamond and gemstone is personally selected for its beauty, quality and character. We proudly work with suppliers who comply with the Kimberley Process and System of Warranties mandated by the World Diamond Council and the United Nations, ensuring natural diamonds are legally sourced and conflict-free.

We can source a wide range of exceptional diamonds and gemstones, including Hearts & Arrows diamonds, rare Argyle Pink Diamonds, Argyle Chocolate, Champagne and Cognac Diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds and unique bespoke gemstones tailored to individual client requirements. Whether selecting a diamond for an engagement ring or sourcing a rare gemstone for a custom jewellery design, Daniel and Doreen work closely with each client to help them find the perfect stone to suit their vision, style and budget. For clients interested in alternative diamond options, we also offer premium lab-grown diamonds, which are discussed in the section below.

Due to growing demand, D&D Designer Jewellers proudly offers premium lab-grown diamonds, providing clients with additional flexibility when creating custom jewellery. Carefully selected for their beauty, quality and sustainability credentials, our lab-grown diamonds possess the same chemical, physical and optical properties as mined diamonds. Many are grown using the CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition) method from high-quality Type IIa diamond seed material and are independently graded and laser inscribed. Lab-grown diamonds can provide greater flexibility in size, budget and design possibilities, allowing clients to achieve a larger or higher-quality diamond within their preferred budget. As accredited retailers of Certified Sustainability Rated Diamonds under the SCS-007 Jewellery Sustainability Standard, we proudly offer lab-grown diamonds independently validated for ethical stewardship, origin traceability, climate neutrality, sustainable production and sustainability investments. Daniel and Doreen are happy to guide clients through the available options and help select the most suitable diamond for their individual preferences, design goals and budget.
