Naveya Sloane
Naveya & Sloane are contemporary jewelers based in Auckland.
We all know that women can become incredibly selective when it comes to a large piece of precious metal and carbon that requires a separate insurance policy. It’s fair to say that only the very brave and very stupid would take that risk.
Naveya & Sloane has come up with a fantastic idea that eliminates indecision when selecting that piece of jewelry, either for a proposal (which is where it come in to its own) or as a gift. The original setting is an ingot plus a diamond in its raw state. These raw materials can then be made into a ring of your fiancé or partner's choice.
Good idea.
