Beauty. Rarity. Legacy.®

Established in 2008, Rhys James is an independent fine jewellery house guided by a devotion to beauty, rarity and legacy, underpinned by the qualities of excellence, creativity and innovation.

Renowned for the elegant interplay of smooth geometric lines, contemporary forms and exquisite finishes, the Rhys James aesthetic embodies a modern sense of discreet luxury and minimalist elegance. These values define our approach to fine jewellery, reflected in the relatively small number of extraordinary jewels we create each year.

With a foundation built on considered design and craftsmanship, service excellence, and a passion for personal expression, Rhys James continues to design and produce jewellery that is timeless, meaningful, and true to its founding vision.

Based in Melbourne, Australia.

Our Creations

At Rhys James, each creation is meaningful and enduring, combining refined wearability with contemporary aesthetics and the finest materials to craft fine jewellery destined to be passed down through generations.

While our collection pieces speak to timeless design, our true strength lies in bespoke commissions. We work closely with each client to create jewellery that celebrates their unique milestones and stories. Whether it is a well-deserved self-purchase or a deeply personal symbol of love, every piece is designed and handmade in Australia using traditional precious materials and time-honoured craftsmanship.

Responsibly Sourced Natural Diamonds

Every diamond has a story, and we believe it should be one of beauty, integrity and respect. We source only natural diamonds from trusted suppliers who adhere to the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) and the World Diamond Council’s System of Warranties (SoW), ensuring each stone is conflict-free, ethically sourced and responsibly traded.

Beyond compliance, we value the provenance and traceability of every diamond, selecting only those that reflect our commitment to ethical luxury jewellery and timeless elegance. Each jewel carries not only its natural brilliance but also the assurance of a journey marked by respect, responsibility, and enduring beauty.

Crafted with Integrity

Sustainability is integral to the artistry of Rhys James. Each piece is meticulously crafted to order, using only what is needed of our precious metals, ethically sourced diamonds, and coloured gemstones. This thoughtful approach preserves material rarity, maintains exceptional quality, and minimises waste. Integrity and social responsibility guide every sourcing decision, upholding the beauty and legacy of each creation.

We partner exclusively with ateliers who share these values and hold Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) certification with Chain of Custody (COC) accreditation. This ensures every element can be traced to responsible and ethical sources. These global standards uphold human rights, environmental sustainability, and ethical business practices, assuring our clients that each jewel is crafted with beauty, precision, and profound respect for people and the planet.
