HEIDI AS DESIGNER
For many years, Heidi has created exquisite pieces to suit different dreams and budgets. Some have been new pieces; others replicates; and many nostalgic, inherited or estate jewellery remodelled to suit different styles, tastes and personalities.
Most of us own jewellery that evokes some special moment or occasion. The piece, from a family member or special friend that is imprinted with everlasting emotions or reminds us of love, loss or celebrations. No matter what the jewellery, it has its own story.
What is in your jewellery box? Are there pieces that no longer “spark joy” and tucked away or not worn in your collection? Maybe they could be turned into an exquisite piece for you to wear, love and create a unique emotional bond.
Heidi loves making these connections with people and jewellery, creating new stories or continuing journeys, with pieces that are special and desired by the wearer and the next generation – treasured jewels.
Testimonials
Most honest and creative designs. Don't buy a ring until you speak with Collective Designs.

Highly recommended
Rob
Heidi did a wonderful job in providing a wide range and some qualified guidance on the best option to pick out a matching necklace and ring for my wife’s birthday. Heidi was amazing, hand-delivered it at a convenient time and location and I’d highly recommend Heidi both for her personal care and attention and to keep me in the good books with my wife!

Jan & Catherine
After the passing of my mother, Heidi has taken some of her old jewellery and designed some beautiful necklaces for my daughters and granddaughters. This lifetime memory had been beautifully done at a price that was extremely reasonable.
Many thanks Heidi!!

Thank you for your time, advice, ideas and friendliness. Naturally, we were both anxious and very excited to see what the result was of our ideas.
Without a doubt, we are both thrilled to bits with my ring......it is just beautiful.
Sue & David
Heidi is one of the most creative designers that I know. She has the ability to interpret what is going on in someone mind and create a unique piece of jewellery that will stand the test of time. Even if you have no ideas, Heidi has the ability to tease out of someone, what they like or dislike, what is meaningful to them and what the might love in a unique piece of jewellery before they can even picture it in their mind. Whether you need a new creation or a recreation Heidi will give to all the professional support you need to go from conception to completion.

TREASURED JEWELS
With a combination of rings, earrings, a diamond bracelet, and a lot of old gold prices no longer worn, this stunning ring evolved.
What started with a simple design grew after assessing the size and quality of all the diamonds on hand. Letting go of some not so happy memories was part of the journey.
An incredible job by the jeweller to use every diamond available to handmade this sparkly beauty.
Weddings are a day of beautiful moments.
The emotion attached to the big day is very special to be a part of.
This journey connected me to the groom's mother and some existing diamonds, a pair of cufflinks that complimented his wedding ring was handmade for the occasion.
The love of your life we wish never to lose.

With a combination of traditional elements from various family names and a simplistic design the creation of a new crest was a journey of connection and belonging for one family member.
An unusually facetted natural Aquamarine gem that has spent many years in a box has finally become a wearable and unique pendant.
Ensuring the colour and fragility of the gem was accentuated the journey for this creation was very special.
The collection of old jewellery items each with a memory but never worn.
Creating one sparkling piece with all the memories.
From a loved one's jewels, a new journey can be created.
Using every element of the original two rings, seven family members have a replica of Nanny's special diamond pendant and one member has a treasured memory in a ring.
Naturally, Boulder Opals have their own beauty so creating a unique piece needs to allow light to see the "fire" in the gem.
Forged sterling silver and 24ct gold detail surrounds this large free formed beauty, creating a ring as a work of art for everyone to admire.
Engagements are a special occasion in anyone's life.
Establishing a style, choosing a design, sourcing the diamonds an emotional journey from the beginning to the end.
Passion, desire, and the perfect ring.
Sentimental value can never be replaced.
Replicating a similar design to an original bridal set, with new settings and creating one single ring allows jewels to continue a journey of love and sentiment.
Drawing and rendering ideas and desires or just updating to a current trend.
Transferring designs to paper are the beginnings of the journey.
Individual desires using a one of a kind ornamental gemstone.
Using traditional silversmithing techniques with a combination of sterling silver and 22ct gold this creation is truly unique.
A very special 40th gift that makes a statement.
Creating an Heirloom is a beautiful journey to be part of.
This little beauty was for a 21st using the birthstone Ruby for the special keepsake.
Combining various verbal ideas for the desired ring design from across the country, incorporating some elements that represent the lives of the couple.
From a sketch to stunning unique diamond engagement ring, that desires became reality.
What is in your jewellery box you no longer wear, out dated or broken?
Imagine what you can create that is uniquely your from all your old pieces.
Having an idea can be a style or just a gemstone.
Working with clients and their ideas is also taking a journey to create that memento that represents an occasion that lasts a lifetime.
