Our Craftsmanship
Made by Hand. Made to Last.
Every Cherylegant piece is born from a deep reverence for the craft — where traditional goldsmithing meets modern precision, and every detail is considered.
The Maker Behind the Brand
Cheryl Garner
Founder & Master Jeweler
Cheryl Garner founded Cherylegant Jewelry with a singular belief: that fine jewelry should be as personal as the moments it marks. With years of experience in goldsmithing and gemology, Cheryl brings an artisan's eye and a perfectionist's hand to every piece that leaves the studio.
Based in Melbourne, Australia, Cheryl works closely with each client — from the first sketch to the final polish — ensuring that every ring, necklace, and bracelet tells a story worth wearing for a lifetime.
"I don't just make jewelry. I make heirlooms."
How We Work
From Concept to Creation
Every piece follows a meticulous six-step journey — from the first pencil line to the final inspection.
Design & Sketching
Every piece begins with pencil on paper. Cheryl sketches multiple concepts, exploring proportion, silhouette, and stone placement before a single gram of metal is touched.
CAD & Prototyping
Approved sketches are translated into precise 3D CAD models, allowing us to refine every curve and dimension digitally before producing a wax or resin prototype for client approval.
Handcrafting & Metalwork
Using traditional goldsmithing techniques — forging, filing, soldering, and setting — each piece is shaped entirely by hand. No shortcuts, no mass production.
Ethically Sourced Gemstones
We source only conflict-free diamonds and responsibly mined gemstones, working with trusted suppliers who share our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices.
Quality Control & Finishing
Before any piece leaves the studio, it undergoes rigorous inspection — checking every prong, every surface, every facet — then hand-polished to a mirror finish.
Custom & Bespoke Commissions
From engagement rings to anniversary gifts, we welcome bespoke commissions. Work directly with Cheryl to design something entirely unique — a piece that exists nowhere else in the world.
Our Heritage
Years of Experience, One Standard of Excellence
Cherylegant was built on the belief that luxury is not about price — it is about intention. Every technique Cheryl employs has been refined over years of dedicated practice, drawing on both classical goldsmithing traditions and contemporary design sensibilities.
From the Melbourne studio, each piece is crafted with the same care whether it is a simple gold band or a multi-stone statement necklace. That consistency is our promise.
