This is us.
Christopher Rain Jewels is a full suite boutique consultancy. We are headquartered in Cape Town and Melbourne with international reach having presences in Melbourne, Bangkok, Dallas and Rio De Janeiro. Our focus is service underpinned by integrity and transparency paired with cumulative decades of expertise. Our areas of speciality are crafting fine jewellery, sourcing loose diamonds and gems, and curating vintage and antique jewel collections.
By engaging with us, you have unprecedented access to our networks of precious gem partners, master designers and craftspeople. We provide dedicated individualised and neutral advice with ongoing support to build strong and lasting relationships.
Let us start the conversation.
The process.
Time is precious, more than any diamond or gem and we appreciate that. Our process is designed around you. Our service commences with a meeting - ideally in-person - at your home or a convenient location. Our in-home service offers two important aspects - firstly, we want you relaxed and comfortable, secondly we develop a sense of your style from the surroundings. This is also a more secure and private environment as we know many of our clients value discretion.
After this first and subsequent consultation we develop a working brief of what is desired. We will then engage as required over the process, with you as the client dictating a level of involvement. You can become part of the team and be as detailed as discussing the spacing on a pave setting or remaining hands off. You decide.
As every piece is bespoke, we do not carry readymade stock - there are many places that do this well already. We do not want to be one of them. We will source every component of your piece from our inventory of loose jewels and our trusted partners. This gives us fluidity to tailor and perfect every aspect of your magnificent piece.
We offer a design service if required, optional traditional gauche paintings, hand sketches or computer aided designs. We embrace the traditional and the technological.
The majority of our pieces are completely handmade by master craftspeople and only occasionally will we opt for a cast or hybrid piece. Every item comes with an independent appraisal completed by an accredited expert.
