The Studio
Behind the Stone
For over 65 years, Coloured Gemstones Australia has been a family-owned studio rooted in the tradition of fine jewellery making — two generations, thousands of pieces, each one made to be worn, remembered, and passed down.

A Family Trade,
Built to Endure
Founded by Swiss master jeweller Bruno Moser and now led by his son Richard, our Burnside studio has never been driven by volume. It has always been driven by the belief that jewellery made well enough becomes something more than an object.
It becomes part of a life. A proposal remembered. A milestone marked. A piece passed from one generation to the next with the story still intact. That is why this work matters to us, and why we have never stopped doing it.
Swiss Precision.
Australian Craft.
Our foundation is Swiss training — a discipline built on exacting standards, technical mastery, and a deep respect for materials. That precision has shaped the way we work for over six decades and it shows in every piece that leaves our studio.
When you visit our Burnside showroom, you can view our coloured gemstone collection in person, handle individual stones, and speak directly with our jewellers. There is no substitute for seeing a stone in natural light — and we encourage you to come in before you decide.
The Standards Behind Every Piece
Certified Stones
Every coloured gemstone is certified, conflict-free, and responsibly sourced. We present cut, colour, clarity, and carat in plain language — no guesswork, no pressure.
Made to Order
Nothing in our studio is produced in advance. Every ring, pendant, earring, and bracelet is crafted specifically for you — from the first conversation to the final polish.
Responsibly Sourced
All stones are conflict-free. We also work with lab-created stones that offer the same brilliance and durability with full transparency on origin.
Award-Winning Craft
Multiple national Designer of Dreams Awards and the 2024 SA Bridal Industry Association title of Best Ring Manufacturer — a standard we hold on every piece.
First Conversation
Visit our Burnside studio or book a complimentary consultation. Bring ideas, references, or simply a sense of what you are looking for — we will guide you from there.
Stone Selection
We walk you through each stone in person — colour, clarity, cut, and carat explained plainly. You handle the stones in natural light before any decision is made.
Design & Craft
Your piece is designed and crafted to order at our Burnside studio. You work directly with Richard and our team — every decision along the way is yours to make.
Yours for Life
Every piece leaves with full certification. We provide professional cleaning, inspections, and resizing whenever needed — because fine jewellery deserves ongoing care.
Choosing the
Right Stone
Coloured gemstones are not interchangeable. An emerald carries a different weight and presence to an aquamarine. A ruby reads differently on the skin than a spinel, even when the colours appear similar at first glance.
Part of what we do at Coloured Gemstones Australia is help you understand those differences so that the stone you choose is the right one for the piece, the occasion, and the person wearing it.
When you visit our showroom or book a consultation, we will walk you through the options in plain language — without pressure and without assumption. The decision is always yours.
Services Across Every Stage
Custom Jewellery Design
From engagement rings to birthstone pendants and anniversary pieces — every custom design starts with your brief and is crafted to order at our Burnside studio. You work directly with our jewellers at every stage.
Stone Selection & Sourcing
We carry a full range of certified coloured gemstones and can source specific stones to your requirements. Every stone comes with documentation on origin, treatment history, and grading.
Repairs & Restorations
Professional repairs, restorations, cleaning, safety inspections, and resizing — for pieces from our studio and beyond. Heirloom jewellery is treated with the same care as a new commission.

Birthstone & Family Pieces
Some of the most meaningful pieces we create incorporate birthstones or anniversary stones across a family. From a single pendant to a multi-stone design spanning generations — we can create something that carries everyone.
