Our Story
Adapted from Noble (Nolan - in Irish Gaelic) and Promise (Vada - in Sanskrit), we are a boutique jewellery design studio helping couples express their true authentic self through artistic & ethical engagement rings.
Signifying deep emotions & personality, we believe colours represent uniqueness, inclusivity, individuality and the choices we make to lead our own path.
Offering a rare collection of one-of-a-kind centre stones combined with an exquisite collection of ring designs, we help couples to design their truly one-of-a-kind engagement ring that truly represents them.
While there are many reputable design studios offering traditional engagement rings, we feel there are lack of choices among artistic & ethical engagement rings. We are on a mission to offer rare one-of-a-kind centre stone pieces and unique designs to make engagement rings more personable and meaningful.
Based in Auckland, we have been working in person and remotely with couples all over New Zealand, and the world, to design truly one-of-a-kind engagement rings.
Get in touch to explore design possibilities & see a range of rare exquisite gems from our private collection.
Happily married to my gorgeous wife now, Nolan and Vada can be traced back to the time when I popped the question back in 2016.
When proposing I didn’t consider what this ring would truly mean to my partner, I simply picked a diamond because that’s what I was supposed to choose.
She in fact had her heart set on a purple gem, a colour that truly represented her personality, individuality and culture.
Fascinated by rare coloured gems, their uniqueness, individuality, and artistic expression, I was on a mission to make engagement rings more meaningful, personable, ethical, and most importantly, inclusive.
Whether your sapphire is the same deep shade of teal as your partner's eyes, or evokes the memory of your first kiss by the ocean, there’s a story to be captured when designing the time-honoured piece of jewellery.
Built on values of promise and transparency, I and my team at Nolan and Vada will be honoured to handcraft a one-of-a-kind masterpiece for your special occasion.
