Creations Wins Diamonds Reimagined at the 2026 Diamond Guild Australia Awards

We are so delighted to share that Creations Jewellers has won the Diamonds Reimagined category at the 2026 Diamond Guild Australia Jewellery Design Awards with our Arc diamond earrings. All three of our entries were named finalists, and everyone in our Manuka, Canberra workshop could not be prouder.

A magical night in Sydney

Last month's awards night, held at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) in Sydney, was an incredible evening filled with diamond jewellery and people that truly sparkled at the pinnacle of our industry. We were surrounded by talented and passionate jewellery designers and makers, as models graced the room wearing our Arc diamond earrings, Swarf solitaire ring and Contour ring.

The Arc: Diamonds Reimagined winner

Designed and handmade by Ben Preston-Black, Rowan Thin-Smith and Helena Yntema, The Arc is a multi-piece ear climber featuring carré cut, princess cut and tapered baguette cut diamonds set in platinum. Each earring sweeps up the ear in an arc of tapered baguettes, finished with an engraved fan-shaped detail.

A huge congratulations to Ben, Rowan and Helena! We also want to say a massive thank you to our wonderful client, who was kind enough to trust us with making The Arc for this category.
