Celebrating 30 Years for Dimity Dornan AO from Hear and Say
It was truly an honour for the Artisans team to be commissioned to design and handmake something special to celebrate the life’s work of Dimity Dornan AO, who is the Founder and Executive Director of Hear and Say. Hear and Say are the world-leading experts in hearing, listening and spoken language therapy.
We were inspired by the Hear and Say logo and incorporated the butterfly and brand colours into her bespoke transitional Pendant/Brooch piece. The butterfly symbolises transformation and hope, which is what Dimity has achieved for many lives whom she has changed greatly.
Dimity’s piece was crafted in 18ct White Gold with Blue Ceylon Sapphires of different tones and Diamonds set in the butterfly’s body and wings. On the reverse of the pendant/brooch is the Hear & Say Logo in Rose Gold along with an accent feature on the chain in the shape of a paper scroll with ’30 Yrs’ hand engraved.

Virgin Australia
We were commissioned by Heather Jeffrey (General Manager Public Affairs at Virgin Australia) in 2010 to create the farewell gift for Brett Godfrey, co-founder of Virgin Australia – an 18ct White Gold Virgin Blue Card set with Diamonds & Blue Sapphires, engraved with his name. It was gifted to him at a farewell ceremony.
Brett sent our team an email shortly after his farewell saying “I am quite fortunate and upon leaving I received a number of gifts, but this unique piece and the demonstrated craftsmanship will take pride of place in my collection. And it will not sit and gather dust either, it will fulfil a key requirement I know Heather asked of you and that was to allow it to travel with me.”
