The studio, Cotton Tree

Twenty+ years at the seaside bench.

For more than 20 years, we've crafted bespoke, handcrafted pieces for clients local, national and international — from our boutique studio in the seaside village of Cotton Tree.

New York, two kids.

Before the studio, co-owner Kristen New lived in New York City, nannying two children. Paul always dreamed of taking his own two kids — now adults — to New York. NY2K: New York, two kids.

Paul New · Guild Fellow

Paul New is a Fellow of the Gold & Silversmiths Guild of Australia — №081.

A Fellow is admitted as an individual maker, assessed by the Guild as working to a consistently high standard — one of fewer than 200 makers listed as a Fellow on the Guild's public register. Paul's makers mark is struck on the Guild's fine silver touchplate beside his member number, recorded in perpetuity, and Fellowship entitles him to strike the diamond-bordered kangaroo on his work.

Rare by nature

Genuine certified Argyle pink diamonds and Autore South Sea pearls, sourced and set here in the studio.

Natural diamonds, by default

Natural, earth-mined diamonds are our speciality and what we work with unless you ask otherwise. Lab-grown can be sourced on request.

A rarity that is now finite.

The Argyle mine in Western Australia — source of more than 90% of the world's pink diamonds — closed in 2020. No more will ever be mined; certified Argyle pinks are a finite rarity.

NY2K Jewellers sources and sets genuine certified Argyle pink diamonds from the studio in Cotton Tree.
