Kyle Partridge

Founder

Fine jewellery and the search for ethical diamond alternatives have long been a passion for Vault Atelier founder, Kyle Partridge.

After studying finance, Kyle quickly moved into the architecture and design world, realising he needed a more creative path. He spent ten years building a career in that industry before deciding to follow what he now feels is his true calling.

From childhood, Kyle was captivated by his mother’s and grandmother’s jewellery Africa. As an adult, he continued that fascination, often dragging his partner to major jewellery houses like Cartier and Harry Winston just to admire the stones.

When he set out to create a custom piece for his sister’s birthday, Kyle discovered lab-grown alternatives to natural diamonds and gemstones, sparking a new and lasting passion. What began as creating pieces for family and friends soon grew into something more, and this year he began offering his sourcing and design support more widely.

Today, Kyle welcomes you to reach out and make use of his industry connections to source exceptional lab-grown stones and create bespoke, high-end jewellery, crafted with the confidence that every piece is socially and environmentally responsible. Working from his office in Australia, he uses only the finest lab-grown gems.
