bespoke
We are local, artisan, manufacturing jewellers. We have an interesting and unique range of ready made jewellery available, and we can custom make almost anything that your heart desires!
Antique & vintage enamel
Rowena has been collecting antique and vintage Scandinavian and European enamel jewellery for over 30 years. She loves blue or yellow flowers, leaves and butterflies and anything which represents the natural world.
Sustainably sourced opals
Our opals are sourced from a small family business with deep Australian roots and a commitment to using the best sustainable practices during the entire opal handling process. Knowing the origin of these special gemstones is very important to us, and we always choose vibrant solid opals with beautiful colour to use in our jewellery.
