Jewellers Vault is CLOSED to the public until Wednesday 24th August.

Open
Do you have any hand-me-down jewellery that you simply don’t wear anymore? While not necessarily wearable, jewellery passed from generation to generation is incredibly sentimental. This client came to us with the jewellery she inherited from her mother that she didn’t wear, and we combined it to make this incredible design. The princess diamond and platinum in the final product were elements of her mothers’ favourite piece, so we made it our mission to make these the stars of the show. The wave-like effect of the platinum reminds us to simply go with the flow, no matter what life throws at us.

Unique designs seem to be our staple here at Jewellers Vault! Yet another customer came to us with a fresh and unique design, some sentimental jewellery, and enough trust in us to choose Jewellers Vault to do the remake. We all know that “0” birthdays are kind of a big deal, so it should come as no surprise to you that this ring was designed by a husband for his wife for her 40th birthday. The husband knew exactly what he wanted when he came in, and brought a picture of a similar 3 ring set that he wanted to have made for his wife. He added some stones into the design and organised the colour pattern for the rings, making this ring truly unique. The 3 rings signify harmony, wisdom, and understanding, while the interlocking design indicates the everlasting love of a significant other. This client explained the significance of each individual ring to me before he had this ring made. The first is the enduring friendship bond that this lovely couple started before their marriage. The second ring represents the unquestionable loyalty they harbour for each other, and the third is the true love felt by both people. Don’t you just love reading about such adorable love stories? . . . . . . . #handmadejewellery #capalaba #jewellersvault #3tone #ring #goldring #lovestory #birthdaypresent #remake #redesign #RecycleJewellery #handmaderedlands #beforeandafter #uniquedesign

Do you know that feeling when you have yearned for something for so long and you finally get it? This client does! She came in to Jewellers Vault with a bag of gold and a plan. That plan was to make a solid gold bangle from all of her unworn and broken pieces of jewellery. She had dreamt of owning a solid gold bangle for as long as she could remember but could never justify buying one for herself. Eventually, she collected enough of her own gold to get one made and chose me to help her actualise her dreams. What makes this bangle so special is the sentimentality of the gold that has gone into making it, with the gifted earrings and handed down jewellery. The look on this clients’ face when she put her very own bangle on for the first time was one that I will never forget. It was a look of pure happiness and, honestly, stories like these are why I do what I do. . . . . . . . . . . #handmadejewellery #jewellersvault #capalaba #gold #bangle #reuse #beforeandafter #jewellery #handmade #handmaderedlands #recyclejewellery #goldbangle

Who loves a remake? I know I do!  Who loves a sentimental story? I know you do!  Wedding rings are irreplaceable signs of continuing love. Unfortunately, after years of wear, this couple’s ring came across some irreparable issues. They brought their beloved ring to Jewellers Vault, where  we decided it was time for a remake. I was tasked with reusing the stones and metal from the original ring to remake the original design. Keeping the sentimentality of the ring was this couples' top priority, so it quickly became mine, too.  The two-tone design of this ring symbolises the unity of two people, truly binding this couple’s love forever. Not to mention, it's super unique and looks amazing! Would you wear a two-tone wedding ring?

It is always heartbreaking to see pieces of jewellery sitting around the house that you simply don’t wear anymore. This client knows the feeling and decided to do something about it. She wanted to showcase each incredible piece of her old jewellery, so she came to visit us at Jewellers Vault. Together, we came up with a way to include all the parts of the rings she loved in such a way that none of the pieces got lost. My goodness I love watching the transformations of old jewellery into new pieces! #jewellersvault #handmade #gold #gemstones #remake #redesign #jewellery

Happy Birthday to all the August babies out there! The stone of the month is peridot 💚 With this year flying by as quickly as it has been, the peridot brings good health and balance to emotions and mind. Many also believe that the peridot inspires creativity, so use it to your advantage this month! Fun fact about peridot! Historical records link the emergence of peridot to ancient Egypt (right around 1,500 B.C.), leading it to become the national gem of Egypt more than 3,500 years later! #august #jewellersvault #peridot #gemstone #hearts #capalaba #newmonth #birthstone

Another gorgeous piece for a gorgeous client, this story was certainly a heart-melter! This client wanted to showcase all the meaningful moments in her life through the gemstones in this ring, with the birth months of her husband and children and anniversaries this lovely family have shared. Using the client’s sentimental gold, we made the ring and the swirls, which represent the eternal love in this family. We are honoured to have been chosen to remember all these special moments with you, and may there be many more happy memories to come! #handmade #gold #goldring #swirls #love #jewellersvault #beforeandafter #reuse #jewellery #shiny #family #gemstones

I often get asked about what kind of jewellery I wear. Well. While I’m at work, my job is actually very dirty, hands up if you’ve ever talked to me while I had black smudges on my face. Also, I find it very uncomfortable to wear jewellery at the bench, so I choose not to. Catch me out and about on a day off and…oh wait…I don’t have days off. On that, Jewellers Vault will be closed this week. I'm calling it Workbench Week! I'll be trying to catch up on all the work that's been pouring in since last year. Truth be told, I have changed my jewellery style a lot over the years. When I first began my career in jewellery, I always wore silver. Then I moved to yellow gold. These days, I love two tone, white and yellow in particular. I purposely wear a yellow chain with a white pendant and I love to wear both white and yellow rings on the same hand. Yes I break the rules of jewellery! But you know what? Isn’t that what jewellery is about? Wearing what you like. Wearing what makes you feel good. Wearing what you love. This leads me to this client, who was really unsure if a white gold pendant would suit a yellow chain. What do you think? Because I lOVE it. I say screw the rules when it comes to fashion and jewellery. You should wear what you love . . . . . . . . . . #2tone #diamondpendant #whiteyellow #handmade #handmadejewellery #diamond #pendant #necklace

Boy oh boy, does time fly by or what? Here we are…middle of May, already! Thank you for your patience and understanding as I work hard to get through the workload. I really appreciate your support. Writing these stories has taken a back seat lately because I haven’t been able to find the time to write them, so I’m going to try harder because I know you love reading them as much as I love hearing them! So on that note…check out this stunner! The client had 2 extremely sentimental rings, they were handed down to her through the family. She wanted to combine them into one. A symbol of the past and present combining. Something she could wear and love, that also reminds her of where the rings came from and the history they already carry. What a lovely way to cherish sentimental memories. Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault to bring your idea to life.  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #handmadering #handmadejewellery #handmade #reusejewellery #reuse #reusegold #recyclejewellery #recycledgold #recycleaustralia #recycle #upcycling #upcyclejewellery #upcycle #uniquejewellery #oneofakindjewellery #garnet #capalaba #birkdale #wellingtonpoint #redlands #redlandsanyday #redlandscoast

Sometimes we take our Mum's for granted, but you know what? They are always there for us. And I want to say thank you. Thank you to each and every Mum, you are amazing, strong and we love you.

Who loves champagne? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Who loves diamonds? 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ Who loves Jewellery? 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ Well this ring is all three! A central champagne diamond with a cascade of sparkling white diamonds either side enveloped in dazzling white gold! #diamondring #capalaba #handmadejewellery #whitegold What a redesign! For this gorgeous client, we were able to reuse her own white gold and diamonds and we did need to exchange her yellow for the extra white required. From this sentimental pile of rings, we handmade her new glittering treasure. I love that as she gazes upon her new ring, she can remember the history that went into creating it, any memories attached to the original jewellery is forever imbedded into the new piece.

May! Already! Can we please put a pause button on 2022? Happy Birthday Month to the lucky people who have Emerald as their birthstone! Did you know that throughout history Emerald has been a symbol of love and truth? Interestingly, emerald was said to be the gemstone of Venus, the goddess of love and hope while the Incas and Egyptians believed emeralds to be a source of eternal life! Some people believe that emeralds can eliminate free radicals in your body and promote health and vigour. I love the colours of emeralds, the bright and deep green always reminds me of nature, luscious grass and healthy tree foliage. Check out some of the stunning emerald pieces Jewellers Vault has had the pleasure of working with.  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #emeraldjewellery #emerald #may #maybirthstone #birthstone #emeraldformay #birthstones #birthstonejewellery #goldjewellery #whitegoldjewellery #handmade #handmadejewellery #madeinaustralia #australianmade

Sometimes we come across a client who loves their piece of jewellery so much, they don’t want to change it. Like this client, she adores her wedding ring, it’s been on her finger a lifetime, it’s seen her through the tough times and the brilliant times. When she gazes upon it, she recall all the significant moments that make up her life. It’s a wondrous thing to be able to simply lay eyes on a ring and have it conjure up memories from your life. So when she came to me with her ring so worn that we were not able to repair it, the solution seemed so simple. Reuse her own gold and diamonds and recreate her beloved wedding ring as it was all those years ago when she got married. What a perfect anniversary gift. Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault for your treasured jewellery.  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #remakejewellery #remake #handmadenecklace #handmadejewellery #handmadering #weddingring #goldring #whitegold #handmadeweddingring #capalababusiness #capalabasmallbusiness #capalaba #upcyclejewellery #recyclejewellery #recycledgold

I’ve been so busy working away that I completely forgot to share this bangle from before Christmas with you! The client and I have never met. She lives in Victoria and I am in Queensland. She and I ‘met’ online through Instagram. While this is not the first job I have done for her, it must have been hard to send jewellery half way across the country to someone you have never met and trust them to create something special just for you. I love the addition of the hammered finish here, it is a great way to add some interest and uniqueness to your handmade bangle. Do you have old jewellery, perhaps broken pieces, or simply items you no longer wear? Looking for ideas on how to make them into new wearable rings, bangles, pendants or earrings? Feel free to get in touch, we are already booking jobs for August. I would like to take a moment to say a huge thank you to everyone who puts their trust in me, near and far. And to those patiently waiting for their pieces to be completed, I am working on them. I really appreciate your patience and as soon as your pieces are ready we will phone you and let you know. A sincere thank you for your support. 💎 Claudia 💎 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #handmadeinaustralia #handmadebangle #goldbangle #reusejewellery #recyclejewellery #reuse #reuaerecyclerestyle #restylejewellery #handmadebrisbane #handmadejewellery #capalaba #smallbusiness #supportlocalbusiness #shoplocal

This client was looking for an eye-catching dress ring, created from her own sentimental old gold and stones. I love it when a client comes into Jewellers Vault with sentimental jewellery. I love hearing the stories attached to the pieces, who wore them, how they ended up with their current owner and why they would like to redesign them. The stories are always unique to each piece and each client. I wonder if that’s part of why I love my job so much, the fact that every single job is different and unique. The way that no two designs are the same because no two clients ever have the same stones. Do you own sentimental jewellery? Would you redesign it? Some clients choose not to, they decide to restore worn and broken pieces instead. Jewellers Vault can help whichever way you decide is best for you. Thank you to this client for trusting Jewellers Vault to create such an amazing piece for her to wear with pride.  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #emeraldjewellery #handmadeemeraldring #emerald #emeraldring #handmadering #handmadejewellery #handmadejewellerydesign #jewellerydesign #oneofakind #oneofakindjewellery #uniquejewellery #uniquejewelry #recyclejewellery #reusejewellery #diamonds #diamondring #diamondjewellery #handmadediamondjewellery

While I may have been very quiet here online, I have been working hard in the workshop. I want to take a moment to let you all know that I sincerely appreciate your patience as I work through an absolute mountain of work. I am still behind and am working 7 days a week to get through it. Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support and patience, it means the world to me that I can spend my days creating your beautiful jewellery. And while I'm talking about beautiful jewellery, how about this pair of stunning earrings!!! The husband approached Jewellers Vault because he wanted to create the perfect pair of diamond drop earrings for his wife to celebrate their Anniversary. I had to keep this pair a secret until I found out they had been received and they were considered the perfect gift! So now I can share them 🙂 Thank you for trusting Jewellers Vault. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #handmadeinaustralia #handmadejewellery #handmadeearrings #whitegoldearrings #whitegold #whitegolddiamondearrings #handmade #handmadebrisbane #handmadeinbrisbane #dropearrings #capalababusiness #capalaba #shopsmall #supportlocalbusiness #supportlocal

Now this ring must be one of my favourite sentimental pieces! The clients came to Jewellers Vault looking to redesign some sentimental jewellery and among the items they wanted to create was a piece that represents family. What a better way than this. The diamond represents the couple themselves, strong and beautiful like a diamond, symbolic of their relationship and lives together. Then, as you turn the ring (if the stamps are readable to the holder, turn the ring to your left) you will find a precious gemstone for each of their children, laid out in the order they were born, 2 girls, a boy, 3 more girls and then the final son, which brings us back to the centre, the diamond! Kinda perfect. Who am I kidding, very perfect! Thank you for trusting Jewellers Vault with such a special piece. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #familyheirloom #familyjewellery #familyjeweller #family #handmadejewellery #handmade #uniquejewellery #oneofakind #oneofakindjewellery #madebyhand #redlandsanyday #redlandsbusiness #redlandshandmade #handmaderedlands #ruby #diamond #sapphire #jewelleryformums #mumjewellery

Eeek! What a wonderful ring set! The client came to Jewellers Vault for two reasons; 1.       She wanted an eternity ring made 2.       She had lost more diamonds from her engagement ring. The engagement ring had lost a few over the years, upon inspection, the band was very thin and really not strong enough to hold the diamonds. Unfortunately, the ring was too weak to repair so Jewellers Vault suggested that the ring be remade, handmade and created to withstand the duties of an engagement ring. The client still loved the overall look of her original engagement ring, so we recreated a similar stronger version. And here we are, a stunning set, wedding, engagement and eternity rings, matching, and created in a likeness to the original beloved set and the best part, created from the same gold and diamonds the client’s husband originally proposed with. And, my favourite part, he sneakily contacted Jewellers Vault and organised to collect them in secret for her so he could surprise her with them! I do love a sneaky jewellery surprise! Lucky I can keep a secret hey 😉 Thank you for trusting Jewellers Vault to create this stunning set for you. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #diamonds #engagementring #diamondring #weddingrings #ringset #completeringset #handmadeinaustralia #handmanufactured #handmadejewellery #madebyhand #madeinaustralia #jewellerymadeinaustralia

Congratulations to this gorgeous couple who recently got engaged! And how about that engagement ring? Wow, just wow! What a design! I’ve always said I love it when clients bring their own ideas to the design desk. It adds a whole new level of personal to the finished piece. And that is exactly how this design desk discussion took place. The client had a general idea in mind, it was my job to draw it out of her head and put it down on paper. Once she okayed the design, I set about creating her one off, unique and handmade engagement ring. What does this ring make you think of? For me, it conjures images of the galaxy, stars in the night sky. I find that rather fitting for a young couple embarking on the journey of life together, hand in hand with the whole world, galaxies and all in front of them, teeming with possibilities. Thank you for trusting Jewellers Vault to create such an extraordinary symbol of your commitment to each other. And congratulations again on your engagement! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #engagementring #engagement #brisbaneengagement #diamonds #diamondring #galaxy #whitegold #handmadeinaustralia #handmadering #handmadejewellery #handmadejewellerydesign #jewellerydesign #custommade #customjewellery #uniquejewellery #oneofakind #oneofakindjewellery

Eeek! How beautiful are these rings? The client came to Jewellers Vault with a collection of old gold, some sapphires and diamonds. She wanted to know if we could create 4 rings with extra special meaning. One ring is for herself, a memento of life, a ring that has been created from the gold she collected over a lifetime, a piece to treasure and wear every day. Then, she decided that a wonderful gift for her daughters would be to create a similar ring for each. A piece that would connect them all, across the globe and across life. A ring for each to cherish, as she cherishes each one of them. A treasure they could each admire that will conjure memories of the family, regardless of what life throws at them, regardless of the time and space between them. It is truly an honour to be tasked with such meaningful pieces of jewellery.
