Jewellers Vault will be CLOSED until Monday 30th May

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

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.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

To all the Mum's out there, fur Mum's, people Mum's all types and styles of Mum I hope you had a lovely day surrounded by your family.

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.

I think nothing sums up Mother's Day better than this pendant, one side says "Our love for you is like this ring" the other side says "It has no beginning and no end"

❤️❤️❤️

Happy Mother's Day!

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!

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.

Thank you for trusting Jewellers Vault with your jewellery transformation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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. Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault.

This client entrusted Jewellers Vault with her gold, some diamonds and an idea.

She has a treasured ring and has always cherished the detail at the edges of the settings, she was hoping to create a new ring, from her old white gold band and family diamonds.

This was both a fun and slightly scary job as we didn’t really discuss exactly how the finished ring would look, the client trusted us completely with the design.

The brief was to use the client’s white gold and diamonds to create a ring that somehow, in some way, reflects the details she adores on her beloved ring.

I love that the client was so trusting, and her response, when she opened the box across the desk from me, “Oh my goodness! It’s gorgeous! Even better than I imagined!” Now that’s a response I love to hear!

Thank you for trusting Jewellers Vault with your sentimental Jewellery.

Yip Yip!

A unique engagement ring, handmade with stunning coloured gemstones!

What a lovely colour combination this client selected for his future wife.

Did you know that we can source gemstones if you don’t already have what you are looking for?

When it came time for this client to create an engagement ring, as a local, he chose a local qualified jeweller for the job. He came to Jewellers Vault looking for something different.

After our initial meeting Jewellers Vault was able to source a selection of gemstones in varying sizes and shades for the client to select the perfect ones to propose with.

Congratulations to the happy couple and thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault to create such a wonderful treasure for you.

Life throws us curveballs every now and again. You know the kind, the ones you would never see coming in a million years. The kind that take away a loved one. The sad kind. The hard kind.

We all get them. Growing up I always heard that life only gives you what you can handle. That tough times just make you a stronger person and teach you a lesson. As an adult, I’m not sold on the lesson part, but I am sold on the making you a stronger person or even that tough times and curve balls show you just how strong you really are.

My heart goes out to this family, while its not my story to tell, I wanted to show you that Jewellery is often a token of remembrance. It is often something beautiful created to remember the good times and to cherish memories.

These bracelets were originally designed as a gift from a mother for herself and her daughters as tokens of life. Pieces created from a treasured collection of sentimental gold and stones, then life threw the family a curveball and they became so much more.

The fingerprint of a beloved and dearly missed family member is eternally engraved on the back of each bracelet, a cherished memory attached to each. The emotion and heartbreak of losing a loved one will not go away so this family chose to ingrain their favourite memories into their bracelets.

I’m sure for many months, the bracelets shall evoke sadness and loss however one day they shall conjure the very best of memories and love.

Over a lifetime we collect things.

Sometimes, we collect things on purpose 😉 who’s got a teaspoon collection? Mine has always been keyrings.

Anyway, other times, we don’t even realise we are collecting, until one day, we go to the jewellery box and it’s overflowing with things we no longer wear.

Some pieces might be sentimental hand-me-downs, others a cheap, on a whim purchase that broke too soon.

When that fateful day arrives, and you realise you have a jewellery box full of unworn jewellery, what will you do with it?

Perhaps, like this client, you’ll visit us here at Jewellers Vault and begin your own Jewellery Transformation.

After some design discussions, drawings, tossing around ideas, the client fell in love with this design. The amethyst front and centre, surrounded by a galaxy of mesmerising gemstones. What a beautiful colour burst, quite the statement ring.

Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault to create such a treasure.

Boy oh boy! This piece!

The client came to Jewellers Vault with a beautiful idea. She wanted to create a piece of jewellery to wear that had the names of her children on it or at least symbolised her children.

We went over several ideas and were headed down the path of the circle pendants with names. Although, she was hoping to incorporate a sentimental diamond as well. As I began thinking of ideas, I received a message, she had come up with this amazing idea!

What if, the pendant had more meaning that just the kids? What if we could create a circle, the universal symbol representing eternity, wholeness, never ending love. Then add to it, circles for each child, the circle showing a mother’s never-ending love, the diamond, also set in a circle, do you see the theme here?

Anyone recognise the last charm hanging on the pendant? Let’s see who can guess it correctly, along with it’s meaning to this client.

Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault to bring this brilliant idea to life.

This client came in after a bad experience at another jeweller. She was pretty nervous to trust someone else and I completely understand. Once you have been burned it is difficult to trust again.

She loves this ring, it was a gift from a very special person and as such, it is one f her prized pieces.

Unfortunately, the repair work done on it, meant that I couldn’t fix the issues. The only option for this ring was a remake. This does make me sad because I like to offer options to my clients. However, there is a little glimmer of lightness in this story because while the ring needed to be taken apart and completely remade, here at Jewellers Vault we specialise in using what you already have, both metal and stones.

I often hear how a client was told their metal couldn’t be reused, this is not true. It can. It takes years of technique practice, the ability to learn and adapt your methods and the patience to try. I have spent my entire almost 7 years here at Jewellers Vault using client’s metal and stones.

Just like here for this client, we separate the stones from the metal, melt down the original gold, handmake the new piece and set the client’s own stones back into their original gold. Sometimes, like for this piece, we needed to add some new gold to the mix, this is predominately because the original ring was quite worn out and thin.

And voila! A new old ring! The client didn’t want to change the style so we remade the new ring the same, just not worn away! Perfect for another lifetime on her hand.

Thank you for trusting Jewellers Vault with your treasure and hopefully I have restored your faith in Jewellers again.

Eeek! I love this ring!

This long-standing client of Jewellers Vault has been looking to redesign her 3 ring set into one.

Sometimes, for various reasons, clients decide to update their jewellery. Sure, I hear you say, just go buy a new one, however, that is kind of wasteful. I mean, what, just keep buying new pieces and let the others collect dust, or worse, just throw them out?

No way, reuse and recycle what you already have my friend!

Especially if each of the pieces you are using have a history and memories all their own. Special moments in time that you recall when you wear them. Often, wearing a piece of jewellery once owned by your great grandmother makes a person feel closer to that soul, like you're still connected even if they are no longer here.

Wearing a piece with memories makes the miles feel less far as well. You might be half a world away from your loved one, but I bet you think of them the second you touch that necklace they bought you. I bet the memories and emotions wash over you like waves at the beach!

Thank you very much for choosing Jewellers Vault to bring your vision to life.
