Jewellers Vault will be CLOSED from 4pm Wednesday 19th January until 10am Thursday 27th January.

How beautiful are these necklaces?

This client came to Jewellers Vault with sentimental gold and an idea.

It was her vision to create 4 necklaces for her four children, each one set with a sentimental diamond and created from sentimental gold.

What an amazing piece for each of her children to cherish, and you know what else? Each pendant has a little secret!

Each pendant is hand engraved on the back! Such a perfect gift for your children right?

The thing I love most about pieces like this is how no matter how far and wide their lives take them, each child is forever connected to the others and their mother by their jewellery. Regardless of kilometers of years, each child will always be reminded of their loved ones by one piece of jewellery.

Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault to bring your idea to life.

Do you remember the story of the imperfect heart pendant?

The story goes a little along the lines of how the client saw a drawing of a perfectly imperfect heart and feel so much in love with it, that she had it tattooed on her wrist. The idea is that life isn't perfect, love isn't perfect and we aren't perfect but there is immense beauy in that. A remarkable beauty that transcends the idea of perfection and is all the more appealing because of the flaws. A lot like us, our lives and our loves.

After we created her heart in gold, the client returned with a silver heart ring and some gold (the rings and bracelet). While drawn to the heart shape, the ring was so thin and flimsy it constantly bent out of shape.

We decided to make something thicker and sturdier out of the client’s sentimental gold. And we made it imperfect, to compliment her pendant. A wonderful use for her sentimental gold and a stunning piece to add to her collection of meaningful jewellery.

What about the earrings, you ask? Well, they were created in the same image of an imperfect heart, each one set with a special diamond. And while the client kept one, the other was sent all the way to Germany for her Mum to treasure!

Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault to create such individual and sentimental pieces!

Do you have old jewellery that you don’t wear?

Jewellery that is sitting in the bottom of a jewellery box somewhere.

What is the point of it sitting there gathering dust when you could have it made into a fantastic new piece that you will want to wear?

This client came to Jewellers Vault with exactly this thought!

She brought in her old jewellery, we went through some design ideas and chatted about her style which led to us creating this stunning design together! A huge bonus for this client is that there are no more claws for her to worry about catching and breaking off, if you look closely at the before photo, you’ll notice there are some holes where diamonds used to be!

What a lovely way to turn sentimental jewellery that you don’t wear anymore into something you’ll want to wear every day!

Thank you for trusting Jewellers Vault to bring your design to life!

The tradition of handing down sentimental jewellery from generation to generation is one that has been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years.

It’s such a special moment when you are handed something as special as a piece of jewellery, treasured by your ancestors, that is now entrusted to you.

Jewellers Vault was trusted to create this loving couple’s wedding rings a few years ago and when they found out their family of two was about to become three, they again reached out to Jewellers Vault for the next special piece of family jewellery.

The client had the wonderful idea of creating a special ring to wear from the moment her son was born, to eventually hand down to him.

The engraving on the ring comes from the design of the client’s wedding ring, which was originally inspired by engraving on a treasured family ring, designed to complement the wedding ring but not overpower it. The trick with this ring was to balance the femininity with masculinity, so both mother and son can wear the ring.

Emeralds are known as a symbol of truth and love and believed to be a source of eternal life by the Egyptians. The vivid green of an emerald is said to evoke feelings of abundance and is associated with refreshment, peace, rest and security.

Such a wonderful choice of stone for a mother to give her son.

Have you ever had jewellery made and it didn’t turn out the way you expected?

Sadly, it’s a story we hear quite often. There seems to be quite a bit of lost communication when you don’t get to speak to the person who will actually make your jewellery. There also seems to be a discussion without drawings or pictures, just a discussion, then the piece is made but somewhere along the way alterations are conducted but someone forgot to tell the client.

At Jewellers Vault, we work differently. You sit with the jeweller and discuss your ideas. You can pick their brain, ask any questions you like while we figure out your style and work on ideas together.

The next phase of a design is the drawing, yes, we old school hand draw ideas for you in true size. Over the years we have discovered that this method gives the client the clearest idea of how their jewellery will look. Plus, as an old school handmake workshop, is there any other way?

It’s because of these methods that we can help clients who have had a bad experience elsewhere. Just like this client.

Her ring never quite looked the way she wanted, so when she decided to redesign it, she decided that she would create one ring from her engagement and wedding set. She added in some extra gold from a single earring too.
And Voila. Here we have it, the new ring!

Thank you for trusting Jewellers Vault to bring your idea to life!

Have you ever bought a lovely gold piece of jewellery and fallen in love with it, only for it to turn out to be gold plated? Becoming a silver colour that is nowhere near the gorgeous gold colour that the piece was originally?

This happened to our client’s daughter and the beautiful necklace and pendant that she wore constantly from the moment she got it.

Our client came in looking to make a new pendant, one the same as the original, except made of real gold. To make the piece even more special, she wanted to use her own sentimental gold to create the new necklace.

Stars represent many different things in many different cultures; guidance, both physical and spiritual, protection and motivation. So a star set diamond was the perfect addition to the simple pendant.

The client also had another daughter and enough old gold and stones, so she had us make two! One for each daughter.

This is so wonderful because it creates a connection between the client and their two daughters. Showing no matter what happens in life, no matter where they go, they will always be connected.

Thank you for trusting Jewellers Vault to create such special pieces of jewellery.

Did you know that nests are symbols of home, representing the commitment, love and effort required to build a home?
They are also a good luck symbol.

There’s a legend that can be traced back to Iceland, Sweden and Germany that finding a bird’s nest amongst the branches of your Christmas tree will bring health, happiness, friendship, and good luck.

This customer had some lovely pink pearls and wanted to make something with them for her sister’s birthday.

The client decided that she wanted something reminiscent of a nest, and Jewellers Vault was happy to oblige.

The result is these wonderful earrings with wire wrapped around the pearls, bringing to mind a nest carefully crafted by a bird for their family.

Thank you for trusting Jewellers Vault to bring your idea to life!

Boy oh boy!
It has been a busy year around here!
Can you believe that tomorrow is December?

Someone asked me the other day, do you like Christmas? I had to think long and hard about that, do you know why? It’s a very stressful time in the shop. I try to get all the jobs done, work crazy long and exhausting days and each year I’m here in the workshop 7 days a week working away.
But.

That is the lead up to Christmas, not Christmas itself, Christmas itself I love. I get to sleep in, take a day off work and most importantly to me, spend time with my family. You see, they barely see me from August until Christmas Eve. So, my answer, despite the stress in the lead up, is YES, I love Christmas. What about you? How do you celebrate?

While I’m talking about family, let me share this gorgeous bangle with you.
This piece now lives in America. It was created from the client’s collection of bits and pieces. A collection gathered over a lifetime. Each piece has a memory all its own.

This client hadn’t seen her daughter for two years because her daughter lives in America and earlier this year, she made the decision to pack up her life here and head across the ocean to America and her family. She has been a loyal client of Jewellers Vault from the beginning and I thank her from the bottom of my heart.

Did you grow up admiring your Mum’s jewellery?

My mum never really wore any, but I used to look through her jewellery box and imagine that one day I might own two of her favourite rings, one a pearl and ruby, the other a little blue sapphire.

This client grew up admiring the sapphire ring on her mother’s hand every day. It was quite a unique ring, the stone was set sideways, rather distinct in its design. She not only loved the way the sapphire sat lengthways across the finger, she also adored the very dark, almost black colour of the stone.

She came to Jewellers Vault earlier this year to see if we could source the sapphire she had desired since her childhood. Guess what?

We found the perfect stone! An Australian sapphire, mined and cut within Australia. The client was gifted the gold from her husbands wedding ring to create her perfect dress ring!

And voila, here she is!

Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault to bring your idea to life!

Ok, who loves a good sentimental story?

This one might require some tissues!

A few years ago, a lady dropped by Jewellers Vault, she asked a few questions and when we could repair a piece of treasured Jewellery that many other Jewellers told her was impossible, she decided that Jewellers Vault was now her only jeweller.

A few years ago she commissioned a ring to be made for her only daughter, it incorporated the birthstones of both parents and the daughter. The daughter loved the design and adores the ring.

It was quite suddenly that the Mum became sick and then passed away. It was a very sad time, she wasn’t going to see her daughter get married or have children, she wasn’t going to be here to call after her daughter had a bad day at work, a life was ripped away from the planet and left a hole in so many hearts, especially her daughters.

As the only child, the daughter inherited the jewellery her mum had spent a lifetime collecting.

There was so much jewellery that the daughter decided that she would transform it into one prized piece that held sentimental meaning beyond words. The bangle design was created around the Mum’s favourite ring, a garnet piece that resembled a flower. The bangle was designed to replicate features of the daughter’s ring the Mum had so lovely created. The message engraved inside the bangle, the last words a heart broken daughter heard her mother utter. Every part of this design was thought out and planned with great care and respect for one of the kindest and most caring people I have ever known.

Thank you to the daughter for not only trusting me with this project, but also giving me the time I required to create something so special.

This client’s husband came to Jewellers Vault looking for some earrings that would go with this pendant.

Initially we settled upon some stunning studs, however when the client wore the studs, they seemed somehow lost and honestly failed to enhance the beauty of the pendant she so dearly loved.

And so, we set about redesigning the studs into more of a matching set, earrings that mimic the shape and romance the pendant conjures. White gold, tanzanite drop earrings are more befitting of such a stunning pendant don’t you think?

I am delighted to share with you this huge transformation!

The client came to Jewellers Vault with a fabulous idea! She wanted to redesign her Jewellery and create one, rather substantial, wedding ring for herself and a new hammered finish wedding ring for her husband.

What an amazing way to use up your old and broken jewellery!

I love how the river polished gold snakes it’s way between all the diamonds in this design, I think the client did a fabulous job of design.

Thank you for trusting Jewellers Vault to bring your vision to life.

How many diamonds do you think are in this beauty?

Sometimes, clients come to Jewellers Vault without gold. Sometimes, they come in with some treasured gemstones and an idea.

This is always just as much fun!

Not having your own gold allows you to choose the colour of gold you prefer, for this client, that was rose gold. Rose gold may not appeal to everyone but for this client, it was the perfect choice for her precious gemstones.

Following her designs, Jewellers Vault created both the pendant and ring in rose gold and set the client’s own stones in the new pieces. I particularly love how the pendant cascades in size from smallest to largest not to be outdone by the combination of blue sapphires and white diamond nestled into the highly polished finish of the rose gold ring.

Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault to bring your ideas to life.

Eeek!

Who loves pearls?

Did you know that pearls are making a comeback and are set to be one of the hottest trends of Summer?

From studs, to necklaces and bracelets, pearls are even featuring in jewellery for men, spotted on the likes of Pharrell Williams, Harry Styles and many other celebrities.

This beautiful set are not for a man, they are a treasured set of Tahitian Pearls owned by the client.

Jewellers Vault was tasked to create a matching set of organic styled pieces using the client’s own gold.

And voila! There we are!

Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault.

Yip Yip!

How about this gorgeous handmade white gold pendant 😍😍😍

The design for this pendant was developed around family. Each of the birthstones are for one family member, Mum, Dad and the children.

The single continuous band that weaves its way over and under each setting, encompassing every birthstone with a hug (insert loving sigh) can be tied back to the theory that love is eternal and has no beginning or end.

The outline is obviously a heart, created to represent the emotional connection we feel for our family.

Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault to create such a special pendant.

Happy Birthday and Anniversary to this special lady!

What a way to celebrate, with a unique handmade ring, using her own gold and stones.

I’m yet to meet this lovely lady as she lives interstate however this is the second job Jewellers Vault has completed for her and she has already booked in the third!

The process from initial contact through design to the final piece has not been hindered by the distance. Working with clients I’ve never met was never on my radar, I always just imagined that clients would walk instore, we would discuss their needs and progress from there.

Thank you for trusting Jewellers Vault to bring your ideas to life and wishing you a very happy birthday and Anniversary too!

This was such an awesome job to be a part of!

You know me, anything sentimental and I’m in. When this client approached Jewellers Vault, she wanted to create a very special ring for her partner. His 50th birthday was on the horizon, and she really wanted to create something sentimental.

Using her own gold we created this brilliant ring. Not only is it handmade exclusively using some treasured gold, the coil was also specifically design to have 4 sections across the top of the ring to symbolise the couple’s 4 children.

It is always an honor to be chosen to create a special piece of jewellery and when the sentimental meaning behind ideas is exposed like this, it gives me goosebumps.

Thank you all for your support of my passion. It means the world to me that I can create memories with such emotion attached. I truly adore my job and feel blessed that I stumbled into the world of Jewellery 19 years ago.

Yikes!
Another piece brimming with sentimental emotion for the client!

When a relative passes on those that are left behind have it hard. Everywhere you look are memories and moments frozen in time. Moments that you will never have a second chance at. Conversations you might regret, or conversations you never got to have. Eventually you remember the good things, the memories that bring a smile to your face. The moments you wouldn’t change for the world! The times you laughed so hard you cried. The moments you just sat and stared, knowing exactly what the other person was thinking.

These memories are the best. They may bring a tear to your eyes but they also bring the smiles. These are the memories we endeavour to conjure for you when you trust us to recreate your sentimental jewellery. Just like this client.

She and her mother came to us with some very sentimental family rings. They were looking to have one special ring made with the gold and some of the diamonds. A ring to cherish the memory of a grandmother no longer with them. A treasure to gaze upon and reminisce of all the good times.

Thank you for trusting Jewellers Vault to create this extra special treasure for you.
