JEWELLERS VAULT WILL BE CLOSED FOR THE LOCKDOWN, FOLLOWED BY EASTER. WE WILL BE BACK OPEN ON TUESDAY 6TH APRIL.

Quick Note: Jewellers Vault will be closed Monday 12th April for a personal matter, see you on Tuesday.

And now feast your eyes upon a recent redesign project for a lovely client.

We were able to use a collection of gold from the client's jewellery box, pieces collected over a lifetime, some gifts, some broken or unworn items and a bag of gold filings from a previous job.

The client had more than enough gold to create her special family pendant. One circle for each of her children and husband with the grandchildren on the other side 😉 there's even room for some future babies 😉

Did you know a circle has special meaning in many cultures? Including the belief that circles represent life itself, so intertwining three circles that represent family members can be seen as a tribute to life and family, two things that are highly regarded as being of great importance.

Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault.

Have you ever longed for a particular piece of jewellery that exists only in your imagination?

Something you wish you owned but no matter how far and wide you search, you can’t find it anywhere?

You may be able to find a similar piece of jewellery but it’s just not the same and doesn’t bring you the same joy and happiness as you gaze upon it.

That’s where Jewellers Vault comes in! We can help you get that idea out of your head and into reality!

We can source the perfect gemstone, guide you through the metal options and advise you on which will be best for your unique piece of jewellery.

Just like we did for this client! She came to us with an idea. A style of ring that she fell in love with. After an initial chat she settled upon creating the ring in rose gold and Jewellers Vault sourced a black spinel for her centre stone.

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

If you have an idea of your own let’s book an appointment and have a chat about your options.

What a better post to take us into Easter than a stunning diamond set bangle created from gold and diamonds the client had in her jewellery box!

It’s always such a pleasure to hear the stories of your gold and stones.

Whether it’s a collection of Great Grandma’s chain, Grandma’s earrings and Mum’s rings or sentimental gifts from your husband, collected over your life together, most Jewellery has a beautiful story.

It’s one of the great things I love about my job, listening to you share your stories and the meaning that your jewellery holds to you. Then being able to transform pieces you don’t wear into something you will cherish and love!

Thank you for your continued support and Happy Easter to all of you! Hope you spend some time with family and enjoy each other’s company.

Imagine being able to combine two things you love forever, with an unparalleled bond.

Imagine, on your wedding day, not only do you marry the person of your dreams but you commit your life to them with a ring made from the gold of your family history?

The gold your ancestors wore.

The gold handed down to you, treasured by the generations before you.

A wedding day is a special day. We can help you add to the sentiment on the say, by creating your wedding ring from your own gold, just like we did for this client.

Wedding rings in their own right are sentimental and highly treasured, imagine if yours carried with it, the history and stories of generations past.

Have you ever lost a gemstone out of your jewellery?

Often this happens because of something called wear and tear.

Wear and tear happens slowly over time. As we wear our jewellery we knock it and bump it, sometimes scratch it on things. It’s normal but it does have an effect on the jewellery. If you have claws holding your stones in, you should have them checked annually. It doesn’t take much to snag a worn claw on a towel and rip the claw right off, in a lot of cases the stones goes flying too and the truth is you may never have noticed doing it! It’s not until next time you look down at you ring and gasp at the hole where a stone used to be.

Bezels can withstand more wear and tear than claws but you should still have them checked regularly. By keeping an eye on any wear and tear we can help you stay ahead of that frightful feeling of looking down to see your stone missing!

In other news, if you have lost a stone, we offer complimentary quotes on repairing or replacing the setting and missing stone.

This while this client didn't lose her stone her ring showed too much wear and tear for us to simply repair it, we had to remake the whole engagement ring. At Jewellers Vault we know your jewellery is precious to you, so we re-use your metal and stones to create the new ring, just like we did for this client.

And voila! There you have it, a new sentimental ring, the same and also different, ready for another lifetime of wear and love.

Thank you for choosing Jeweller Vault.

Oh man! I love telling this story!

The client came to Jewellers Vault with a ring and chain. These pieces were a sentimental gift from her beloved Grandma. The client wanted to know if we could help turn them into a new set of stacker rings, there was however one small hurdle…

The gold from Grandma is all yellow gold and the client only wears white gold or silver!

So what to do?

Well, sometimes you must think outside the box. It would be easy to say “No, can’t do it!”
Or, “Well let’s trade your gold in and supply you with new white gold”
HOWEVER
I’ve never been one for taking the easy road!

The truth is there are actually two solutions to create white rings from yellow gold. The first is that we can refine the yellow gold back to pure gold and then alloy it into white gold. While possible, it’s time consuming and more costly than option two.
Which is to use the gold from Grandma, make the rings in yellow and then rhodium plate the finished new rings!

Yes, the client will need to have this regularly done to keep the rings looking white (we suggest an average of once every 12-24 months for best results) but this solution seems like the best of both worlds in this case.

Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault.

Ok Ok it's time for the big reveal.

There was actually one person on Facebook and no-one on Instagram who guessed this gemstone correctly!

It was a tricky one, the truth is, this gemstone isn't normally this particular shade of green!

This client came in to Jewellers Vault looking for a very special gemstone to gift to his wife for their upcoming anniversary.

He was looking for a...
Tsavorite Garnet!!!

Typically tsavorite is a much darker and deeper shade of green, however this stone grabbed his attention and screamed that it was the perfect stone for his wife.

Happy Anniversary and thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault.

Thank you to everyone for playing along with our Guess the Gemstone game, hope you had fun.

Guess the gemstone!

It's time for a little game.

Since our last Guess the Gemstone post, we've had a flood of messages asking if we can do it again, well ask and you shall receive!

Now I know that you know this ring has a story, and we will get to that later on, when we reveal the identity of this beautiful gemstone.

For now, have a guess, what do you think this gemstone is?

💚💚💚

P.S. Don't you just love the shape? 😍

One of the most common tasks performed at Jewellers Vault is a check, clean and polish.

One of the most common questions asked is “Is it worth it?”

I guess the truth is only you can answer that question. To each of us, different things are worth doing while other things are not.

What I can tell you is:

💎 There are no products you can buy that achieve the same result a qualified jeweller can achieve.

💎 We check your settings for wear and tear, most clients don’t know how to do this effectively and wait until a stone falls out. We can show you any damage and guide you through the repair options.

💎 You can often have your jewellery back the same day because the work is done onsite.

💎 Rhodium plating is also done onsite.

💎 At Jewellers Vault you speak to a qualified Jeweller who will answer any questions you have.

And probably the most effective way of convincing you it is worth having your jewellery cleaned by a professional are before and after photos, so here you go, enjoy the satisfied feeling of clean jewellery!

By now, you probably know that I’m a sucker for a sentimental story.

I love hearing about your families, your past, the stories that pass from one generation to the next alongside treasured jewellery.

And, to be truthful, I often imagine the new stories and memories that will one day attach themselves to the pieces we redesign at Jewellers Vault. The life ahead for that new ring or pendant. The moments it will witness, the loss and love it will behold.

Just like this pair of matching rings, handmade for a lovely couple recently. Created from their own gold and hand engraved with an incredibly special date.

Dates hold special significance for all of us. There are many reasons to put a date on your jewellery, maybe a birthdate, maybe the date someone passed away, or maybe the date that your life changed forever.

The date you wouldn’t change for the world. The date two people became inseparable.
What a momentous token of a life and love shared by two, well a pair of tokens to be precise.

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

Do you remember seeing this ring last year?

Short re-cap, a client in WA contacted Jewellers Vault and asked if we could help create a new and very sentimental wedding ring for her husband from old gold.

She sent the gold over and we sourced birthstones, one for each of their 4 beautiful children.

When hubby received his new ring, he was so in love with it and the whole idea of the kids birthstones in there that he secretly contacted Jewellers Vault and asked if we could create a matching one for his wife for their upcoming anniversary!

How adorable!
Of course we could, and here it is!

Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault from all the way across Australia!

Oh how I love this pendant!
The client came in with a selection of old diamond jewellery.

She wanted to know if we could come up with a way to use all the stones in a pendant, ideally a bow!

While it was not easy to work with such a selection of sizes a little perseverance and perhaps my stubborn streak 😉 and we got there!

A wonderful way to re-use treasured diamonds don’t you think?

Jewellers Vault is CLOSED today.

Back tomorrow, Friday 26th February.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Creating an engagement ring is an incredibly special moment.

Engagement rings symbolise the moment in life when you and your partner embark upon a journey that combines two lives together forever. A journey like no other. Engagement rings symbolise the commitment between two people who want to spend the rest of their lives together.

As a Jeweller, let me tell you that it is an honour for someone to choose you to create such a special ring. And when you get to create both engagement rings for a couple, well that’s next level amazing.

While these two beautiful women prepare for their wedding day, join me in sending them huge Congratulations and all the very best wishes for their future together.

Now please excuse me, I have to get back to creating their wedding rings 😉

Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault.

Boy oh Boy!
How fast is February flying by?
Here’s a stunning piece to brighten your Thursday!

The client came in with a highly treasured blue topaz. As she told the story of its origins, it was clear the bond she shared with her grandad. While he is no longer walking this earth with us, he will forever remain in his granddaughter’s heart and mind.

You see, her granddad cut this stone.

What a wondrous treasure to own. While it is special to own such a treasure, imagine being able to wear it!

The client had a vision for her new ring and Jewellers Vault was there to help her create it. In order to achieve the look the client was after, and to help keep the stone safe, the corners were recut by our master gemcutter. Jewellers Vault was also able to source some beautiful smoky quartz to complete the design.

Handmade in exquisite yellow gold, this charming ring will no doubt become a family heirloom, treasured and passed down through the generations along with treasured memories and stories of a beloved grandad.

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

Hehehe

I’ve been keeping a secret!

What else is new I hear you say? 🤣

I was tasked by an extended family member to help him create the perfect engagement ring for his beloved!

We worked together to come up with this stunning engagement ring, created from the very same gold and gemstones that his fiancé’s grandmother once wore!

I adore that this ring, while new, it was created from a rich history and contains such precious memories of family and a beloved grandmother watching on from beyond the grave.

Join me in sending huge congratulations to the newly engaged couple and wishing them a lifetime of happiness together!

Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault and enjoy the next phase of your life together!

Do you like emeralds?

This client has longed for a natural emerald to add to her collection for the longest time. Pre-covid, she was overseas on a holiday and came across an emerald and diamond ring. She was mesmerised by the emerald. She instantly fell in love with the gemstone.

She decided that even though she didn’t love the ring as a whole, the emerald was worth the purchase.

She was not a fan of the small claws on the emerald, the band was quite flimsy and the settings for the diamonds seemed tacked on, like an afterthought, so we set about a little re-designing work. Keeping a similar overall style, Jewellers Vault created a larger style of claw setting for the emerald, beautiful semi-bezel settings for the diamonds and a pinched-up band to really showcase the gemstones.

Thank you for choosing Jewellers Vault.
