From Dream to Diamond: A Client’s Vision Brought to Life
Have you ever dreamt up a jewellery design that felt just right—a piece that captured your style, your story, and your sentiment? One of our recent clients did exactly that! She came to us with a hand-drawn sketch, a small collection of family heirlooms tucked away in her jewellery box—precious, but unworn—and an inspiring idea.
Her vision was clear: something simple, something meaningful, and something she could wear every day. With her old yellow gold and a handful of diamonds that held family history, we created a stunning new ring that checked every box.
The result? A timeless yellow gold band with her beloved diamonds hammer set in a delightfully random pattern across the top. The design is minimal and elegant, but carries so much weight in memory and intention. It’s a wearable tribute to her past and a sparkling nod to her future.
Jewellery like this reminds us why we do what we do—because every piece can be more than just an accessory. It can be a story, brought to life.

Wedding Superstitions We Secretly Love
At Jewellers Vault, we have the absolute pleasure of working with couples during one of the most exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) chapters of their lives — wedding planning! Amidst the sparkle of engagement rings and wedding bands, we’ve also heard our fair share of quirky wedding superstitions over the years. Some are sweet, some are strange, and some just leave us scratching our heads.Here are a few of our favourite wedding superstitions:💍 Spider Surprise – Believe it or not, if a bride finds a spider on her wedding dress, it’s actually considered good luck! Creepy-crawly? Yes. But lucky? Apparently so.☀️ Sausage Ritual – This one really threw us: some people believe that burying cooked sausages at the site of the ceremony will help bring good weather. We’re not entirely sure who first thought this would work, but hey — if it helps calm the nerves, why not?🪞 The Mirror Rule – According to tradition, once the bride is fully dressed with hair and makeup done, she shouldn’t look at herself in the mirror — it’s said to bring bad luck. But if she *does* sneak a peek and then adds an accessory (like earrings or a necklace — we can help with that!), the bad luck is magically reversed.💥 Smashing Plates – A bold tradition, often seen in Greek culture: guests break plates at the reception, and the newlyweds clean them up together. This act is meant to show that the couple can overcome challenges side by side. Symbolic and cathartic!Weddings are filled with love, tradition, and a touch of the unexpected — and sometimes, it’s these little stories that bring the most fun and laughter to the big day.Have you heard of these before?

When Sentiment Meets Smart Design
You might not be able to see it in the pictures, but this little elephant has a big story.
Our client brought in a pendant she adored—an elephant that had hung lovingly from her chain for years. But those years of wear had taken their toll. The two tiny jump rings holding the piece in place were almost worn through. It’s not something she did wrong—it’s simply what happens with movement and time. And it’s a reminder to all of us: wear and tear is real, even for the most beloved pieces.
To protect her elephant and prevent further damage, we suggested a smart solution—soldering the piece in place to stop it from swinging and grinding against the chain. But then she had an idea…
What if we reimagined the whole piece?
She envisioned a half collar necklace, with her elephant secured in the centre, and a comfortable chain at the back for easy wear. And who better to help bring it to life than Jewellers Vault?
Using her own gold, we crafted the design—and now her elephant hangs proudly once again. Only this time, it’s stronger, safer, and more stylish than ever!
Jewellery can carry deep meaning—but with the right care and creativity, it can also carry on for a lifetime.

A Love Affair with Bangles (and Diamonds!)
Some people collect books, others collect stamps—but this client? She collects bangles. One simply wasn’t enough. She’d been following us for quite some time, keeping a close eye on our custom pieces, especially the diamond-studded ones. Something about the sparkle spoke to her.
She already owned a bangle or two, but she was always longing for more. When the time eventually came for her next bangle, she knew it had to be different. It needed to stand out—bold, unique, and unmistakably her. So, she got creative. She went rummaging through her jewellery box and unearthed two lone earrings that hadn’t seen the light of day in years. Both had lost their matching pair long ago, but she couldn’t bear to part with them. They still held beauty and sentimentality—and now, a new purpose!
She brought them to us, along with some other unworn treasures, to create something special. After chatting design ideas, she settled on a diamond-studded bangle—but with a twist. She didn’t want symmetry or structure. She asked for the diamonds to be placed in a random scatter across the top. An intentional, effortless kind of sparkle.
And that’s the magic of custom work: transforming forgotten gems into bold, wearable art. After all, diamonds really do make everything better.

How Do You Start Your Day?
At 8 degrees this morning, I definitely thought about reaching for my slippers and another five minutes under the doona. But not today, or any day!
Every morning—rain, frost, or beautiful sunny morning—you’ll find me bundled up and walking my best mate Nitro at (or before) sunrise. The cold air bites, the grass crunches underfoot, and the world is just beginning to stir. It’s quiet. Peaceful. And completely ours.
This frosty ritual isn't just about exercise—it's a reset. A moment before the tools come out and the molten metals glow. I like to think it clears my head, centres my spirit, and gives Nitro the sniffy adventure he lives for.
At Jewellers Vault, we’re big believers in starting your day with something that fills your cup—whether that’s a walk with your dog, a perfectly brewed coffee, or ten minutes of quiet before the chaos. Your morning moments matter.
So we want to know: How do you start your day?
Do you stretch? Meditate? Scroll in bed with a warm mug of tea?
