The Art of Collection: A Programme for Collectors
The Art of Collection - A programme that evolves with you
A collection isn't assembled in a single afternoon. It grows slowly. A ring acquired the year something changed, a pair of earrings chosen for no occasion at all, a commission that took years to imagine, months to draw and even longer to make. Each piece carries its own story, and together they form something deeply personal: a record of moments, memories and a life that's been lived.
The Art of Collection is our way of recognising this. We have created a tiered loyalty programme for those who understand that jewellery is so much more than adornment. It is art, legacy and personal expression. As your collection grows, the programme offers increasing benefits and privileges, bringing you closer to the gallery, our artists and their creations.
How it works
There is nothing to be done to join and no card to carry. Your membership reflects your collecting over the past twelve months, with each piece you acquire contributing to your standing for a full year from the date of purchase. As your collection develops, your tier evolves with it, quietly in the background.
The four tiers
Curator | Annual spend $1,000 to $4,999
Your personal collection is beginning to take shape, guided by the pieces that speak to you. As a Curator, you’ll receive 24 hour early access to every collection release, a personalised birthday greeting with a $50 gift voucher, a $50 wedding anniversary voucher and a $50 referral voucher for both you and the friend you introduce to us.
Connoisseur | Annual spend $5,000 to $9,999
Your collection is taking on a character of its own, shaped by a discerning eye and a growing appreciation for exceptional pieces. As a Connoisseur, you’ll enjoy Golden Ticket access to our annual private VIP sale for you and a guest, complimentary engraving on eligible pieces, a private styling consultation in the gallery or online, First Look access to new launches and limited editions plus exclusive quarterly previews.
Virtuoso | Annual spend $10,000 to $24,999
Your collection has become a deeply personal expression of your taste, built over time through pieces of lasting significance. As a Virtuoso, you’ll receive invitations to launches and exhibition previews, access to a dedicated private concierge, priority bespoke consultations and complimentary express shipping and insurance Australia wide. Virtuoso also carries lifetime status, recognising your place within the Pieces of Eight collecting community for years to come.
Patron | Annual spend $25,000 and above
Your collection reflects a lasting commitment to contemporary jewellery and the artists and makers who shape its future. As a Patron, you’ll receive First to See access ahead of every other tier, along with a bespoke annual gift box, thoughtfully curated for you. Patron also carries lifetime status, recognising your enduring place within the Pieces of Eight collecting community.
Why lifetime status
At Virtuoso and Patron levels, your standing does not reset. A collection built over many years should not be measured by a single quiet one. These tiers recognise not only what you have collected, but the relationship with the gallery that has grown alongside it. Once earned, your status is held for life.
