A Trip Worth Making.
On seeing a piece in person — and why we'll cover your flights.
There are things a photograph can’t tell you about a piece of jewellery. The weight of a ring on your hand. The way a stone gathers light and gives it back as you move. The quiet authority of solid metal, shaped by an artist at the bench. Some things can only be understood in person: holding the piece, trying it on, and letting it settle into place.
For our clients in Melbourne, this can be achieved in an easy afternoon. For the many we are fortunate to have elsewhere in Australia, it has always meant making a journey. We have been thinking about that distance, and how we might close it.
A visit to our Russell Place gallery is deliberately unhurried. You sit with us and talk through what you have in mind: a piece from the collection you have long admired, an engagement ring, or the beginnings of a bespoke commission created especially for you. There is no hurry and no obligation, simply time to explore, ask questions and experience the work as it is meant to be seen.
Let us bring you to Melbourne
If you are travelling from outside Victoria, we would like to make the journey a little easier. Should you commission a piece following your consultation, we will credit the cost of your flights towards your purchase. To our knowledge, it is the first offer of its kind from an Australian jeweller, and our way of welcoming those who have supported us from afar.
How it works:
- Book an Interstate Visitor Bespoke Consultation at our gallery, located at 28 Russell Place, Melbourne.
- Following your visit, should you choose to commission a piece, we will credit the cost of your return flights towards your commission: up to $500 for commissions from $5,000, and up to $1,000 for commissions of $10,000 or more.
- Simply confirm your commission and pay your deposit within 14 days of your visit, then send us your flight confirmation. We will take care of the rest.
A few details, so everything is clear: the offer is available to clients whose primary residence is in Australia, outside Victoria. It applies to return flights only, with one flight credit per commission, capped as outlined above and at no more than 10% of the total commission value. The offer cannot be combined with any other offer. You can read the full terms here. If anything is unclear, our team will gladly talk it through.
Some decisions deserve to be made in person. If you have been considering a piece or a bespoke commission, we would love to welcome you to Russell Place and make the journey an easy yes.
