Mother's Day 2018: The Jewels I Can't Live Without

Mother's Day 2018: The Jewels I Can't Live Without

I gave birth to my baby girl, Ondine, in February, and I'm enjoying this special, treasured time immensely. This is my first Mother's Day being a mum!

I actually gave birth in 3 pieces of jewellery, and have found these pieces are now my staple suite of jewels, due to their effortless wearability. I can attest to them being baby friendly, and perfect for a new mum.

My Double Pearl stud earrings are the perfect everyday earring, sitting on the ear away from inquisitive hands. They're a simple, monochromatic yet classic pearl earring design.

I wear my Golden Diamond Double Circle ring every single day. It's a design I created years ago and I still love the balance explored in this piece - the champagne diamond appears to float within its perimeter of gold.

I've never removed my Smile pendant, which I wear in yellow gold with five diamonds. It's followed me through this exciting phase in my life, which I can confirm has been filled with smiles!

Gem School 03: Unique Diamonds

Sourcing unusual diamonds is one of my great passions, and I love presenting these unique gems in new designs that challenge traditional ideas of what a diamond ring should look like.

Bespoke

Such an amazing experience. My bespoke ring is stunning. It is constantly admired and I have people comment on it weekly asking where I had it made. Thank you again Melanie for my beautiful ring ( and my other gorgeous jewellery as well).Fiona

Engagement

I’ve been fortunate to have followed Mel’s work for almost 20 years— and have appreciated the immense effort she has put into her own work, not to mention curating a wonderful group of artists through Po8.Over the years I’ve been able to purchase her work— and it was a no brainer to get my engagement and wedding bands made by her. Her staff are incredibly helpful and kind- and I always make an effort to swing by and see what is in store.Shawn

Sapphire

My partner proposed to me with a Melanie Katsilidis Australian blue sapphire diamond ring. We are absolutely floored by its beauty. The architectural design, the jewels, the cut, it’s just out of this world! Thank you so much to Melanie and her team for all the thought, care and class with which you created our forever treasure!Natalie

Pearls

Pieces of Eight is my go-to for timeless, wearable luxury. The curation is always on point and all the artists in this gallery are incredibly talented. However, Melanie Katsalidis' pieces are my absolute favourite—sculptural, stunning, and unique. I always get compliments when I wear her creations. I own several and wear them constantly. They're effortlessly special, every day. I am obsessed with this place!LTP

Loved by many

Excellent customer service. The staff were helpful from the moment I walked in, through to selecting, purchasing, and resizing a ring. When illness meant I couldn't come in to the boutique, they gladly reorganised. The ring itself is an absolute banger, for what it's worth -- my fiancée and I couldn't be happier! Highly recommended.

The whole experience has been an unalloyed pleasure: a range of pieces that I enjoy choosing from, staff who are helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and helped make the whole process enjoyable. They handled the online enquiry as efficiently as they do in person. Anne

Pieces of Eight is an Aladdin’s Cave of treasures, show casing some of the most original and creative jewellery and objects to be found in Melbourne, let alone around the world. Over the years I have bought many different items from them and all, without fail, receive positive comments from family, friends and strangers when they see them. Dean

Belinda Esperson

Always a wonderful experience working with the fabulous team at Pieces of Eight! First time working with them on a custom piece, by artist Belinda Esperson. A family member loved the style a brooch though found it a little large so she created a smaller version that was just perfect. Leonie
