The Best Jewellery Stores in Melbourne for Pieces You’ll Treasure Forever
Upgrade your bling collection at the best jewellery stores in Melbourne.
A great piece of jewellery does more than finish an outfit. It carries a mood, a memory, a tiny bit of theatre for the wrist, neck or hand. Melbourne’s best jewellery stores understand the assignment, from sculptural gold and diamond heirlooms to delicate everyday pieces made by local designers with serious craft credentials.
Ready to find something personal, precious and far too easy to justify? These are the best jewellery stores in Melbourne for modern treasures, forever pieces and gifts with excellent taste.
Love Isabelle
After more than five years searching for the right Melbourne address, Love Isabelle landed on High Street with a store worth waiting for. Designed with Coffey Hallett, the Armadale boutique wraps warm timber around floral Rubelli sofas, sculptural lighting and jewellery displays worked almost casually into the furniture. The collection follows founder Isabelle Sidd’s fondness for vintage references, spanning petite watches, chunky chains, hoops, rings and solid gold. Settle into the sofa and start trying things on.
1250 High Street, Armadale
Seb Brown
Seb Brown has made irregularity part of the appeal. Since 2009, the Melbourne jeweller has developed a hand-carved, unisex language that borrows from antiquity without looking remotely archaeological, worked in recycled gold and silver with sapphires, spinels and diamonds scattered through the mix. His tenth-floor Century Building studio, designed by Sean Godsell, is almost laboratory-like, with jewellers working in view and a Fred Ganim-made jewel box holding new, archival and ready-to-buy pieces.
Room 1006, Level 10, Century Building, 125 Swanston Street, Melbourne. Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm.
KDJ House
Behind the façade of an Armadale terrace, KDJ House is deliberately domestic. Founded by Melbourne jeweller Katherine Denton, the space is all warm timber and natural light, with pieces made to order by local artisans using precious metals and carefully sourced stones. Appointments are intentionally unhurried, leaving time to try things on, talk through proportions and work out what actually belongs on your hand.
Armadale
Linden Cook
Linden Cook built its name on jewellery that starts with something no one else can replicate: a fingerprint. Founded in Melbourne by Linden Cook and daughter Georgie Amad, the label uses lost-wax casting to turn impressions into rings, pendants and keepsakes made by hand locally. Its Gertrude Street flagship pulls the making process into view, with the full collection alongside custom appointments and jewellery care. A lovely meeting of craft, memory and very good design.
79 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy
FinerRings
FinerRings has made the jewellery stack far less financially alarming. The Melbourne label specialises in slender rings, fine chains, hoops, charms and easy layering pieces across gold and silver, with prices that invite a little experimentation. There are boutiques across South Yarra, Fitzroy, Balaclava, Chadstone and Sorrento, making it one of the easiest names in this guide to actually shop. Go in for one ring; the stack tends to grow from there.
South Yarra, Fitzroy, Balaclava, Chadstone and Sorrento
Newend
Inside Collingwood Yards, Newend occupies a circular, light-filled studio inspired by the ouroboros, the ancient symbol of renewal. The jewellery follows suit, with androgynous, sculptural forms handcrafted from recycled silver and 14k gold. Fashion-forward without feeling overworked, the collection has a clean, self-possessed edge that suits the Collingwood Yards setting perfectly.
Shop 6/35 Johnston Street, Collingwood
Sarah & Sebastian
Sarah & Sebastian sits at the meeting point of gemmology and engineering. Founded in 2012 by Sarah Gittoes and Robert Sebastian Grynkofki, the label translates oceanic forms, negative space and technical precision into fine jewellery with a distinctly cerebral streak. Melbourne’s Exhibition Street flagship takes the idea furthest, with a gallery-style Fine Jewellery Library, two Ear Alchemy piercing labs and SOLDERED permanent jewellery, while Armadale and Chadstone offer the collections and signature services closer to home.
100 Exhibition Street, Melbourne
1044 High Street, Armadale
Kiosk 0049, Chadstone Shopping Centre, 1341 Dandenong Road, Chadstone

Curated Chaotica
Curated Chaotica is jewellery for people who find good taste more interesting with a sense of humour. Chilli earrings, wonky hearts, chunky rings and tiny metal oddities make up the Melbourne label’s playful, affordable collection, with plenty landing comfortably in impulse-buy territory. Find it at Fitzroy Market on weekends and at pop-ups around Australia. Proof that not every great piece of jewellery needs a diamond, a milestone or a compelling financial argument.
75 Rose Street, Fitzroy
Bella Clark
Bella Clark has a particularly good way with the signet ring. Since launching her practice in 2016, the RMIT-trained jeweller has built a collection around softly rounded forms, fluted surfaces, coloured stones and diamonds, with pieces made by hand in Melbourne. Her Collins Street showroom is open by appointment, with everything from silver bands to gemstone-heavy rings ready to try on.
Suite 12, 12 Collins Street, Melbourne. By appointment, Tuesday to Friday.
LOTT Studio
LOTT Studio begins with form before flash. Kari Layton’s practice took shape in Berlin and became a Melbourne label in 2015, with wax carving and traditional forging producing rings and earrings that shift in weight, fold and proportion around the body. Recycled gold, silver and platinum sit beside Australian diamonds, coloured stones and heirloom gems. The Abbotsford showroom, once also Layton’s home, opens Saturdays, with weekday appointments available; the making happens privately inside the Manchester Unity Building.
277 Johnston Street, Abbotsford. Saturdays, 10am to 4pm; weekdays by appointment.
Lucy Folk
Lucy Folk has built a career out of following whatever catches her eye. The Melbourne designer moves easily between fine gold, colourful stones, metallic crochet, charms and pieces that borrow from food, travel, art and the everyday. Her Windsor store extends that world beyond jewellery, mixing accessories, objects, flowers and fashion into one highly idiosyncratic room. Start with the cabinets; there is every chance something stranger will steal your attention.
151 Albert Street, Windsor
By Nye
By Nye feels as though someone raided an artist’s studio and decided the smallest objects should be worn. Designer Nye De Marchi draws on natural landscapes, memory and her visual-arts background, translating shells, faces, amphorae and organic forms into jewellery made by hand in Melbourne using silversmithing and lost-wax casting. The Brunswick East studio doubles as a showroom for jewellery, artworks, vintage pieces and design objects, with bespoke appointments available directly with Nye.
102 Lygon Street, Brunswick East — by appointment only
Tessa Blazey
Tessa Blazey makes jewellery for people who find conventional engagement rings a little too conventional. Working from her Northcote studio, the Melbourne jeweller specialises in bespoke rings, unusual gemstones and one-off pieces that play with geometry, colour and unexpected settings. Her work can be delicate or architectural, but rarely predictable, with stones often driving the design rather than simply decorating it. Studio appointments are available for commissions, remodelling and those very particular once-in-a-lifetime rings.
Northcote studio, by appointment
Cleopatra’s Bling
Cleopatra’s Bling has more passport stamps than most jewellery boxes. Founder Olivia Cummings trained with artisans in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar before time in Naples and connections with Florentine goldsmiths shaped the label’s visual language. Founded in 2014, the collection draws on Mediterranean and Middle Eastern symbolism, worked into recycled silver, mostly recycled gold, enamel and gemstones by artisans across Turkey, Italy and India. The Collingwood flagship is richly talismanic, ornate and gloriously uninterested in minimalism.
17 Johnston Street, Collingwood
Emily Green
Emily Green has built a cult following around colour. From her Preston studio, the Melbourne designer and her small team handmake polymer clay earrings and necklaces in bold, graphic combinations that are instantly recognisable on a rack — and even better on. Shapes are playful, palettes run bright and unexpected, and the whole collection has the energy of someone who has never once worried about being too much.
28 Gilbert Road, Preston
CUSHLA WHITING
CUSHLA WHITING is a family affair with serious gem credentials. Founded by siblings Cushla, Hamish and Anna Whiting, the Melbourne-born fine jewellery house is known for architectural engagement rings, antique diamonds, coloured gemstones and rare stones sourced with a collector’s eye. Book a consultation at the Little Bourke Street showroom for bespoke designs, wedding bands, signet rings and everyday pieces that feel refined, personal and built for a lifetime of wearing.
Racing Club Laneway, Level 2/377-379 Little Bourke Street, Melbourne
Millie Savage
Millie Savage does colour with abandon and craft like couture. From her Smith Street flagship in Fitzroy, the Melbourne jeweller creates handmade pieces across rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets, with one-off treasures and custom consultations part of the fun. The mood is joyful, gem-heavy and wonderfully offbeat, with bold silhouettes made for people who want their jewellery to say something before they do.
337 Smith Street, Fitzroy
545 Mornington-Tyabb Road, Moorooduc
Comune Gallery
Comune Gallery puts contemporary Australian jewellery front and centre. Founded by Eloise Falkiner and Christian Stott, the Northcote gallery mixes its own collection with work by local makers, spanning fluid metalwork, unusual stones and pieces that edge into miniature sculpture. The olive-green High Street space is pared back enough to let the cabinets do the talking, with plenty here for anyone bored by jewellery that plays it safe.
272 High Street, Northcote
S-kin Studio
S-kin Studio solves a very specific jewellery problem: wanting the fun stuff without irritated skin. Founded by Chi Mai, the Melbourne label specialises in nickel-free, hypoallergenic pieces designed for everyday wear, from its cult illustrated Zodiac pendants to lockets, charms, earrings and solid-gold designs. The Hawthorn boutique takes things further with permanent welded bracelets and anklets, piercings, jewellery-making workshops and personalisation, making it one of the more hands-on stops in this edit.
573 Burwood Road, Hawthorn
Hamish Munro
Hamish Munro approaches fine jewellery with an engineer’s eye for proportion, creating clean, sculptural pieces designed around the body. From his Cambridge Street studio in Collingwood, rings, signets, earrings and necklaces take shape in precious metals and stones spanning white diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and garnets. Explore the ready-made Permanent Collection or book an appointment for a custom piece, with each design reduced to exactly what it needs and nothing more.
38 Cambridge Street, Collingwood
Black Finch Jewellery
Black Finch brings a painterly eye to fine jewellery, with Australian sapphires, unusual gemstones and one-off commissions taking centre stage. Founded by master jeweller Raymond De Zwart and creative director Davina Adamson, the Collingwood studio works with 100% recycled gold, ethically sourced stones and conflict-free diamonds across engagement rings, wedding bands and everyday pieces. The settings are refined, the colour often unexpected, and the overall effect far more expressive than your standard glass-case sparkle.
344 Smith Street, Collingwood
Shop C, 85–99 Ocean Beach Road, Sorrent
Keshett
Keshett is for anyone who likes jewellery with a past life. The Melbourne family house has spent four decades sourcing antique and vintage pieces from around the world, with Georgian, Victorian, Art Nouveau, Edwardian, Art Deco and mid-century eras all represented. It is particularly strong on Art Deco engagement rings, alongside rare gemstones and bespoke designs informed by historical forms. Browse Little Collins Street or make an occasion of it beneath the mosaics of The Block Arcade.

e.g.etal
e.g.etal is less jewellery store than living survey of contemporary Australian design. Since 1998, the Little Collins Street gallery has championed independent makers, with more than 50 Australian and New Zealand artists currently represented. The cabinets can move from paper brooches to precious-stone rings and beautifully unconventional one-offs, while exhibitions and an annual graduate award keep new talent entering the mix. The appeal is jewellery with an author, an idea and very little interest in looking like everybody else’s.
150 Little Collins Street, Melbourne
Geneine Honey Bespoke Jewellery
If your jewellery box contains a ring you love but never wear, Geneine Honey is the address to know. Established in 2002, the Carlton North studio designs and makes its entire collection on site, spanning engagement and wedding rings, signets, gemstone pieces and custom commissions. Its real specialty is transformation: inherited gold, diamonds and gemstones can be remodelled into something contemporary, with repairs and recycling handled in-house. Come with an heirloom, leave with a future one, its history still intact.
685 Nicholson Street, Carlton North
Corky Saint Clair
Corky Saint Clair is the Century Building jewellery studio with feeling, colour and just the right amount of edge. Designer Christopher Bril and award-winning jeweller Eva Reiser shape a Melbourne-made collection that moves between delicate and rugged, with Australian sapphires, opals, zircons and topaz sitting alongside salt-and-pepper diamonds and ethically sourced stones. Rough, semi-cut and rose-cut gems bring texture and character to solitaires, clusters, lockets and one-off commissions, giving even the smallest pieces a distinctly individual edge.
Book in for an engagement ring, a birthday jewel or something small and excellent simply because you found it.
The Century Building, Room 602/125 Swanston Street, Melbourne
Pieces of Eight Gallery
A jewel box for design obsessives, Pieces of Eight pairs serious craft with the thrill of discovery. Curated by founder and jeweller Melanie Katsalidis, the Russell Place gallery brings together exclusive and limited pieces from more than 30 Australian and international makers, spanning engagement rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and small art objects. The collection moves from sculptural and wearable to conceptual and wonderfully strange, with private commissions for anyone wanting something no one else is wearing. Add exhibitions, artist talks and special events throughout the year, and this is jewellery shopping with intellect, instinct and a very good eye.
