I’ve been a jeweller since the early days, and whatever I learnt, I learnt on the bench. A good friend of mine, a Czechoslovakian man, taught me everything that I know. And I took it on from there, and did what I did.”
“We love making custom-made jewellery; we’ve been here for 22 years and that’s what we pride ourselves in: the making of handmade jewellery for our clientele in Dulwich Hill and surrounding areas. We pride ourselves on the end product. The finish of excellence and the work that we do, and are known for.”
“We’ve got a good variety of stock: diamonds, Cubics, or crystals as we call them and we’re very diversified in what we do; there’s a lot of designs and a lot of jewels we put into the gold to make them look as good as they do. We’ve got a little bit of everything: cuff links, pins, earrings, [religious] crosses. The biggest variety of things in one jewellery shop we have right here.”
“Trends are always changing. At the moment there are some lab-grown diamonds that everyone is purchasing but I don’t keep any in the store. People can order them but I refuse to keep them because they don’t hold any value. We do stuff that’s custom made in real diamonds and real, coloured stones – whatever people require, we quote and price them.”
“With regards to gold, some people are not spending they way they were before. The trend is changing and the price of gold effects everything that you do. There’s weight behind the solid rings that we make: they’re not imported from China or any other place – they’re all made here, locally in Australia.
