If you are looking for quality, handmade jewellery in Australia, Gryphon
Jewellery are the designers and manufacturers of original, fine, handcrafted and
hallmarked jewellery. They specialise in custom work and commissioned pieces in
particular, such as custom made rings, as well as offering a repair and
remodelling service.
I came across Gryphon Jewellery after Steve Mulry showed me a special ring he had commissioned for his band,
Black Label.
I was very impressed with the workmanship, and the detail is simply amazing - certainly
worth sharing and reviewing.
Anyway, none of their work is outsourced, but in fact done right here in
Australia at their Southern Highlands workshop. Customers can even talk directly
to the jeweller, Hamish Burchell.
Hamish is not only magnificent jeweller, but also an award-winning hand
engraver, and uses centuries old techniques to hand carve such things as crests,
seals, patterns and monograms. Pendants, bracelets, finger rings, napkin rings,
cups, goblets and trophies have all been the objects of Hamish's remarkable
handiwork.
Just click on some of the images on this page to see the detail in his
workmanship.
Gemstone jewellery
Specialising in diamonds and coloured gemstones, Hamish handpicks stones from
the far reaches and obscure corners of the world. Securing gemstones in
jewellery is an art form in itself, and Hamish takes special care in ensuring
this is done to an exacting and high standard.
Restoration work
In addition to jewellery, Gryphon restores antiques pieces of metalwork such as
teapots, statues, candlesticks, objet d'art and even vintage car parts have been
refurbished in their Bowral (NSW, Australia) based workshop.
