by |

Key Takeaways The one question worth asking before you hand anything over: does the repair happen on site here in Perth WA, or does the piece get packed up and posted somewhere else?

Lab Grown Diamonds in Perth WA: What Changes, What Stays the Same, and What to Ask For

Key Takeaways A grown diamond, a mined diamond, and a stone pretending to be both: A laboratory-grown diamond is carbon, crystallised in the same structure as a stone formed underground.

Why Jewellery Matters

Reflections from the Sinclair's Jewellers Applecross/Ardross Jewellery Studio People sometimes ask us why jewellery matters. After almost eighty years serving the Applecross, Ardross and wider Perth community, we've often reflected on that question ourselves. After all, it doesn't feed us. It doesn't keep us warm.

There are moments in our Applecross/Ardross Jewellery Studio when time itself seems to stand still. Not because something has gone wrong, but because someone has entrusted us with a piece of their life. An elderly lady sat opposite me with her hands folded together. For a few moments we simply talked. Eventually she smiled, slipped her wedding ring from her finger and gently placed it in my hand. "I've never taken it off," she said.

Jewellery Remodelling Perth: How to Transform an Inherited Piece into Something You’ll Love

by |

There’s a piece of jewellery in most households that hasn’t seen daylight in years. Maybe it’s your grandmother’s engagement ring — beautiful in its own right, but from a different era. Perhaps it’s a gold bracelet from an old relationship you’d rather not think about. Or a brooch you inherited that you’d never actually wear. The sentimental value is real, but the jewellery itself just doesn’t feel like you.So it stays in the drawer. This is one of the most common conversations we have at Sinclair Jewellers. Customers come in with an...

Introduction: Why Your Jewellery Should Be As Unique As You Are There's a moment that most of us know well. You spot someone wearing a piece of jewellery that looks almost identical to something you own, and the magic fades just a little. It happens all the time with mass-produced pieces, and it's exactly why so many people are turning back to handmade jewellery. There's something deeply personal about wearing a piece that was shaped, set, and finished by human hands. Something that carries the mark of a craftsperson who poured skill and...

Perth is home to talented jewellers who combine traditional...
