Ben

Ben began his jewellery career with a four-year jewellery apprenticeship in Brisbane at the young age of fifteen. Once completed, he was the youngest qualified jeweller in Queensland for a short time. Having always had a passion for intricate hobbies and fine hand skills since childhood, and further developing technical drawing skills in high school, jewellery was the perfect career for Ben to pursue and develop these attributes.

Ben’s 35 plus years in the jewellery trade has taken him from Brisbane, to Perth and now to Melbourne, learning new techniques from some of the most talented craftspeople, and getting to work with the most beautiful metals and gems available. Ben feels extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to pass on his knowledge and expertise, training six other young apprentices to become qualified jewellers.

Ben thoroughly enjoys the creative process of engineering a piece, figuring out how to bring out the best in design and functionality so that it will be a joy for the client to wear for a lifetime. A piece that they will cherish and pass on to the next generation.
