    Love & Hatred

    This plush, sensual, wood-panelled store is aglow with custom-made jewellery by Sydney designer Giovanni D’ercole. Beautiful sapphire rings, natural pearls and rose-gold pieces manifest an unostentatious, mystic blend of Celtic, art nouveau and contemporary styles.

    Copeland & De Soos

    Specialising in late 19th- and 20th-century decorative art and design (think Art-Nouveau and Art-Deco furniture), this charming store also does a nice line in 20th-century jewellery, such as big resin bangles and Scandinavian silver. Service is friendly and knowledgable.

    Verne Jewels

    With an exquisite eye and a wry sense of history, Nicholas Bullough (no, he’s not Verne, that’s a joke – Jules Verne, get it?) assembles the artefacts, stones, pearls and gems he buys around the world and comes up with winners every time.
