The Sparkling Legacy of The Diamond Guild Australia

Bebe Bakhshi — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 12:20:44 +0000

In the realm of Australian excellence in diamonds, The Diamond Guild Australia stands as a paragon of commitment to the unparalleled beauty and authenticity of natural diamonds. Founded in 2005 by a collective of industry leaders to establish and preserve a benchmark of excellence, committed to quality and ethics in the sale of natural diamonds throughout Australia. This esteemed organisation is poised to continue its legacy of excellence under the stewardship of its dedicated board members.

One of the hallmarks of The Diamond Guild Australia is its steadfast commitment to using only natural diamonds. The guild firmly believes that the beauty and authenticity of natural diamonds cannot be replicated. Their unwavering stance against synthetic diamonds reinforces their dedication to preserving the allure of nature’s creations. This ensures that consumers can trust DGA members to provide them with the highest quality and most genuine gemstones, allowing them to cherish their jewellery for generations to come.

On the topic of natural diamonds, J Farren-Price a DGA member emphasised that they do not support the sale of lab grown diamonds to our high-end customer base. We have seen how their value keeps falling and do not believe we are doing our clients a favour by promoting them. For sure there is a market and client for lab grown, it is just not a sector we focus on.

Membership in The Diamond Guild Australia is an exclusive privilege, and the selection process is nothing short of meticulous. Potential members are evaluated not only on their technical expertise but also on their commitment to ethical and sustainable practices, use of only natural diamonds as well as their contribution to the industry. The guild’s dedication to maintaining the highest standards ensures that its members are a select group of reputable jewellers who uphold the legacy of Australian jewelry craftsmanship.

Berj Ohannessian confirms that being a member of the Guild has helped enhance customer confidence even further in their brand, BERJANI!

J Farren-Price second that and mentions Members of the guild have a reputation for integrity and have set a benchmark for quality and ethics in the sale of diamonds. J Farren- Price have and always will, stand by these values and our loyal clientele who have supported us for decades is a testament to how we are perceived in this competitive local market. Through our exceptional attention to detail and unwavering commitment to providing quality jewellery to last a lifetime, this is the reputation that we have built over 80 years as a family-owned business.

The guild boasts a stellar roster of current members, each representing the pinnacle of jewelry craftsmanship in Australia. These members are the driving force behind the guild’s mission to elevate the Australian jewelry industry on the global stage. Their commitment to excellence is evident in the exquisite pieces they create. Here is a complete list of Diamond Guild Australia:

Celebrating Excellence: Jewelry Awards

One of the most anticipated events in the world of Australian jewelry is the biannual Jewelry Awards hosted by The Diamond Guild Australia. These awards celebrate the creativity, innovation, and technical skill of jewellers who create stunning pieces using natural diamonds. Winning a Diamond Guild award is a mark of distinction and a testament to an artisan’s dedication to their craft. The DGA’s jewellery awards not only celebrate the talent within the Australian jewellery industry but also serve as a platform to promote the beauty and value of natural diamonds. By exclusively recognizing pieces made with natural diamonds, the DGA reinforces the importance of these precious gemstones and encourages consumers to appreciate their unique qualities. The last Jewellery Award was held in 2018 and after five years of hiatus due to COVID-19 finally the most anticipated Jewellery Awards returned in 2023.

Jeff Einstein was hoping to see a new refreshing style of designs in this year’s DGA awards, as emerging and existing talent possibly didn’t have as many opportunities to enter competitions, and over the past few years have been able to explore new designs and techniques.

Olivar Musson also adds that the excitement surrounding these awards is palpable. Designers all over Australia have been preparing to unleash their creativity in the most prestigious diamond design awards in Australia. I know at Musson, we have been developing concepts for years that we are ready to present in these awards with the goal of winning the Supreme Award for a third time.

The DGA’s jewellery awards are renowned for their rigorous judging process, ensuring that only the most deserving pieces are recognized and celebrated. A panel of esteemed industry experts, including renowned jewellers, gemologists, and designers, carefully evaluate each submission based on criteria such as design, craftsmanship, use of materials, and overall aesthetic appeal. This ensures that the awards maintain a high standard of excellence and provide a platform for exceptional talent to shine. For 2023 Jewellery Awards I was honoured to be part of the judging panel along with Karlie Ungar Creative Director of CARLA ZAMPATTI, Dr Brandon Gien CEO of GOOD DESIGN AUSTRALIA and Lester Brand Managing Director of LESTER BRAND JEWELLERY.

The award ceremony was held on October 24th at The Langham Gold Coast, an invigorating and glamorous evening that brought together industry leaders to celebrate their craft and most exceptional creations. The winners of each category were announced, and their exceptional pieces were showcased, allowing attendees to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship up close.

Here are the categories including finalists and winners:

“WINNER OF EVERYDAY DIAMONDS CATEGORY”

TROIS by Robert Musson of Musson Jewellers

-FINALIST OF EVERYDAY DIAMOND CATEGORY-

GLISTENING LAGOON by Natalie Alegria of Creations Jewellers Canberra

“WINNER OF DIAMONDS FOR MEN CATEGORY”

VELOCITA by Chantelle Green & Andrew Want of Calleija

-FINALIST OF DIAMONDS FOR MEN CATEGORY-

DIAMOND METROPOLIS by Cassandra Nitschke of Bell And Brunt Jewellers

“WINNER OF RED CARPET CATEGORY”

BLOOM by Robert Musson of Musson Jewellers

Olivar Musson, Creative Director of Musson Jewellers explains on the creative process of designing a piece: I believe a winning design must be striking and challenging on first impression. I achieve this by striving for innovation in setting. Creating a new technique to secure the diamond to enhance its brilliance and shape is my starting point. I then sculpt the rest of the piece around that. This process ensures the design is both innovative and unique. Robert Musson, founder of Musson Jewellers, and Olivar’s father won two categories at the Jewellery Awards 2023.

-FINALIST FOR RED CARPET CATEGORY-

ORIONID by Alain Anson of Stephen Dibb Jewellery

LE RUBAN D’OR by Louis Dauxais of Matthew Ely Jewellery

“WINNER FANCY COLOURED DIAMONDS CATEGORY”

THE KALEIDOSCOPE by Nadia Neuman and Burt Muller of Mondial Pink Diamond Atelier

Nadia Neuman, founder of Mondial by Nadia and winner of Fancy Colour Diamond category as well as the winner of Supreme Award mentions that her inspiration always comes from the gemstone itself and then it’s the story I want to tell through the creation we make. Its finding a uniquely beautiful stone and figuring out how best to convey what makes it so special. It’s the unique colour or shape or feeling of a particular stone that inspires the theme of the piece. If were using a selection of stones, its what those stones say as a collection; the variety, the rarity and what they create together that sparks an idea. When entering a competition, I’ve never considered what’s traditional. There are certain rules that we know work through experience, there are tones and hues when combined that bring out the best in gemstones or add contrast. There are certain styles of setting and textures of gold that make a piece look contemporary or of an era but other than those things the most exciting part about entering a competition is that there are very few boundaries. The creation process is all consuming and very exciting. Once we’ve decided on the stone and I have a clearer idea of what we want to say, there is inspiration everywhere and that’s how the creation evolves. With regards to creating something unique, it’s a moment when I get to create something that I personally love. That’s what makes it unique. It’s a particular style and taste and combination of stones, metals and ideas that make sense to me personally.

-FINALIST FOR FANCY COLOURED DIAMONDS CATEGORY-

VICENZAORO 2019

Bebe Bakhshi — Tue, 24 Sep 2019 13:02:37 +0000

Vicenzaoro September 2019 concluded on September 11th after 5 days exceptional experience from Dalí themed Vicenza ” Golden Arts” original installations, thanks to Dalí Universe, a collaboration between Vicenza Municipality and IEG (Italian Exhibition Group) to incredible show venue with 1300 brands participating from 117 countries, showcasing their latest creations, innovations and signature pieces. Here are few of my favorite pieces from Stenzhorn, Roberto Coin, Picchiotti, Chantecler, Palmiero, Yoko London, Hans D Krieger and Crivelli. World Diamond Group “The White Olive Tree” is a work of art representing a symbol of friendship between nations and people, created by artist and theologian Agatino Cappella in over 3kg of platinum, over 3003 diamonds (marquise and Dulce round brilliants having 82 facets) total carat weight of 366.

As members of press we had a very packed schedule to visit and experience as much as possible during our stay. Our schedule included 2 factory visits to Nanis & Peruffo for understanding the process of creating each piece, getting a feel of the atelier, production line, design studios and experience Italian jewelry to the best. Followed by a festive dinner, of course authentic Italian feast from handmade gnocchi, hand rolled cigars and Amarone wine!

Our nights were followed by attending events around the city and my favourite was an evening walk through the old town to enjoy Salvador Dalí sculptures all around the Basilica toward Museo del Gioiello Vicenza! Currently there is a temporary exhibition of ‘Precious Art: the jewellery sculptures of Salvador Dalí’ at Museo del Gioiello Vicenza that conveys his passion to express himself in space and three dimensions. The jeweled sculptures pay tribute to Dalí’s most important iconographic images, like the ballerinas, the angels and the watch. They are made from 18-carat gold and encrusted with precious stones, diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires. Each work of art is mounted on a translucent rock crystal base and signed in gold by Dalí. There are various rooms at the museum each dedicated to different aspects of jewelry such as symbol, fashion, beauty, magic, future and more.

Forms Jewellery: A hidden jewel in Hong Kong

Tue, 01 May 2018 00:30:09 +0000

Fun Facts about Hong Kong:

Hong Kong means “fragrant harbor” in Chinese, and Kowloon mean “nine dragons”
It is ranked fourth in a global billionaires list and has 64 residents with personal fortunes of over US$1 Billion
There are 263 islands in Hong Kong
Dim Sum originated here and means “touch the heart”
the glittering skyline has over 8,000 skyscrapers
it is home to jewelers extraordinaire….. FORMS JEWELERY

As much as we love the skyline, the islands, and dim sum, nothing compares with a visit to master jewelers Forms Jewellery . The founders, Tzvika Janover and Elad Assor, are no strangers to exceptional stones, coming from multi-generational families of diamond cutters. Recently, Gilly Strauss joined the executive team as CEO, bringing over 18 years of experience in luxury brand building and value creation to the Forms Family. No strangers to the FORMS brand, we excitedly planned to spend time in the FORMS Hong Kong workshop, eager to learn more about this extraordinary jeweler.

Before we share our experiences with you, lets backtrack a moment to understand why we are so passionate about this brand. Bear in mind that we spend all day every day viewing exceptional jewelry. Yet nothing ever prepares us for the thrill of seeing a new FORMS creation. Each piece is one of a kind, hand crafted, and includes diamonds and gemstones rarely seen elsewhere. Over and above this…it’s all about the design! A FORMS piece can be held from any angle, and the beauty will still captivate you. The details are astounding, and the brand strives to “seek perfection in every imaginable detail of every piece, calling them works of patience”.

The artisans in the workshop patiently handcraft the creations, turning exceptional designs into flawless pieces of jewelry. The design and production artisans work seamlessly together painstakingly handcrafting each step of the process. The resulting pieces are perfect for the FORMS woman, who is as individual, unique, and stylish as the FORMS jewelry she wears. Through the years the design team have evolved the FORMS signature, but the commitment to selecting unusual gemstones and working with precision cut diamonds (diamonds that are custom cut for a specific piece) remains constant.

With only 100 new pieces created each year, FORMS strive to make sure every design counts. The new FORMS collection is based on the ELEMENTS and subtly conveys images of fire, ice,earth and water. First we saw the earrings, which are detailed, light, flexible, and elegant.

“DIAMOND CHANDELIERS” BY FORMS, REPRESENTING FIRE AND ICE: The earrings have a sense of weightlessness and light, and are exceptionally flexible, gently swaying with every movement! The design team worked hard to make sure they used the least amount of gold possible – when it comes to earrings, a few grams can make all the difference. The earrings are designed to be both statement pieces and exceedingly wearable. Wear them every day with ease…or on the red carpet with confidence!

In addition to the earrings, we saw several new rings that are part of the new collection. We saw designs that have been influenced by both floral (earth) and fire (flame) elements. The new rings all have clean continuous lines, a look only achievable by hand carving each piece until it is exactly right.

Hi Jewelristas,

I know its been such a long time since the last time I wrote something here, but I was away on vacation for almost 5 weeks, then I had my birthday celebrations and after that I had to move to a new place and you know how packing and unpacking stuff is time consuming and that is the reason why I couldn’t focus on what I want to write about my birthday gift. I know I didn’t write anything about the Cannes Film Festival but if you have checked my Facebook page, you have seen the fabulous pieces already, if not here is the link for all the red carpet photos of 2013:

Stefano Canturi Journey “An Exhibition of artworks over 25 years”

Bebe Bakhshi — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 00:50:00 +0000

Hi Jewelristas,

Last night I participated at the opening night of Stefano Canturi exhibition in Melbourne.

The exhibition show cases some of the very famous designs, the original sketches and drawings that Stefano did over the years. As always the pieces were stunning and the history behind each piece as well as the amazing drawings were mesmerizing.

The exhibition is located on fortyfive Flinders Lane and will be on from February 19th – March 2nd, so if you happen to be in the city that’s definitely a must see.

Here are some photos from the exhibition and I do hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.

Hello Jewelristas,

I don’t know about you but I am super excited for Oscars Red Carpet and I hope all of you enjoyed the eclectic taste in Golden Globes and SAG awards.

I am sure you have heard about the Inaugural Ball that Michelle Obama rocked her stack of bracelet designed by Kimberley McDonald for Forevermark. I was breathless, the designs were so raw and fresh that I just wanted to have one of them, well for $20,000+ who is counting! (sighh)

During SAG awards we heard a lot about Forevermark Diamonds that stars were rocking them including Elisabeth Moss and Amy Poehler.

Forevermark Diamonds are part of the De Beers group which is the leading company in sourcing out the best diamonds in the world since 1888.

Forevermark Diamonds has different designers for their collections and recently some of the very famous individual jewelry designers are having collaborations with Forevermar Diamonds and here is the list of the guest designers: Kimberley Mcdonald, Fred Leighton, Martin Katz, Hoorsenbuhs, Me&Ro, Mimi So and Stephen Webster.

Here I am going to share some of the permanent collections icons as well as the guest designer’s absolutely unique creations.

Enjoy and Happy Weekend already!
