New Ground Floor Store in Brisbane Arcade

There is no Stephen Dibb Jewellery without our customers so thank-you for another amazing year.  We’d like to share the highlights with you and our plans for 2019.

I’ve always dreamt of having a store in the beautiful Brisbane Arcade so when the opportunity came to move downstairs we jumped at it!  We’ve taken over the old Hofstay’s House of Diamonds store and made it our own.  It has been a team effort so a big thank-you to my family and my staff.  Please come in & visit the new store.

Here are my beautiful daughters in the social pages of the Brisbane News while representing Stephen Dibb Jewellery at the Brisbane Arcade Fashion Parade & Cocktail Party September 2018 (see page 21). Both of them currently work for me & I’m so proud!  Tarik has joined us in the accounting department working with her grandmother Betty as well as the marketing department working with her mum.  She is now our photographer & we’re loving her work!

Gedarm has returned as a designer working in our new Brisbane Arcade store.  She has recently submitted her first entry into a jewellery design drawing competition.  I’m delighted with the quality of her work.  My jewellers loved the detail.  What do you think of her head piece (two-thirds view)?

The Best Jewellers

We employ the best jewellers!  I’m delighted to announce that the fabulous Richelle has joined us.  We spotted this extraordinarily talented jeweller when she won Queensland Jewellery Apprentice of the year.  We’d always hoped that she would join our team.  See her latest creation at Richelle lastest creation.

8th Apprentice for Stephen Dibb Jewellery

My personal aim is to train 10 jewellery apprentices during my career.  Thanks to your ongoing support we have just taken on our 8th apprentice. Brock is already following our tradition of being a high achiever. See the stunning ring called Kora that he designed & made for a national jewellery design competition.  We are overjoyed that he made finalist & very proud of how he equiped himself in the workshop & at the glamorous awards night as it is a lot of pressure.   Brock is pictured here learning from “Tappy”, Brendan Tapp, our master diamond setter.

 

 

Diamond Guild of Australia’s Jewellery Design Awards

We are very proud to be a member of the Diamond Guild of Australia which organises these awards to promote jewellery design in Australia.  Jessica Rowe was a fabulous compère handling the complex technical descriptions of the jewellery design with ease.  My wife, Lisa, sat with her at dinner & really enjoyed her company.

The glamous awards night was organised by Fleur Events.  The beautiful Neon Models did a wonderful job of displaying the jewellery as there is nothing like seeing the jewellery, as it should be, on a person.  The models were dressed by the fabulous Australian fashion desiger, Carla Zampatti.  Carla has been a long-time supporter of Australian jewellery design.   The event was held at the beautiful Aerial – Food & Desire in Melbourne.

 

Jewellery Lovers’ High Tea

In September we hosted our first Jewellery Lovers’ High Tea at Room with Roses in Brisbane Arcade.  The highlight was a diamond ring that featured a green & an orange diamond amongst other pastel coloured diamonds – learn more about this beautiful ring.  It was a fabulous success!  We plan to do another in March / April so please register events@sdj.com.au with us to receive your invitation.

Farewell John

Thank-you John for 30 amazing years.  It was wonderful to see how many past & present team members came to your ocean-side send-off at the The Lighthouse Restaurant.  You helped me create the fantastic culture we have where customers, team members, innovation & integrity are all respected.  Good luck in your retirement, you will be missed.  Don’t worry Cleveland customers Paula & John have selected a wonderful new head jeweller called Lee for the Cleveland team.
