We so enjoyed the flower show! Thank-you to all the customers who dropped in for a chat.  I was great to catch up.

New Ground Floor Store in Brisbane Arcade

We are delighted to announce that we are opening on the ground floor of the Brisbane Arcade after a few years on the Gallery Level.  July 2018

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.

The Best Jewellers – Tarik please add image of Richelle on bench – the one you took..

At Stephen Dibb Jewellery, we are proud to employ the best jewellers in the industry, and we’re thrilled to have the fabulous Richelle in our team!

We first discovered Richelle’s extraordinary talent when she was recognized as Queensland Jewellery Apprentice of the Year, and her passion, precision, and creativity have only grown since then.

Award-Winning Designs

Since joining us in 2018, Richelle’s exceptional skills have earned her multiple accolades. Her most celebrated work—a stunning necklace and detachable brooch—won her two prestigious design awards in the 2018 Australian Pearl Jewellery Design Master:

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.
