5th Avenue Jewellers Reviving the classics

Reviving the classics

5th Avenue Jewellers in Capri on Via Roma offer their customers the benefit of more than 100 years combined experience among them.

This internationally renowned family business is run by Nicole, a fully qualified and registered Gemmologist and Valuer, and her husband Darren Daley, manufacturing jeweller, Gemmologist, Diamond Technologist and Registered Valuer.

When it comes to reviving a piece of inherited jewellery or a piece that “no longer brings you joy” as is often the case, Nicole recommends remodelling.

“People come for remodelling as they may have inherited a piece they don’t like the design of, or a broken piece that they wish to turn into something new. Or maybe they’ve simply changed the style of jewellery they like to wear. They may have once worn yellow gold but now prefer white gold, or perhaps collected a lot of fine pieces of jewellery but now prefer larger statement pieces.”

Whatever the reason or your personal taste, Nicole can work with you to create a new heirloom you’ll be proud to wear.

“It is best if a client has an idea of what they are looking to do and then we sit down and discuss their needs and wants with them and refine their ideas with some design options,” Nicole explains.

For example inheriting a relative’s valuable brooch, is a sentimental challenge that requires an expert touch. “While it’s true brooches are not usually a popular item on the Gold Coast as they don’t suit the fashions we wear in this climate, we understand that a piece of jewellery may hold deep emotional ties. We have worked with clients to turn a brooch into a pendant or add a feature so that they are more wearable.

“I absolutely love working with our clients on remodelling a precious piece in a way that is worthy of its uniqueness and giving it a new lease of life so it continues to bring happiness and evoke memories in its new owner.”

As for seasonal trends, Nicole says there has been a return to “big bright bold gemstones”.

“Rings and pendants featuring a singular stone or a dominant centre stone of colour are very popular. Multi-coloured jewellery will also be popular through summer, especially the beautiful colours available in Sapphires.”

At 5th Avenue jewellers, every style of jewellery is showcased, from the latest designer originals to heirloom pieces and quality antiques, supported by expert advice and professional service.
