💎 Don’t let this happen to your pearls! 💎

There’s nothing more heartbreaking than a treasured pearl necklace suddenly snapping and scattering pearls everywhere. 😱

Did you know that pearls should be professionally restrung every 1–2 years if worn regularly, or every 3–5 years if reserved for special occasions?

Over time, the silk thread holding your pearls weakens naturally and can break without warning. Regular restringing helps protect your investment and prevents lost pearls.

✨ Signs your pearls may need restringing:
• Frayed or fuzzy knots between pearls
• Visible gaps or stretched thread
• Darkened knots from absorbed oils, perfume, or dirt
• Pearls sliding too freely along the strand

At Metal & Stone Jewellers, we carefully restring pearl necklaces using quality materials and traditional techniques to keep your pearls secure, beautiful, and ready to wear.

💰 Pearl restringing starts from $130 for standard necklaces.

If your pearls are showing any of these signs—or if it’s been years since they were last restrung—bring them in for an assessment.

📍 Visit Metal & Stone Jewellers and give your pearls the care they deserve.

When a piece of jewellery is meant to last generations, who do you trust to make it?

This video shows Maurice at the bench doing what he’s spent the last 45 years mastering.

In a world where much of today’s jewellery is mass-produced overseas, Maurice still handcrafts fine jewellery right here in South Australia.

But experience alone isn’t what makes him different.

Maurice refined his diamond-setting skills under a world master diamond setter in Antwerp, Belgium — one of the world’s great centres of diamond craftsmanship. He is also a full member of The Gold & Silversmiths Guild of Australia, a distinction earned by only the most skilled craftspeople in the trade.

Alongside him is his wife Sonya, a qualified Gemmologist and Fellow of the Gemmological Association of Australia, bringing expert gemstone knowledge to every design.

Together, they offer something increasingly rare: genuine world-class expertise combined with personal service and local craftsmanship.

Whether you’re creating an engagement ring, redesigning a family heirloom, celebrating a milestone, or bringing a dream piece to life, your jewellery deserves more than a catalogue and a sales counter.

It deserves the hands of a master craftsman.

That’s why so many South Australians trust Metal & Stone Jewellers when the piece truly matters.

Sorting through inherited jewellery can feel overwhelming.

Old jewellery boxes often contain a mix of gold, silver, gemstones, costume jewellery, watches, broken pieces and items with sentimental history. Many people simply don’t know where to begin — and valuable items can accidentally be thrown away or given away.

At Metal & Stone Jewellers, your items are carefully sorted in a safe, understanding environment by Maurice, a Master Goldsmith, and Sonya, a qualified Gemmologist.

We help identify what may hold value, what may be precious metal, what may contain gemstones, and what may simply be sentimental keepsakes worth holding onto.

No pressure. No judgement. Just experienced guidance when you need it most.

One of the most upsetting things we see in the workshop is when someone loses a precious gemstone from a ring they’ve worn and loved for many years.

What many people don’t realise is that there are often warning signs before this happens — worn claws, loose stones, or rings catching on clothing can all indicate your jewellery needs attention.

That’s why Maurice has created a free guide:
💎 ‘5 Signs Your Rings Need Repair’

As a goldsmith and diamond setter, Maurice is passionate about helping people protect their jewellery and avoid preventable damage or gemstone loss.

A simple professional check can often prevent costly repairs and help keep your treasured pieces secure for years to come.
