King St Metalsmiths has only been open for a year, but the owners Gillian Kilgour and Vince Bonaddio have over 50 years of combined experience in the Jewellery industry.
Both traditionally-trained jewellers, they have worked with some of the biggest
names in jewellery, and have now opened their workshop at 522 King St
Newtown.
There is a small gallery space with examples of their ranges of styles and
materials, however the space is an open-plan jewellers’ workshop, where clients
can come to discuss their ideas, view works in progress and even watch them on
the bench.
Gillian and Vince are both passionate artisans, committed to quality design,
craftsmanship and service. Their work utilises new technologies as well as
traditional metalworking techniques.
They specialise in coloured gemstones, unique wedding rings, small scale
wearable sculptures, as well as repairs. They also stock pieces by local jewellers.
One of the most interesting and popular offerings is the recycling and remodelling
aspect of the business, where the client brings in old pieces of unwanted and
unworn jewellery.
From them, Gillian and Vince design new treasures that will be loved and worn,
keeping the sentimentality of the story behind the old pieces.
With the cost of gold being so high, it’s the perfect way to have a custom-made
piece for yourself or your loved one, using gold or silver you already have.
Through sketching and 3d modelling during the design phase, you will be able to
visualise exactly what the piece looks like, and make any changes you would like,
before the piece is created in your choice of metal.
While the workshop is currently closed due to the pandemic, Gillian and Vince are
still able to work online with you to design your perfect piece.
