Last minute Christmas gift guide

Check out our last minute Christmas gift guide, featuring quality products from great local businesses.

Thompson Bespoke Jewellers: Flame and Desire

Thompson Bespoke

Just two of our stunning Argyle pink diamond rings this summer.

With the Argyle diamond mine now mined out, beautiful pieces like these are becoming impossible to create with the rarity of the pink diamonds and very little stock available.

To complement these two beautiful pieces, we have a good selection of earrings, pendants and rings at the moment. However, many of these pieces will be the last available as there are very few diamonds to replace what we currently have on hand.

Don’t miss out on owning a piece of Australian history.

Call Thompson Bespoke Jewellers on 4842 1265 or email [email protected] today.

Every girl should own a strand of South Sea pearls

Thompson Bespoke

Grown in the pristine waters of North West Australia, our stunning white pearls are taken straight from the shell, washed and then graded for colour, shape, size and lustre to form a beautiful strand.

And not just the white pearls. Tahiti produces the beautiful blacks, and the rare gold pearls are grown in the Philippines from the gold lipped oyster.

Pearls can be classical or just for fun when mixed into long silver or gold chains, dangle or stud earrings and single pearl pendants.

At the last pearl auction, prices rose by 20 per cent so grab a pearl piece now and beat the price hikes.

Get in line for our diamond set

Thompson Bespoke

Tennis and line bracelets set in either white, rose or yellow gold from Thompson Bespoke Jewellers make the perfect gift. You can choose from 9ct to 18ct gold and vary the size of the diamond weights to suit your budget. Some styles can be made to length which helps if you are petite and require fewer diamonds making them very cost effective.

A staple for every lady’s jewellery collection.

Timeless and elegant.

Prices start from $3,800.

Dreaming of a pink Christmas

Thompson Bespoke

With the Argyle mine in Western Australia now mined out and closed, these rare and beautiful Argyle pink diamonds are becoming exceedingly hard to source.

Currently, Thompson Bespoke Jewellers still have a reasonable stock of unset diamonds available for sale. We have kept our historical pricing despite the prices now rocketing upwards due to demand from investors. There are up to 30 Certified Diamonds in our current stock which will not be replaced as we sell down, as prices on most have doubled in the last year.

Be it investment or a beautiful piece to wear, you can own a piece of Australia.
