Jacques has always been fascinated with the transformation of precious metals, from basic bars of gold to exquisite and delicate pieces adorning women (and men) and symbolizing love and commitment.
At a young age, Jacques began working with experienced artisans in Europe, learning the techniques being passed from master to apprentice over generations. From his humble beginnings he matured and developed his craft learning from various gold smiths around the world.
As Jacques’ skills and qualifications as a handmade jeweller grew, he became increasing captivated by creative designs that started as a concept, a vision, and progressed into a piece of jewellery possessing powerful sentiment. He is extremely grateful for the support and encouragement he received at every stage of his career, with teachers and peers continually extending his talents as a designer and a craftsman.
Jacques devotes a high level of excellence and perfectionism to all of his work, from a simple wedding band to complex engineered designer jewellery. And no design is too great a challenge. Jacques respects the vision of all of his clients and his goal is to turn all of his clients’ dreams into reality.
Jacques D Jewellers was established in 1994, operating from a studio workshop in the Sydney CBD. He has created a comfortable and friendly environment to nurture the partnership between client and craftsman, allowing Jacques to create and design unique and sentimental pieces. Jacques is committed to ensuring his clients realise the piece they desire.
