"Our passion is alchemising your story into a treasured piece of contemporary jewellery. Honouring the earth’s most precious materials to create a wearable artwork to last a lifetime."

THE ART OF ALCHEMY
Black Finch is our family business and shared passion. It is the manifestation of our love of art, colour and earth’s most magical materials.
We have been creating fine art jewellery here in Melbourne for 15 years and we remain obsessed both with the process and the joy it brings. Our team’s collective expertise transforms these stories into treasured pieces. With innovation in design and technique always driving us— they are objects of wonder that will last lifetimes. We value integrity, and a splash of fun, in every part of our business. Our ethics are as hot as our gems.
Be in touch, we look forward to talking with you about your jewelry dreams and meeting you in the luxurious creative wonderland that is the Black Finch showroom.
