We are finally up and running...

Ladies and gentlemen, Rodricks has re-opened. After countless meetings, discussions, interviews, wheeling and dealing we have opened. Standing in front of the old premises all appeared fine. The design layout had served its purpose. Our talented architect had come up with an amazing space to feature our beautiful hand crafted jewellery. As we really "looked" at the store, however, we all agreed that a change was needed. Our twelve year old business was in need of a serious upgrade.

Trends had changed, yellow gold was making a comeback, the Australian jewellery consumer was interested in having fun and stepping out of the box a little. Coloured gemstones were making a statement. Pearls were no longer playing second fiddle to the diamond. Yes, my friends, it was time for a change.

Hello my friends, it's been awhile....

It's been so long since my last post.  I do apologise but in between running the business, keeping track of orders & repairs, working with my husband, catching up with my fabulous staff and being chauffeur to two almost teenagers something has to give.

 Well, what's new you ask?  Spring is finally here and that means weddings, weddings, weddings.  In the last couple of years I've noticed a real change.  Clients are really taking their time to think about their wedding bands - the men especially.  No longer do they settle for just a plain traditional wedded. They like to add their own personal touch.  It can be a surprise engraved message, a stone setting or a combination of different alloys and materials.  Unique is not something to fear but rather embrace.

I always tell my clients to get their wedding bands done early.  As a manufacturer we can always alter designs - by that I mean we can thin the band or even add diamonds if they prefer.  The ladies and gents have all been so lovely.  It's a great industry I work in.  I'm blessed to see young love, new found love and even second time around love.
