About Us
Located in Melbourne’s CBD, we specialise in sterling silver and gold jewellery featuring gemstones.
Gazelle Jewellery is located opposite the newly refurbished St. Collins Lane, in the historic Centre Way Arcade that runs between Collins Street and Flinders Lane. The store sits in the heart of Melbourne's most popular laneway precinct - Degraves Streeet, Centre Place and Centre Way. This iconic area is home to bustling cafes, unique designer boutiques, off beat fashion and one of Melbourne's famous graffiti hot spots.
Gazelle Jewellery has been delighting customers for more than three decades. We have travelled the world and engaged with local jewellery artisans to build our collection of one-of-a-kind pieces. We also carry an eclectic mix of scarves and other high quality objects d'arte - both contemporary and antique.
When curating our range we look for creativity, design, craftsmanship, composition, comfort and versatility. Many of the designs we carry are exclusive to Gazelle.
We provide a concierge service and look forward to answering your questions and helping you select that special piece by phone or email. We can include a card or a personal note, gift wrapping and arrange postage. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
We thank you for your continued support and look forward to welcoming you back to our store. With warmest regards, Suzanne and Mark Fernandes.
Sterling silver
Sterling silver is our biggest range by far, from small pendant to earrings, bracelets and necklaces you will find what you are looking for.
ETHNIC Jewellery
Our global jewellery range features pieces made by Indigenous groups from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, as well as artisans from Africa. Our Thai range is made by the Karen people who live in the north and northwestern parts of the country. The silver alloy contains 98% by weight of silver and is rolled and hammered by hand meaning size and shape can vary from piece to piece.

Amber
Our amber range is sourced from Poland. Amber is fossilized tree sap that dates back around 40 million years. The highest quality and richest deposits of amber are found around the Baltic Sea.
Pearls
Pearls are formed when a small foreign body enters a mollusk and is covered in layers of pearly material. Pearls are iridescent lustrous spherical masses. They can vary in colour from white to grey, to a variety of blues and even apricot. There are two main types of pearls: freshwater and saltwater. Pearl shapes also vary from perfectly round to oval, drop, coin, botton and the famous baroque.
crystals
Crystals are said to hold different properties and meanings which can support us though life. Crystals are created by the earth and each have their own personality.
agates
The painterly quality of agates will not disappoint. The stones can be seen to depict a Japanese painting, a moonscape, a valley, an ocean or a Rembrandt or Van Gogh. The image is in the eye of the beholder!
Marcasite
Marcasite jewellery is made from small pieces of cut steel and /or pyrite set in sterling silver. The cut and polished marcasite pieces reflect light at different angles from its different facets giving it a sparkle and making it attractive. The reason marcasite jewellery includes pieces of pyrite is because pyrite was called marcasite for quite some time. Up to the 19th century, both materials were viewed as one and the same.
Marcasite jewellery was particularly popular in the eighteenth century, during the Victorian era. The romantic Art Nouveau designers of the early 19th century first popularized marcasite jewellery and were soon followed by the Art Deco designers who began producing pieces inspired by elements of nature such as butterflies, leaves, flowers, and others. The Art Deco Style quickly became extremely popular for its beauty and effectiveness and is one of the most well-known jewellery styles to this day.
