I ordered a custom piece by Melanie Katsalidis and couldn’t be more thrilled with the result. The entire process was highly professional, and Hannah was exceptionally accommodating and patient, ensuring every detail was perfect. I’m absolutely over the moon with the final piece and would highly recommend Pieces of Eight to anyone seeking beautifully crafted custom jewellery.

Always a wonderful experience working with the fabulous team at pieces of eight! First time working with them on a custom piece, artist Belinda Esperson. A family member loved the style a brooch though found it a little large so she created a smaller version that was just perfect! Look forward to many more purchases and hopefully custom creations.

The whole experience has been an unalloyed pleasure: a range of pieces that I enjoy choosing from, staff who are helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and helped make the whole process enjoyable. They handled the online enquiry as efficiently as they do in person. Sometimes pieces are simply beautiful pieces of art, other times they are keepsakes or reminders of people, places or moments of meaning or enjoyment. The pieces I bought are beautiful. They also were chosen because they work well together. One, a special order, will ultimately be a reminder of important moments, my late father and my aging cat. But collectively, these pieces make me smile as I look at them, singly or collectively because what could have been purely commercial transactions, purchases, instead reminds me of the women who listened to what I was looking for, cared about that, and helped me realise it. Or simply, this is a place with objects of beauty and people who can and will make considering them or buying them, a joy.

I was gifted a pair of Parti Sapphire Huggie Earrings in gold from my partner. They are the ultimate feminine piece! I was able to choose the sapphires for the earrings instore which made the experience feel truly personal and meaningful. Customer service was exceptional and an added bonus - I received a tester of Melanie's perfumes - they’re just as unique and captivating as her jewellery!

My partner Jon and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Georgia today. We are embarking on the engagement ring shopping process and felt SO welcomed, supported and had the absolute best time. Georgia showed us so many beautiful pieces, giving us the time and space to really explore. She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and supportive. Pieces of Eight is such a fantastic space full of incredible pieces! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!!!

I had the best experience with Pieces of Eight. After looking in a few places for an engagement ring, I found Hannah who helped me decide for the three stone baguette. She was patient, knowledgable and very kind throughout the process. They ended up creating a beautiful ring and listened to all the changes I wanted to make. My partner is thrilled with the ring! I recommend them very highly and we will be back soon.

We are absolutely delighted with our new Winter Solstice Ring. Choosing an engagement ring can be a daunting process but Tilda, Hannah and Georgia made it an exciting journey of discovery for us. With our many moments of indecision and time delays we never felt pressured or rushed. The team was always supportive, knowledgeable and had a great feel for suitable options. We have bought many pieces over the years as the gallery supports such an exciting stable of contemporary jewellers and designers. With experienced and passionate staff its always a pleasurable experience. Time to start saving for the next Po8 purchase!

excellent service, great atmosphere in-store, and the team here was very helpful and supportive through my process of purchasing an engagement ring - I had a few ideas for rings in mind, and after running through some different styles and sizes with Georgia from the team, I found the perfect one. highly recommend!

Tucked down a lane off Bourke St, Pieces of Eight is the pearl in the oyster that is Melbourne contemporary jewelry, having moved from their original space earlier in 2011, the new space still feels new and clean, but not sterile. It's like hanging a work of art, when it's done right, all the supports become invisible, letting the art stand on its own. With more than fifty jewelers and artists on display, the staff are knowledgeable in depth on each and every one of them. The pieces themselves are very diverse, ranging from traditional materials to geometric shapes to found scraps of toys to feathers and fur. The eclectic mix car appear a little daunting at first, but after the first few seconds you notice the glow of it all. In the centre cabinet and front windows can often be found an exhibition - be it one artist in resident or a collection on a theme. Having never bought anything from here, I can't tell if it's expensive or affordable, what I can tell you is that having a peruse is well worth the time.
