Preparing for your special day involves meticulous preparation, especially when it comes to selecting the perfect jewellery to complement your look. This task can be particularly daunting, especially if your dress is set to arrive at the last moment. We asked our Perth Showroom Manager, Angelica, to share her insights around the top trends in bridal accessories.
Is the tradition of something blue still in vogue?
Many brides still embrace the traditional practice of incorporating something old and something blue into their attire. For some, it's a way to honour a beloved family member who has played a significant role in their lives. However, we're increasingly seeing modern brides using blue as a creative statement or to infuse a pop of colour into their bridal look.
What are your favourite blue jewellery pieces?
I adore this exquisite Sapphire and Diamond Freeform Ring, perfect for brides seeking to add a little edginess to their look. For those inclined towards tradition, the Art-deco Inspired Cocktail Ring featuring an oval-cut aquamarine is simply breathtaking.
What are two must-have jewellery accessories for every bride?
Every bride needs a modern and delicate pearl bracelet like Linneys' Floating Australian South Sea Pearl Bracelet. These also make a beautiful gift for bridesmaids as they can be worn on the day and treasured forever as a memory of the wedding. Paired with a pair of timeless earrings, such as the beautiful Australian South Sea Pearl French Hook Earrings, brides can achieve an effortlessly elegant look.
Is there a trend towards statement earrings?
Brides are loving the versatility of statement earrings that can be worn on the day, and then forever. My personal favourite are our Bow Tie Diamond and Pearl Earrings, for a perfect fusion of contemporary glamour and classic charm.
What’s currently trending for men in terms of wedding day accessories?
Grooms are increasingly opting for lapel pins and cufflinks as essential accessories for their wedding day attire. These not only add a touch of sophistication but also serve as cherished keepsakes to gift their groomsmen. Our Silver Rose Lapel Pin and Mother of Pearl Cufflinks are both excellent choices.
We have an extensive range of bridal accessories for men and women at our three showrooms and available online. Visit us today to discover the perfect adornments for your bridal ensemble.
We can also help to design and create a bespoke hand-crafted jewellery piece, here at our Perth studio. Please get in touch for a complimentary design consultation.

Alan has had the privilege of working with these extraordinary specimens since the emergence of Argyle pink diamonds on the world stage, following Linneys' selection as an Argyle Pink Diamonds Select Atelier—a distinction bestowed upon just 37 jewelers globally. According to Alan,
“Working with Argyle pink diamonds really has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When I started working with jewellery, Australia, was of course renowned for its gold, but pearls and diamonds from Western Australia were unheard of,
“We were quick to embrace these Australian treasures by becoming an Argyle Pink Diamonds Select Atelier. It's an immense privilege to have had access to such extraordinary stones that resonate with our rich Western Australian heritage, he said."
In homage to Linneys' enduring admiration for Argyle pink diamonds, each piece within its esteemed Artisan Collection is embellished with at least one rare Argyle pink diamond. These 50 one-of-a-kind creations, envisioned as 'wearable art,' were unveiled in celebration of Linneys 50-year anniversary.
As one of the first jewellers to join Argyle Pink Diamonds Select Atelier™ network, Linneys collection of Argyle pink diamonds is one of the most extensive in the world. Our profound understanding of these coveted Australian gems allows us to offer valuable insights to clients seeking to acquire an Argyle pink diamond jewellery piece. For those wishing to create their bespoke Argyle pink diamond masterpiece, our skilled artisans have decades of experience in setting these exceptionally rare specimens into works of art.

Before the most important question of your life is asked, there’s a whole lot of others to answer.
“How much should I spend on the ring?”
“How do I choose the right stone? The right style?”
And of course…
“Should the one proposing choose the ring? Or should we choose one together?”
An engagement ring is one of the most important purchases you’ll ever make. Not only because of the magnitude of the question that goes with it, but because an engagement ring is an item you want to be beloved forever—not a passing trend.
When a piece of jewellery has this much emotion wrapped up in it, it’s natural to feel a little nervous about the process.
Whether it’s an apprehensive proposer walking in solo or a shy but excited couple, our Linneys jewellers have seen it all. In this comprehensive guide, we’re going to take you through the process step-by-step, covering:
This depends on your answer to a couple of other questions:
Tradition once dictated that the proposer must propose with the ring. But that was then. This is now.
This one is totally up to you and your partner. Does your partner love surprises? Or are they quite particular, and choosing the right ring without their input is giving you the sweats?
Some people love the idea of their future spouse presenting them with the perfect ring, others hate the idea of being left in the dark.
We think walking into a store and making the decision together is every bit as romantic as going it alone (and will ensure the ring is one they’ll love forever).
Do you have a special date in mind?
If you do have a special date in mind for your proposal or wedding, the sooner you start looking the better. There’s a lot to consider and you want to make sure you have plenty of time to get the right ring in time—especially if you’re planning to design your own.
Bespoke designs can take anywhere between 4-12 weeks. At Linneys, once your design is final it will be handcrafted in our Perth studio.
Again, this depends on whether you’re going it solo or together.
An engagement ring isn’t the sort of purchase you want to make online. Opt for in-store where a professional can help you.
A good jeweller will be able to answer any questions you might have and give you the sort of peace of mind an online experience simply can’t. Besides, it’s the fun part! Head in-store at the earliest opportunity to see what pieces you’re drawn to and what shines a little brighter when it’s sitting on the finger of the one you chose.
When we talk about stones, we’re not just talking about the type of gem (diamond, ruby, emerald or sapphire?) but the four ‘C’s’—cut, colour, clarity, and carat.
The options are endless. Here’s our breakdown of some of the most common choices.
Nothing sparkles quite like a diamond. By far the most popular choice, a diamond is also classic, timeless, and incredibly durable—the perfect gem for a lifetime of wear.
This oval cut diamond solitaire ring is the definition of timeless.
Rivalling diamonds for their hardness and durability, a sapphire makes an equally timeless choice. The blue of a sapphire is also believed to represent honesty, trust, and loyalty—a good omen for any marriage.
This design marries both diamond and sapphire together to make a ring that will be cherished forever.
A beautiful, statement stone that oozes glamour. Emeralds are thought to represent luck, love, friendship, and new beginnings. They’re not as durable as diamonds or sapphires, which is something to consider if you plan to wear your ring every day.
What could be more romantic than a ruby? Symbolic of love and passion, a ruby makes a fine choice for an engagement ring. They’re also hardier than emeralds, making them suitable for everyday wear too.
Arguably the most important choice, the shape of a stone is easily its most distinguishable feature and says a lot about the wearer’s tastes and style.
A timeless classic that allows the stone—particularly a diamond—to shine at its most brilliant.
A square shape with pointed corners, the princess is another brilliant cut and the second most popular choice for engagement rings.
This stunning princess cut diamond tapers towards the centre, maximising its visual impact.
Essentially a round and princess hybrid, a cushion cut is square in appearance but with soft, rounded edges.
Sophisticated, elegant, and understated, the emerald is a very popular choice. Its rectangular shape is cut with linear, straight facets that create a ‘hall of mirrors’ effect. It’s a style that works particularly well with coloured stones.
Another brilliant cut, a radiant stone is a rectangular shape similar to an emerald but its facets are cut in the style of a round, giving it a brighter sparkle.
A striking radiant cut solitaire is a masterpiece of design.
An elongated shape with plenty of sparkle, an oval cut gives the appearance of a larger stone even if it is the same weight as a round. A great way to get a bigger stone, especially where cost is a factor.
An elongated, oval design with pointed ends, this unique shape evokes feelings of vintage opulence. Popularised in the 1970’s, it’s perfect for lovers of old-world glamour and jewels that ooze a little more individuality.
Two side-set marquise diamonds are the perfect showcase for a glamorous centre marquise.
Otherwise known as a teardrop, a pear cut stone is rounded on one side and tapers to a pointed edge on the other. The wearer can choose where the stone points—into the heart or shining out from it.
Last but not least, the heart. The most romantic choice for obvious reasons, this shape is symbolic of beauty, femininity, love, and commitment.
A halo of brilliant round diamonds accentuates the heart in the centre of this fairy-tale piece.
Now you’ve chosen your gem and its shape, it’s time to talk about the specifics of the stone in question: its cut, colour, clarity, and carat. This is especially important when choosing a diamond.
The cut determines a stone’s beauty. It’s based on seven characteristics: brightness, fire, scintillation, weight, ratio, durability, symmetry, and polish. When determining a diamond’s value, cut is considered more important than colour, clarity, or carat.
The Linneys diamond benchmark: the Finest Make.
The less colour a diamond emits, the higher its value. A truly colourless diamond will be classified a D, and as traces of yellow or brown appear the scale progresses through the alphabet to Z.
Almost all diamonds will have some manner of natural flaw, known as an ‘inclusion’. The fewer inclusions, the higher the value. A range of factors are considered including size, colour, nature, quantity, and location of any inclusions.
The one you’re probably most familiar with (and concerned about) is the carat. The carat refers to the size or ‘weight’ of the stone. A carat is equal to 0.2 grams and is divided by 100 points. Diamonds with a high carat weight are rare and you’ll pay considerably more for them than a smaller stone.
Our tip? Don’t get preoccupied with the weight. Consider all 4 C’s and talk to your jeweller about which they consider the most important for the type of gem and shape you’re choosing. Sometimes stones with a distinctive colour are favoured for their unique aesthetic, while clarity can look good on paper—but not all stones are created equal. Inclusions close to the girdle can also pose risks when being set or worn.
Now you’ve chosen the stone, it’s time to choose the band (yes, we’re still talking about the same ring).
This really comes down to personal preference—if the wearer never or rarely wears silver jewellery for instance, gold is the way to go. Where both are an option, it’s worth considering the stone. Emeralds and rubies look beautiful in gold, while silver enhances a diamond’s sparkle.
The most important thing to consider is the metal’s durability and if it will be able to cope with long-term, daily wear.
A denser metal than gold, platinum is incredibly durable, never tarnishes and shines spectacularly. It’s also hypoallergenic, which makes it the perfect choice for those with sensitive skin.
This engagement ring was specially designed to house its 4.06 carat round brilliant cut diamond.
White gold is made by combining yellow gold with zinc, nickel or silver and is typically plated in rhodium to give it its whiteness and shine. The rhodium can wear away over time, but while it may need to be re-plated once every few years it’s still a stunning, timeless, and durable choice.
A combination of pure gold and other metals like copper and zinc, yellow gold is a classic choice. Its versatility lends itself to both modern and vintage looks, depending on your style and design.
Three stone rings are known for their symbolism of a couple’s past, present and future.
Rose gold offers a romantic and nostalgic edge to any engagement piece. It’s crafted by combining pure gold with copper and is growing in popularity.
These don’t need to match. If you prefer gold but your partner has sensitivities that require them to wear platinum, there’s nothing wrong with having your own unique designs.
If you’d still like them to be ‘pairs’, a good designer will be able to craft two unique, yet complementary designs (much like the two of you). This can be as simple as matching inscriptions on the inside of each band.
Wedding rings tend to be of a simpler design than an engagement ring, which is why we always suggest you focus on choosing the perfect engagement ring first. No matter what engagement ring you choose, any good jeweller will be able to help you choose a wedding band to sit beside it later.
Maybe you’ve fallen in love with a particular design but wish it came with a ruby rather than a diamond. Or maybe there’s a jewel in your grandmother’s collection you’d love to see worn again, or you’ve been going from store to store and just haven’t found ‘the one’—the piece you know is going to be an instant ‘yes’.
If you’re nodding along to any of this, it might be time to consider a bespoke ring.
A ready-made ring is an existing piece of a jeweller’s collection, one that you can find in store and walk out with that very day. It’s been designed by the jeweller, and the jeweller only.
A bespoke ring is designed in partnership with the jeweller and you. It’s a very personal process and tells a story like no other piece of jewellery. It is also entirely unique to you—you will never see it on the hand of another.
A bespoke ring can be made by making unique customisations to an existing design or be designed from scratch to create a one-of-a-kind piece. At Linneys, there is no difference in either quality or price between the pieces in our showroom and those that are made to order.
You will make an appointment with your jeweller to discuss your design. It’s a good idea to walk into this appointment with an idea of what you would like and any sentimental pieces you would like incorporated. The jeweller will take your ring measurements and may ask you to try on some existing pieces to discover what you like best.
Your designer will now transform your conversation into a personalised, technical design drawing for your review. Stones, metals, and any other materials will also be selected and the final design—once approved by you—will be crafted.
It can be tempting to match a design to a dress, but remember that this ring will be worn on your wedding day and many days after that. Design for a lifetime, not for a day.
Ensure the ring reflects your personal style as well as its sentiments. It can be just as tempting to get swept away in the romance of the wedding and momentary trends, but if the piece you end up with does not reflect you and the rest of your wardrobe, it will wind up being a very beautiful keepsake for your jewellery box.
The importance of choosing an experienced, quality jeweller cannot be overstated. This is a piece you will wear for a lifetime and that your family will treasure beyond that.
A jeweller who has a high standard for ethically sourced material will always create pieces of a higher quality than those who do not. When browsing a jeweller’s collection, always ask how and where their gems and precious metals are sourced and ask to see certification.
At Linneys we only use certified diamonds, gemstones, and Australian South Sea pearls, and all diamonds are sourced through the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS)—a multilateral trade regime that prevents the flow of conflict or ‘blood’ diamonds.
A jeweller who is not just a jeweller but a master craftsman that makes their own pieces, rather than just selling those of others, will be able to offer you the choice to create your own bespoke design as well as access to a range of other services like re-sizing, re-plating, and cleaning.
With a fully equipped workshop in Subiaco, Linneys can help you with all the above. When you leave a treasured item with us, it will never be sent anywhere else.
Highlights from the collection include an artistic interpretation of a manta ray, a stunning hero pearl necklet with natural coloured diamonds and, in a special charity partnership, a Loggerhead Turtle necklace available in silver or 18ct white or yellow gold. Half of the proceeds from the stunning design will be channelled into the Gnaraloo Wilderness Foundation's Turtle Conservation Program, an initiative which seeks to protect the future of this magnificent species, along with its iconic habitat.

Whether it’s the Princess of Wales resplendent in royal regalia at the Coronation, Anne Hathaway pinned up in pearls at the Met Gala or Margot bringing everybody’s favourite glamour girl to life, Barbie—in 2023, we’re not playing small.
Ready to dial up the glamour?
You don’t need to be real or even Hollywood royalty—you just need the right gem.
There’s a lot to be said for a classic diamond, but true glamour comes in a kaleidoscope of colour. A statement stone is bold, daring and oozes old world elegance. Imagine Elizabeth Taylor without her emeralds, or Holly Golightly without her trademark string of pearls.
A brightly hued gem is every bit as timeless as it is on trend, which is why it’s the perfect piece to add to your collection in 2023.
Synonymous with passion and romance, it doesn’t get much bolder than a ruby. Coming in various shades of blood red, magenta (Pantone’s colour of the year, no less) and fuchsia, a ruby is empowering, daring, and a little bit rebellious. Perfect for statement-makers.
If magenta is the ‘official’ colour of the year, her softer but just as striking offshoot—pink—is taking centre stage as the real colour of 2023. The long-awaited film may not hit cinemas until July, but Barbiemania has well and truly arrived. Think Zendaya in head-to-toe hot pink at Paris Fashion Week or the Princess of Wales in a more muted, candy-pink interpretation for a recent engagement in London.
The Met Gala is always an indicator of what’s in store for the fashion year, and this year everyone was wearing one classic, simple, jewel: the pearl. Pearls have never been out of style, but we’ve all been given a due reminder of their status as a modern classic. Whether they’re adorning your lobes, neck, fingers or even clothing, a pearl elevates any outfit effortlessly.
Found only in a very small region of northern Tanzania, this brilliant, violet blue gem is enjoying a meteoric rise in popularity. With the likes of Beyoncé and Sarah Jessica Parker spotted with the jewel, if you can get your hands on the highly coveted and extremely rare Tanzanite stone too, now is the time.
To ensure your stone stands the test of time it’s important to choose the right cut. The cut of your gem should be on trend, classic, and speak to your own unique style.
Understated, elegant and refined, an emerald cut stone oozes vintage glamour. Worn by Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly and Amal Clooney, its status as a classic yet contemporary cut has been all but cemented.
You’ll recognise this stunning cut from the hand of the Princess of Wales—it forms arguably the most famous engagement ring of all time. Given to her by Prince William in 2010, the ring was formerly worn by the late Princess Diana and will no doubt be beloved by the royals for many years to come. A keeper.
The cut of choice of Emily Ratajkowski, Sophie Turner, Cardi B and Barbie herself, Margot Robbie, there’s no doubt the teardrop or ‘pear’ cut has made a comeback. The unique half-round, half-pointed shape lends itself easily to drop earrings and pendants, but when worn on the finger makes a real statement. The only question is… what direction will you wear it?
Last but not least; round brilliant stones may be the most traditional cut, but their appeal is enduring. With good reason; the precise, intricate facet design that forms a round cut diamond makes the stone sparkle brighter than any other cut.

View the collection online or visit us at our Perth, Subiaco or Burswood showrooms where our jewellers will help you select the perfect piece—or design your own.
]]>To celebrate the achievement of 50 years in operation, we embarked on an ambitious programme of events and activities. We kicked off with a gala launch of the Artisan Series at WA Museum Boola Bardip in October – showcasing the limited-edition Artisan Series magnificent pieces featuring Argyle pink diamonds. It was here that Linneys VIPs came together to recognise the company’s longevity and the atelier’s hallmark creativity over a long-table Gala style event and dinner.
Linneys has always promoted its award-winning jewellers as artists. The new range released as part of the 50th campaign showcased this fusion of artistry, creativity and skilfully designed jewellery. The collection is limited to just 50 unique and individual pieces inspired by the Western Australian landscape and celebrating the achievement of 50 years in business providing world class jewellery locally and internationally.
Collectors of fine art and watches who invest in this limited edition range also receive a handmade hardcover book, not available for sale or distribution, that features each jewellery piece, accompanied by a hand-signed and numbered certificate of authenticity.
Alongside the Artisan Series, we also released the 50th Anniversary Catalogue, featuring the largest collection in our history. Each of Linneys’ first five decades is represented among the comprehensive range. The collection reprises some of the most popular designs from the past, alongside new items that offer contemporary reinterpretations of earlier pieces. Both collections feature in a high-concept advertising campaign titled ‘A Piece of You Since 1972’.
Presenting models styled in fashions inspired by the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, the campaign stars founder Alan’s daughter Tanya Linney – an international fashion model and artist. This 50th year also saw the launch of the book, The Story of Linneys Jewellery Est. 1972. Decade by decade, it chronicles both the challenges and the triumphs that have seen the business not only survive but prosper – from small beginnings, to an iconic Western Australian success story.
At the same time, Linneys’ three showrooms celebrated the milestone with exciting new displays and fitouts, in the ongoing desire to create memorable experiences for customers. Linneys – a company that today celebrates 50 years of achievement, while proudly looking forward to the next 50.
]]>2021 was another tremendously busy year at the Linneys showrooms with an increasing number of couples shopping locally. A variety of styles including traditional and non-traditional engagement ring were most popular including the use of coloured gemstones and fancy shaped diamonds. An increasing number of rings handcrafted also included a favourable trend towards yellow gold over white gold.

Our Neoprene Bangles provide a contemporary touch to classic office to beachwear, offering functionality and beauty in one delightful package.

We create many of our locally designed pieces to work alone or in layers, and our lovely Pearl Wrap Bracelet is the perfect example of this.

Sometimes you only need one statement piece of jewellery to make your evening look stand out. A handmade pendant from Linneys studio will have your friends gasping in awe. With your neck adorned in purest luxury, consider a muted outfit, one designed to let your jewellery take centre stage.

From the delicate beauty of our drop earrings to our attention-stealing Freeform Keshi Pearl ring. This spring, Linneys has the perfect collection of pieces that can transform your look from day to night.

As with many precious gemstones, you grade opals on a scale. The Brightness Scale is graded, categorising opals based on how intense the reflection of colour is when you penetrate the stone with light. The grades are Dull/Subdued, Bright, and Brilliant.
Brilliant grade opals are the brightest and contain eye-catching flashes of colour, also make it the most expensive and desirable gems. Dull/Subdued opals are the least valuable and appear milky with little shine. Bright opals are average in terms of brightness and often an affordable choice.

]]>All jewellery is delicate, so ensure you remove rings, necklaces, and bracelets when working with your hands or engaging in activities involving chemicals or abrasives. This can include:
It's best to wait until you're almost walking out the door ready before adorning yourself with your jewels. Chemicals from make-up, hair products, and perfume can damage delicate pieces.
While occasional exposure is unlikely to damage fine jewellery it can build up and dull surfaces. We recommend applying hand or body creams after you've removed your jewellery.
Correct storage will avoid damage to precious gemstones like pearls and delicate chains.
While regular storage is important, safely storing your jewellery while travelling is essential. Protect your precious pieces using specially designed travel jewellery cases or jewellery rolls to keep your items safe and tangle-free.
Everyday wear and tear takes its toll on jewellery. Before putting on a pair of earrings or a necklace, examine them to help identify elements requiring cleaning or repair. Linneys offer all our clients a complimentary cleaning service, so make regular upkeep a habit.
You may not realise that luxury jewellery can require regular servicing. Here at Linneys of Perth, we recommend servicing your items once a year. A professional jewellery service can help rectify:
Moisture can cause issues for precious jewellery, possibly leading to cracks, a lack of shine, and water stains. Dry each piece carefully with a soft cloth if it does get wet.
Caring for your jewellery is an integral part of maintaining its value and beauty. From diamond engagement rings to incredible bespoke pendants, every piece looks better when it sparkles. Refer to our jewellery care guide for more information.

]]>Each custom engagement ring reflects a different style, from a timeless solitaire perfect for a traditional bride, to a contemporary ring perfect for a modern bride or a bespoke design created in collaboration with both parties to reflect the personality of a unique bride.
At Linneys we are passionate about helping you find the perfect diamond engagement ring in Perth to suit your love story, so we've created a list of styles to give you a little insight into how your ring choice can reflect your personality.
Round-cut diamonds have been one of the most popular choices for engagement rings throughout history. Perfect for a woman with timeless, classical style with love for sophisticated and radiant jewellery.
Personality type: Traditional Bride.
This exquisite cut's four pointed corners make it a modernist take on a traditional style engagement ring. Jaime Pressly and Kate Bosworth both have princess-cut rings.
Personality type: Modern Bride.
Fewer facets make emerald-cut diamonds all the more delightful, and the flat surface of this cut offers timeless elegance, favoured by royalty for centuries. This bold cut stands out from the crowd and can be an excellent choice for vintage style. Beyonce's spectacular emerald cut diamond ring is an impressive 18 carats.
Personality type: Unique Bride.
The rounded corners and curved sides make cushion cut diamonds softer in appearance than their princess-cut cousins. This cut is feminine, delicate, and has a certain whimsy.
Personality type: Romantic Bride.
This shape mimics an emerald-cut stone, but extra facets allow for extra sparkle. Radiant cuts are statement diamonds, best suited to confident, outgoing wearers. Khloe Kardashian wears an incredible 12.5-carat radiant cut engagement ring.
Personality type: Classic Bride.
There is nothing more romantic and endearing than a heart cut diamond – it calls attention to love because it is the shape of love personified. If you're looking to start a conversation about love, this is the engagement ring for you. Lady Gaga was given a heart-shaped engagement ring by Taylor Kinney.
Personality type: Passionate Bride.
An oval-shaped diamond can possess the same number of facets as a round-cut stone, allowing it to produce fantastic sparkle. The oval cut is elegant and regal and can be seen on Blake Lively and Hayley Bieber.
Personality type: Sophisticated Bride.
Marquise cut diamonds often give the appearance of being larger than life due to their extraordinary shape. This shape elongates your fingers, adding elegance and style, making it the ideal cut for those seeking a statement piece. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Portia De Rossi both wear gorgeous marquise cut rings.
Personality type: Dramatic Bride.
The pear-shaped diamond is a cross between an oval and marquise styles. It's not as popular as other styles for diamond engagement rings, but it is a bold style. Most famously worn by the stunning Victoria Beckham.
Personality type: Contemporary Bride.
Linneys are committed to selecting only premium quality diamonds from guaranteed sources. The Kimberley Process is a United Nations-mandated forum focusing on stemming conflict diamonds' flow into the international market. When purchasing a diamond from Linneys, you buy a quality, hand-selected stone from a conflict-free source.
Our award-winning jewellers' experience, skill, and expertise are tantamount to the high quality of Linneys jewellery. Our diamonds are individually selected by our certified diamond specialists, and only the best radiant cut diamonds pass our rigorous quality control.

Read on to learn 4 ways jewellery can change your life…
Good self-esteem is vital to living a happy and fulfilled life. When you exude self-confidence and self-belief, you influence not only your life but the lives of those around you. Wearing a bespoke ring or a statement pendant can help project that confidence, allowing you to do what you want and live your truth in a positive and meaningful way.
Jewellery has the power to help you express who you are. From metal choice to the shade of the diamond you choose to wear on your finger, jewellery allows you to show the world your style, attitude, and brand. Custom-made pieces last for a lifetime, and a little like Anna Wintour’s blunt-fringed bob, can become signature pieces that are forever associated with you.
When a person walks into the room wearing a stunning Australian South Sea Pearl necklace, the likelihood is that someone will ask where they got it from. Items of exquisite beauty are fabulous conversation starts, allowing you to bond with other, like-minded jewellery lovers.
Some people may feel uncomfortable in social situations or uneasy when being the centre of attention. Adding layers of jewellery can allow you to escape the confines of your comfort zone and push your boundaries. Bangles and necklaces are a non-confrontational way of expressing who you are. Different types of jewellery allow you to try different styles, from classic pearl studs to the time elegance of a tennis bracelet – let your jewellery do the talking for you.
We encourage everyone to have your Linneys jewellery cleaned and checked regularly and invite you to take advantage of our complimentary jewellery cleaning service when visiting a Linneys showroom.
Our award-winning jewellers’ experience, skill, and expertise will turn your vision into reality. For years Linneys has been at the forefront of bespoke jewellery design in Perth, and we are passionate about creating incredible heirloom pieces. Seeing your vision come to life brings us joy, and we can’t wait to help you find the perfect jewellery item.

]]>With winter, your jewellery choices change, and we’re here to help guide you through Perth’s cold and wet few months.
With scarves and turtlenecks keeping you warm, short necklaces can be hidden from view. A statement pendant on a long chain will catch the eye while making you feel amazing. A longer necklace can be worn in an effortlessly chic way over your tops, roll necks, or wool dress. Pair it with a stunning Australian South Sea pearl pendant for the perfect winter accessory.
Subtle, delicate rings work well during summer when you can layer up or stack your jewellery. In winter, try drawing attention to chunkier pieces, like this lovely Freeform Australian Pearl ring. Our eye-catching rings are suitable for all occasions, so you stay warm but always look on-trend.
If you are looking to add flair and sophistication to a winter outfit, consider a brooch. Brooches not only add glamour and whimsy to your outfit, but they’re also eye-catching statement pieces. These lovely accessories ooze timeless appeal from our delightful diamond and gold snail brooch to our Australian pearl dragonfly brooch.
With layers of warm clothing, your wrists can get lost in their sleeves. The perfect solution this winter is a wrapped bracelet. These gorgeous pearl bracelets wrap around your wrist over your sleeve stylishly and appealingly.
Never underestimate the power of a pair of earrings to enhance the elegance of your appearance. From classic diamond studs to impressive, eye-catching Feather diamond drops, earrings can change your look in an instant.
Bring a splash of colour to a gloomy winter day with a coloured stone. While we are a fan of a sleek, all-black winter outfit, a unique piece of gemstone jewellery will transform your look into something spectacular. From an incredible Jasper and Diamond cocktail ring to a Freeform Amythest and Australian Pearl pendant, bring some colour to your jewellery collection this winter.

]]>The awards celebrate Western Australia’s top 40 young business people, across a diverse mix of sectors, from finance and health to law, community leadership, and retail.
Following his nomination for the 2021 40under40 Business News Awards last year, Justin submitted a 2,000-word document addressing questions outlined by Business News judges.
The submissions from entrants were assessed by over 30 judges.
The criteria recognises personal determination, commercial drive, and business success and acknowledges philanthropic and community contributions.
The 2021 gala was held at Crown Perth on Wednesday 10th March. Business News senior editor and chief judge Mark Beyer said a record number of entrants applied, making selecting a winner a challenging task.
“The judges were looking for people with a track record of sustained success over several years,” Mr. Beyer said. “While the awards are fundamentally about business success that can come in many forms. It includes people who find time, in their busy lives, to contribute to their community.”
Linneys is ecstatic for Justin, who commented, “although the awards are individual, they are made possible by an entire team. Thanks to the Linneys team - this is our award, and it’s a great reflection of the growth that our amazing brand has experienced and the successful leadership transition from one generation to the next. Special thanks to Alan, who trusted me to take over his role as Creative Director and implement growth strategies to keep our business relevant to the changing market over the last 14 years.”
As Linneys continues to grow and innovate, we remain loyal to our commitment to excellence.
Linneys is a proud family business under the second generation's leadership, and we are so excited to see this generation steer our humble business to new heights.
Established in 1972, with a fully equipped design studio located in Subiaco, Western Australia, Linneys combines traditional goldsmithing techniques with advanced modern technology.
We have been creating fine jewellery from precious materials for over 45 years, and our award-winning jewellers’ experience, skill, and expertise are displayed in the high quality of our jewellery.
The Linneys design studio transforms precious raw metals, sparkling gems, and lustrous pearls into wearable works of art.
]]>Marquise diamonds display an elongated elliptical shape, with pointed ends, and typically possess 58 facets. Due to their lithe, long and narrow shape, marquise diamonds can create the illusion of greater size. This elegant cut is known to flatter the wearer by making the finger appear longer and slimmer.
Some Marquise shaped diamonds may demonstrate a bow-tie effect which occurs when light fails to fall into the middle of the diamond, due to the cut. This can appear as a bow-tie shaped shadow in the centre of the stone. While many agree this adds to the mysticism and romance of the cut, a severe effect is undesirable. Our diamonds are carefully inspected to make sure no strongly visible bow-tie effect exist in our gems.
Marquise diamonds usually possess 1.85 – 2.00 ratio, making its length approximately twice the size of its width – the ideal balance. However, for many, choosing your marquise diamond depends on personal preference – let your heart and eyes guide you to the stone of your choice. If you desire a more rounded, wider Marquise shape, choose a lower ratio. If a narrower, more elongated shape, is what is calling you, choose a higher ratio.
“Marquise” refers to a rank in the royal family between count and duke. The rank is given by birthright, not by marriage or appointing. The original version of this diamond cut was created in the 18th century by a jeweller hired by King Louis XV, who challenged the jeweller to create a diamond to reflect the shape of the mouth of his much-loved mistress, Marquise de Pompadour.
Steeped in historical romance, this cut has a strong modern presence. Its unique shape demands to be the centre of attention. Truly versatile, marquise diamonds can be set vertically, horizontally or as stunning accent side stones.

]]>Pearl fishing is said to have originated in the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Mannar. The Australian pearl industry boomed in the mid-nineteenth century in Australia after compressed air diving suddenly gave access to the bountiful pearl oyster beds. Found just off the coast of north-western Australia, these pearl beds allowed Broome to become one of the most important pearling centres in the world.
Australian south sea pearls are highly desirable and are known for their impeccable beauty, quality, nacre, thickness, natural lustre and size. The beauty of an Australian South Sea pearl will last for generations.
A pearl is formed when a tiny irritant (piece of sand, shell, or a parasite) accidentally lodges in an oyster's soft inner body. This causes the oyster to secrete a crystalline substance called nacre, which forms layer after layer around the irritant, growing in size until a pearl is formed.
The world's first cultured pearl was created in 1893 after a tiny irritant was inserted into an oyster to encourage it to form a pearl. This procedure produced a pearl with identical properties to a natural pearl, revolutionising the pearling industry.
In the 1920s, long simple strands of pearl necklaces were highly sought after, reflecting the fashion for streamlined, unfussy designs. These long necklaces, sautoirs, measured more than 30 inches long, featuring a tassel as a pendant.
