What we love:
These Diamonds are sublime, bright, white & lively, this is such a sturdy & well crafted ring which looks and feels so lux on!
Stradling the period just before pure Art Deco really took off, this ring has both symmetry and fauna inspired design details.
A Brief History of the Maker:
Wendts Jewellers Pty Ltd (est. Adelaide, 1854 - present)
Joachim Matthias Wendt arrived in Port Adelaide in 1854, just 18 years after the foundation of South Australia. He was born in 1830 in Denmark.
He brought his skills to South Australia, quickly opening a small watchmaking and jewellery shop in Pirie Street, Adelaide. Business was good and so he soon moved to better premises in Rundle Street.
Wendt's soon became recognised as a high quality jewellery shop. The jewellery, silverware, watches and clocks were equal to the best which were being imported at the time.
In 1867 he was appoint the official jeweller to the Duke of Edinburgh during his official visit to South Australia & was the recipient of many awards for excellence. Wendts pieces are represented at the Art Gallery of South Australian and the Museum of Applied Science.
