Discover the timeless beauty of the past, reimagined for the present
James Alfredson, a family-run jewellery boutique, is situated in the historic Howey Place in the heart of Melbourne's famed shopping precinct. Since its establishment in October 2008, the boutique has been specialising in authentic antique, vintage and estate jewellery, including engagement rings, from Georgian to Art Deco to the 1960s. The boutique is a testament to the passion and appreciation of period jewellery of its founder, James, who has a background in archaeology and history.
Before establishing his own boutique, James spent ten years involved in different aspects of the antique and fine jewellery trade while acquiring his gemmological, diamond grading, and valuer's qualifications. His ongoing objective is to collect a stock of exciting jewellery mainly from the Georgian period to the 1960s. A selection of his current collection is featured on this website.
