A Legacy of Craftsmanship, Built on Integrity
Where It All Began
In 1970, John and Dell Stone saw an opportunity to bring something more refined and personal to Brisbane’s jewellery landscape. At a time when chain stores dominated, they chose a different path — one focused on craftsmanship, authenticity, and creating bespoke pieces that would hold meaning for generations. Their vision was simple: offer beautifully made jewellery, honest value, and exceptional service.
That same year, they opened their first store and began trading as Stones Diamond Ring Specialists — a name that would go on to earn the trust of thousands of clients across Brisbane and beyond.
Crafted with Care, Cherished for Life
From the beginning, Stones has built its reputation on quality, service, and workmanship. These values continue to define us today. Our clients return to us for life’s most meaningful moments — engagements, anniversaries, birthdays, and milestones — because they know they’ll receive not just a product, but a personalised experience.
Many of our clients are now second and third-generation family members, a testament to the enduring relationships we’ve built. The jewellery we create is made to be treasured — heirloom pieces, handcrafted by our team of jewellers right here in the historic Brisbane Arcade.
A Family Tradition, Three Generations Strong
Although John and Dell are no longer with us, their legacy continues through their son Paul, and now their grandson William — the third generation to carry the Stones name. With William now fully immersed in the craft and business, the future of Stones is both deeply rooted and full of promise.
