Discover MDTdesign: Melbourne’s Premier Handmade Jewellery Boutique

A Legacy of Handmade Jewellery Craftsmanship

Since 1981, MDTdesign has been at the heart of Melbourne’s jewellery scene. Originally located on Swanston St for nearly 30 years, we have now settled into our stunning new home on Collins St. As an iconic Melbourne business, we specialize in the traditional art of handmade jewellery, a craft that is increasingly rare in an industry dominated by mass production.

Unique, Durable, and Timeless Handmade Jewellery

At MDTdesign, we pride ourselves on creating handmade jewellery that stands the test of time. In contrast to the 99% of jewellers who opt for mass production, we meticulously craft each piece by hand. This dedication ensures that our jewellery is not only more durable but also imbued with a unique, heirloom quality that mass-produced items simply cannot match. As one of the few boutiques on Collins St offering entirely handmade jewellery, our creations are designed to last for generations.

Innovative Techniques and Exquisite Handmade Jewellery Designs

Our commitment to handmade jewellery allows us to create both the highest caliber classic designs and specialize in intricate and innovative designs, offering a variety of unique techniques:

All About Handmade Melbourne Jewellery

Tension Set Diamonds

The tension set diamond technique, only achievable through the strength instilled in the metal throughout the handmade jewellery process, sets the diamond using only the tension within the metal, leaving the bottom of the stone fully exposed. This maximizes light exposure and creates a breathtaking 360-degree view.

Mokume Gane Rings

Mokume Gane Metal is an ancient Japanese technique originally used for crafting samurai swords. By layering precious metals like 18ct yellow gold and 18ct white gold, we create a distinctive woodgrain pattern, adding a unique touch to your handmade wedding band or piece of jewellery.

Australia’s Most Awarded Jewellers

MDTdesign is proud to be Australia’s most awarded jewellers. Our boutique’s walls are lined with accolades, and our cabinets showcase pieces that are true works of art. Each award and each piece reflect our unwavering dedication to quality and handmade jewellery craftsmanship.

Comprehensive On-Site Jewellery Workshop Services

Behind our boutique in the Heart of Melbourne, we house an on-site jewellery workshop. This facility enables us to perform all our crafting processes, as well as offer services such as remakes, repairs, and resizes. This ensures that every piece of MDTdesign handmade jewellery receives the meticulous care and attention it deserves.
