Looking for Beautiful Sterling Silver and Gold Jewellery in Melbourne? Here's What to Consider

Q: What is Maraux Jewellery made from?

Every Maraux piece is crafted from solid sterling silver , with all of our rings finished in a luxurious layer of 18k gold vermeil . This combination gives each piece a rich, enduring glow — outlasting regular plated jewellery. We find it not necessary for earrings to need vermeil as they are exposed to less friction, so as a result we have these plated in gold, ensuring they remain more affordable & accessible.

Q: Where can I see Maraux Jewellery in person?

Maraux jewellery has it's private HQ in Yarraville, Melbourne. You can arrange a private booking to view jewellery via contacting us at hello@maraux.com.au . Alternatively, we have our weekly residency at Daylesford Sunday Market each Sunday. Follow our Instagram for more updates.

Whether you're searching for a meaningful gift, a timeless piece for yourself, or jewellery you'll actually wear every day, finding the right jewellery brand can feel overwhelming.

With hundreds of jewellery stores across Melbourne and thousands of online options, how do you know which pieces are worth investing in?

The answer often comes down to three things: quality, design, and trust

Quality Matters More Than Trends

One of the biggest frustrations jewellery buyers experience is purchasing a piece that looks beautiful online, only to discover it tarnishes quickly, turns their skin green, or loses its shine after a few wears.

When shopping for jewellery, look for pieces crafted from quality materials such as:

Sterling silver jewellery
Gold vermeil jewellery
Solid gold jewellery
Hypoallergenic jewellery

These materials are designed to last significantly longer than fashion jewellery made from brass, copper, or mystery metals.

At Maraux Jewellery, every piece is crafted using sterling silver and 18k gold vermeil, allowing women to enjoy the luxurious appearance of gold without the solid gold price tag.

Jewellery Should Feel Timeless

Fashion trends come and go.

The jewellery you treasure often stays with you for years.

Think about the pieces you reach for most often:

A ring you wear every day
A necklace gifted by someone you love
Earrings that make you feel instantly polished

The best jewellery balances timeless elegance with modern style.

This is why Art Deco-inspired jewellery continues to remain popular. Its clean lines, vintage glamour, and sophisticated details create pieces that feel as beautiful today as they did a century ago.

The Best Jewellery Makes You Feel Something

The most memorable jewellery purchases aren't really about jewellery at all.

They're about the moments attached to them.

A birthday gift.

A wedding anniversary.

A promotion.

A personal milestone.

A reminder of your own worth.

The right piece becomes part of your story.

This is why so many women are choosing jewellery as a form of self-gifting. Rather than waiting for a special occasion, they're celebrating themselves and the lives they've built.

Why Melbourne Women Are Choosing Independent Jewellery Brands

Increasingly, women are moving away from mass-produced jewellery and seeking independent Australian jewellery brands.

Independent jewellers often provide:

More unique designs
Better customer service
Greater transparency around materials
Personalised shopping experiences
Stronger community connections

At Maraux Jewellery, every customer can book a private appointment at our Yarraville studio to view and try on pieces in person.

It's a relaxed experience where you can discover jewellery at your own pace, receive personalised styling advice, and even meet Sophie the Greyhound, our much-loved four-legged ambassador.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Maraux Jewellery made from?

Every Maraux piece is crafted from solid sterling silver, with all of our rings finished in a luxurious layer of 18k gold vermeil. This combination gives each piece a rich, enduring glow — outlasting regular plated jewellery.

We find it not necessary for earrings to need vermeil as they are exposed to less friction, so as a result we have these plated in gold, ensuring they remain more affordable & accessible.

How do I know my ring size?

Great question! There are two options. Either you can see our Ring Size Chart or you may request that we send you a free sizing kit to ensure your size is 100% accurate. We will simply require you to pay for postage. You can organise by emailing hello@maraux.com.au.
We also have our exchange policy which will allow you to change it over for a different size assuming it hasn't been worn more than to try on for size.

Why does Maraux use sterling silver instead of cheaper metals?

Because we believe jewellery should last longer than a trend. Sterling silver is a precious metal — durable, elegant, and naturally hypoallergenic. It won’t peel, flake, or turn your skin green or black. So you won't be left with nasty marks on your hands and green jewellery.

Can I wear my Maraux jewellery in water?

Your Maraux pieces can be worn in the shower. However, we recommend avoiding doing this everyday and also avoid mineral hot springs, chlorinated pools, and harsh chemicals such as perfumes, alcohol-based products, and cleaning agents. These can slowly wear down the 18k gold vermeil or plating finish over time. Treat your jewellery with a little care, and it will continue to shine with effortless elegance for years.

Where can I see Maraux Jewellery in person?

Maraux jewellery has it's private HQ in Yarraville, Melbourne. You can arrange a private booking to view jewellery via contacting us at hello@maraux.com.au . Alternatively, we have our weekly residency at Daylesford Sunday Market each Sunday. Follow our Instagram for more updates.
