Where It All Began
In 1970, John and Dell Stone recognised a gap in Brisbane’s jewellery market. At a time when mass-produced chains dominated the city, they envisioned a jeweller that was personal, refined, and focused on creating pieces of lasting significance.
Their philosophy was simple but powerful: to offer jewellery that combined exceptional craftsmanship, genuine value, and honest service. That same year, they opened their first store, trading as Stones Diamond Ring Specialists — a name that would soon become synonymous with trust, quality, and timeless elegance.
From bespoke engagement rings to heirloom-quality pieces, every item created by Stones was designed to be cherished not just for years, but for generations. This dedication to craft and care set Stones apart from the very beginning and remains at the heart of everything we do.
Crafted with Care, Cherished for Life
Stones has built its reputation on more than beautiful jewellery — it is grounded in service, integrity, and attention to detail. For over 55 years, clients have returned to us for life’s most meaningful milestones — engagements, weddings, anniversaries, and celebrations that mark the chapters of a lifetime.
The jewellery we craft is designed to endure. Each piece is meticulously handmade by our skilled artisans in the historic Brisbane Arcade, combining traditional techniques with modern precision. Whether it’s a diamond ring, a coloured gemstone pendant, or a custom heirloom, our goal is to ensure every item becomes a treasured family keepsake.
A Family Tradition, Three Generations Strong
Though John and Dell are no longer with us, their vision and values continue through their family. Their son, Paul Stone, and grandson, William Stone, now carry forward the Stones legacy, combining decades of expertise with fresh perspective and innovation.
Paul brings over 40 years of experience to the business, guiding the team with a steady hand and unparalleled knowledge of gemology and craftsmanship. William, representing the third generation, combines a modern vision with a deep respect for the traditions that have always defined Stones. Together, they ensure that every client receives the personal, attentive service that has been the cornerstone of our reputation.
Supporting them is a dedicated team of long-serving colleagues, including Denise, Gayle, and Paul’s wife, Kerri, each with over 20 years of experience. Their collective expertise, passion, and meticulous attention to detail are woven into every piece we create.
