Our Manufacturing Process

Meg Maskell Fine Jewellery pieces are Australian made in our Sydney workshop using ethically sourced diamonds, individually selected coloured gemstones and precious metals sourced from trusted Australian suppliers who are members of the Responsible Jewellery Council.

Originally training in graphic design while working within the jewellery world from her early teen years, Meg's approach to design has always balanced creativity and craftsmanship with a strong understanding of how jewellery is made, worn and lived in over time. Meg undertook an apprenticeship in handmade jewellery manufacturing before further training in gemstone setting. More than 17 years on, that workshop experience continues to shape every piece today. Each design is created with careful consideration given to structure, balance, longevity and the finer details that influence how a piece feels once worn.

At the core of Meg Maskell Fine Jewellery is our Sydney workshop, where each piece is carefully handcrafted by a team of trained jewellers and craftspeople. Our close-knit team places a strong focus on craftsmanship, consistency and attention to detail throughout every stage of the process.

The workshop also continues a long tradition of passing down jewellery manufacturing skills through the training of the next generation, helping preserve many of the bench techniques and practical knowledge that have long formed part of the craft. From initial design through to final polishing, every piece remains closely overseen by Meg to ensure it aligns with the standards and level of refinement the workshop is known for.

Traditional bench techniques remain central to the workshop today, sitting alongside modern manufacturing methods that continue to evolve. Many of the skills and processes used within the workshop are still closely connected to generations of jewellery craftsmanship, while modern tools allow for greater precision throughout the making process.

The process itself is often far more hands-on than many people expect, with each piece moving through multiple stages of forming, soldering, refining, stone setting and finishing before reaching its final form. During production, pieces often appear far more raw and unfinished than many people would imagine, often only taking on their final refinement during the later stages of polishing and finishing.
