1. General

  2. Where are you based?

    Our Studio and flagship store is based in Fitzroy, Melbourne. We also have stores in London and on the Mornington Peninsula. 

  3. What is gold plating and vermeil?

    Vermeil is a term used for jewelry made of sterling silver and coated with gold. The word “vermeil” comes from French and is pronounced “ver-may.” The term vermeil is legally regulated and to qualify, a piece of jewelry must meet certain criteria. Its base must be sterling silver, it must be plated in gold of at least 10 karats, and the gold plating must have a thickness of at least 2.5 microns. We only offer 18K vermeil and plate 4 microns as standard. We will vermeil bracelets, earrings and necklaces for an additional $200, however we do not vermeil rings, sorry!

  4. Can I wear my jewellery in water?

    All of our jewelry can be worn all the time and all of our stones, including Aussie opals are colorfast, but we suggest taking them off when gardening, rock climbing or doing anything dangerous. 

  5. Do you engrave?

    1. Yes! We engrave custom pieces only. It is an additional $100, please allow a few extra days for this process and advise the team during the custom consultation. 
  6. What's the difference between lab grown and natural stones?

    Lab stones are amazing and are a great choice for so many reasons. They have a lighter carbon footprint, are more ethical, no mining is involved, they are flawless and cost less. 

  7. Where do you source all your jewels?

    Millie has spent years sourcing and building strong relationships with gemologists and suppliers from all over the world having regularly attended gem trade shows in Hong Kong and Bangkok. All opals come directly from miners in Mintabie, South Australia and most of our diamonds come from suppliers in Melbourne.
