What Stephen Dibb Jewellery does

Stephen Dibb Jewellery is a Brisbane, Australia-based custom jewellery design and manufacturing business founded by Stephen Dibb in 1987, operating three retail studio locations across the Brisbane metro area (Holland Park, Brisbane CBD Arcade, and Cleveland/Redland Bay). Its product portfolio centres on handcrafted engagement rings, wedding and eternity bands, dress rings, coloured gemstone rings, pendants, earrings, and men's jewellery, with all pieces custom-designed and made to order. The business is differentiated by traditional craft techniques, particularly Mokume Gane (a Japanese metal-fusion technique for fusing sterling silver with yellow, rose and white gold to create wood-grain patterns), and specialised stone-setting methods.
