1921
G F Edwards Jewellers is founded in Sydney
One of seven children, George Frederick Edwards trained as a ringmaker in Birmingham before sailing to Australia at the age of 21.
After working as a jeweller in Kalgoolie he was enlisted in WWI as a watchmaker, and upon returning to Australia he decided to settle on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
​
It was at 13 Sydney Road, Manly that G F Edwards Jewellers was founded on 1921. He ran the family business through the great depression & WWII, only retiring in the 1950s.
​
He is pictured here with two siblings in the late 1890s in front of their home in Birmingham.

Lucy Edwards creates
Champagne Every Day jewellery
"When I first started working in champagne, I fell truly madly deeply in love with both the wine and the region. The undeniable mix of art & science required to create the world’s most prestigious wines became an intense obsession & I wanted to show my love for champagne with a lucky charm.
Through the serendipidous meeting of a third generation jeweller in Bali in 2018, a collection of silver, gold & rose gold talismans was born.
Three years into the adventure, my ancestry research yielded some interest results: my great grandfather who trained & worked as a silversmith in Birmingham, moved to Sydney to set up Frederick Edwards Jewellers in 1921.
​
Today I strive to bring back the family legacy, support the perenity of artisanal communities & create exceptional pieces for champagne lovers to share their passion."
