Charles Rose

Our long history of designing and handcrafting fine jewellery dates back to pre-World War II France, where, in 1923, Charles Rose established his humble atelier in Metz. Quickly gaining a reputation for creating bespoke jewellery, rings and watch pieces, the Charles Rose name become synonymous with enduring elegance and class. Decades later, following the ravages of war, Charles’ nephew Frederick emigrated to Australia and continued the family jewellery design artisanship from their Melbourne store – a tradition that endures to this day with Marcus Rose, his son, at the helm.

Today, Charles Rose continues to embody the ethos of quality, beauty and timelessness in every design. As Australia’s premier fine diamond house and bespoke jeweller, we ensure our exquisite engagement rings and signature pieces are expertly crafted into unique creations epitomising excellence and everlasting love
