Fine Jewellery

What makes fine jewellery different from fashion jewellery?

Fine jewellery mainly differs from fashion jewellery in terms of the materials used, craftsmanship, and durability. Fine jewellery is made from high-quality precious metals such as solid gold, vermeil gold, or sterling silver. They also feature genuine gemstones like emeralds, sapphires, diamonds and moissanite. 

While stylish and trendy, fashion jewellery is typically made from cheaper, non-precious materials such as base metals, plastic, or synthetic stones. Furthermore, fashion jewellery, unlike fine jewellery, is often mass-produced. Fine jewellery is seen as a symbol of luxury whereas fashion jewellery serves as a fun, on-trend, accessory worn for a season and no more.

Is fine jewellery a good investment?

Yes, fine jewellery can be a great investment, especially if you choose an artfully crafted piece made from precious metals and gemstones. These precious metals and stones tend to hold or even increase in value over time due to their enduring quality, unlike fashion jewellery which can lose its appeal as trends change.

Fine jewellery is not only a good investment, it also makes a great family heirloom that can be passed down through the generations. When chosen wisely, fine jewellery can offer value and beauty. 

Does Camile and Stone offer custom fine jewellery pieces?

If you want fine jewellery that both exudes luxury and is personal to you, why not opt for a customised piece. We offer fine jewellery items such as necklaces that include letters and initials for a personal touch. You can also select your birthstone and customise a ring, necklace, or bracelet to reflect your birthdate.

We also offer an engraving service, allowing you to inscribe a thoughtful message, meaningful symbol, or name onto a fine jewellery piece. This is a great idea for a truly personal gift that lets your loved one know how much they mean to you.

What fine jewellery styles are trending in 2026?

Fine jewellery follows many of the same trends as any other jewellery collection. However, with fine jewellery there is an element of luxury and timelessness that means these pieces can be worn season after season. Look out for the following trends in fine jewellery design for 2026:

• Gemstone rings: Rich sapphires and emeralds add a pop of colour that can elevate any outfit.
• Bold gold: The iridescent, warm glow of gold jewellery has always been alluring, but this look is even more desirable this year. 
• Layering: Wearing layers of elegant fine jewellery is a way to add texture and individuality to timeless fine jewellery, bringing it into 2026. Try layering necklaces and stacking rings to get the look.
• Modern pearls: Pearls are making a comeback. Once seen as an old-fashioned accessory, pearls have been reworked into modern fine jewellery pieces that look bang up-to-date.

What are the best metals for fine jewellery, and how do I choose the right one?

The best metal for fine jewellery is the one that you prefer. However, there are a few precious metals that are commonly used in fine jewellery production. We use either 14k or 18k solid gold, gold vermeil (18K gold on 925 silver), or sterling silver across all our jewellery ranges, including our fine jewellery collection. 

As for choosing the right piece, we can guarantee that you won’t be let down by poor quality pieces. Our fine jewellery collection is designed to extremely high standards at the Camile and Stone studio in Melbourne, Australia. 

Can I wear fine jewellery every day, or is it just for special occasions?

The beauty behind our fine jewellery collection is that we have created pieces that are hard-wearing enough to be worn every day and not only for special occasions. Crafted with durability and elegance in mind, our fine jewellery collection is designed to complement your casual daily wear equally well as formal evening attire.

You can go from daytime office wear to nighttime elegance without a worry, as a fine jewellery piece from Camile and Stone is the perfect transition accessory. We blend together practicality with beauty to create fine jewellery pieces that adapt to the demands of modern life.

How do I determine the right size for fine rings, bracelets, or necklaces?

We recognise that getting the right size jewellery can be tricky. For chain bracelets and necklaces it is easier to measure your neck and wrists so that your fine jewellery fits well. We also offer longer necklaces and shorter chains depending on your preferred lengths.

Ring sizes can be more fiddly to ascertain. If you do not know your ring size or are having trouble getting an accurate measurement, we have a ring sizing tool that can help you out. Simply order our ring sizer, pop it on your finger, ensuring that it's snug but can easily slide over your knuckle. Then read the arrow on the buckle, which will point to your right ring size. 

Can I mix fine jewellery with fashion jewellery for a stylish look?

Of course, there’s no rule to say you can’t mix and match fine jewellery with fashion jewellery. In fact, blending the two can make for a stylish and contemporary look. Both types of jewellery have something to offer. The fine jewellery provides you with a touch of elegance, whilst fashion jewellery pieces offer a fun, trendy flair.
