Blackfinch

Overview

Jewellery can be hard to get right for someone else — looking at you, weaved plastic rope bracelets we all made for mum when we were younger — but there are some places which make it a little easier for you. Blackfinch is one of them: the handcrafted jewellery store was established by Raymond de Zwart and Davina Adamson in 2007. The pair produce beautiful, collaborative pieces that tell a story, to suit whoever you're gifting — this is where you can get your significant other a ring that says "thanks for not getting angry at me leaving the towels on the floor all the time" etc. Blackfinch specialises in ethically sourced Australian stones, so you'll leave its Northcote studio space with something both precious and enduring (hopefully like your relationship).
