Herbert Archer and Herbert Holland opened Archer & Holland Jewelers on the corner of King William and Hindley Street in 1918. Archer & Holland flourished for many years until the depression in the 1930s, when Herbert Holland bought out Herbert Archer's share of the company.

Herbert Holland continued to run the business was highly involved in Adelaide City Council. When Herbert died in 1957, Archer & Holland was taken over by his daughter until his grandson, Bill, and his wife, Meredith, purchased the business from his parents, John and Mary, in 1992.

Bill and Meredith have continued the family tradition ever since, with Bill making fine jewellery for 30 years. Bill and Meredith have constructed a considerable reputation for creating fine jewellery, remodelling, and jewellery repairs.

Archer & Holland are pleased by the fact that they fix and make nearly everything in-store, from replacing watch batteries to designing, manufacturing, and repairing each jewellery piece. Bill, who has designed for over 30 and has spent all of his career repairing and restoring jewellery, is extremely proud of the fact that he creates every single piece that he makes.

Their business is founded on quality, integrity and the highest possible standard of customer care. They desire always to be able to provide complete satisfaction to all their customers and this is why after 100 years, they continue to succeed and grow.
