Benjamins Jewellers

Abraham Benjamin began our family jewellery company in 1880 on Little Collins Street, right in the heart of Melbourne's jewellery precinct. His vision and dedication laid the foundation for a legacy that has endured for over a century.

Our History

After Abraham's passing, the company was run by his three sons – Lionel, Julius, and Maurice. From 1946, Lionel Benjamin's sons, Frank and Ernest, took over the reins. By 1994, Frank and David (the sons of Frank Maurice Benjamin) assumed leadership, continuing the family tradition for the next 20 years. In 2014, Frank Benjamin retired, and David Benjamin took over, ensuring the company remains in the family.

Our Legacy

Our Benjamin family jewellery company has witnessed Australia's transformation into a nation, survived two World Wars, the 1930s Depression, and various natural disasters including floods, droughts, and fires. Trading for more than 139 years in a competitive economy demonstrates the strong principles and work ethic of the Benjamin family through four generations.

Our Craftsmanship

Jewellery often marks life's celebratory moments: weddings, engagements, anniversaries, birthdays, and births, as well as occasions of mourning, religious significance, and pure pleasure. At Benjamins, we continue a 139-year tradition of crafting exquisite jewellery in gold, platinum, silver, diamonds, and precious gems for our multi-generational clientele.

Embracing Modern Technology

Times have changed, and so have we. At Benjamins, we offer our clients 21st-century technology with Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and associated 3D printing. Our clients can first glimpse their bespoke engagement rings on a computer screen in CAD form, bringing their vision to life with precision and detail.
