​

After growing up in the workshops of renowned Designer Goldsmith, Peter Minturn MNZM, Chris learnt to uphold the core values that Peter instilled in him.  His journey started as a young boy discovering what a good piece of jewellery should look & feel like, when worn.  Later Chris successfully run his own jewellery company, Sheer Brilliance & later the Peter Minturn Goldsmith School.  Chris has a natural affinity for jewellery.  It is these values that he now brings to Minturn Jewellery.

 

Lee has had a lifelong passion for jewellery & gems.  She commenced working for Peter in early 2000 and grew to love the work that was being produced by the designer company and the busy school workshop. She built her career with passion, in the education of the arts & crafts of a professional goldsmith jeweller.   During this time, she also took up an opportunity at the prestigious retail boutique, Franich Jewellers, staying on for a period of 4 years, further strengthening her love affair of the craft.

 

In 2015, Chris & Lee set their minds to supporting a new opportunity and established a brand that resonated with their love of their family, their life’s work, & being able to bring the best of traditional & modern manufacturing methods of a goldsmiths’ studio; focusing on what is important to their clients.  Chris & Lee continue to offer a collection of jewels that are distinctly different, larger than life & fabulous to wear.
