CRAFTSMANSHIP
At McGlades Jewellers, craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we create. Each piece is designed with care, intention and a focus on longevity.
Handmade Jewellery
Handmade jewellery is crafted from solid metal, shaped and formed by hand. This process creates a strong, dense structure designed for everyday wear and long-term durability.
Cast Jewellery
Cast jewellery is made by pouring molten metal into a mould. It allows for efficient production and detailed forms, though it may not offer the same density as handmade pieces.
For engagement rings and lifelong pieces, handmade jewellery is often preferred for its strength and lasting quality.
Our Approach
Many of our pieces are handmade and carefully finished by experienced jewellers, ensuring a level of detail and quality that stands the test of time.
Since 1939, McGlades has been part of Canberra's story. For generations, families have trusted us to mark their most meaningful moments, engagements, anniversaries, and treasured gifts passed down through time.
