Passion for jewellery

A CRANBOURNE jeweller, which was the first store of its kind to open in the suburb more than 40 years ago, has just re-opened its doors.
South Gippsland Jewellers, which now lies in the Cranbourne Park complex, closed down for a short period of time for renovations.
However its doors are wide open once again and visitors to the store may just find it isn’t quite the same as before.
Owner Toni said it was time to embrace what was happening to the complex around them.
“We felt it was important for our store to have a major refurbishment to coincide with the new centre,” she said.
“We were shut down for a few weeks but are open just in time for Valentine’s Day.”
South Gippsland Jewellers moved into the complex in 1980 and is now excited to announce a new logo, new furniture and a revamped store.
The store is also set to stock a unique diamond, the Passion Eight and Toni believes her store may be one of very few, possibly the only store to be able to offer the gem.
Cranbourne Park is currently undergoing major renovations and is set to welcome a number of new brands and stores to its complex.
