Jeweller Drew Brown has been refining his craft for 25 years, and now, together with his wife has opened his first stand alone store BrownHaus in Brisbane, every bit as beautiful as his jewellery creations.

From fine jewels to elevated everyday pieces for both men and women, Brown’s jewellery creations are custom, each formed with the utmost intention and care.

Situated a stones throw from Brisbane’s chic Fortitude Valley area, Brownhaus offers what other jewellers – a personalised service carried with intention and a sensibility only someone as passionate as Brown could relay. This is exactly how Brown’s existing customer base grew, from private clients commissioning his work, to now opening his first store.

Previously designing jeweller for other brands, Brown took the next step in his profession when his wife Emma came on board as BrownHaus’ creative director.

The flagship store is luxurious, minimal and refined. The travertine-clad space elevates the fine jewellery creations and rare stones featured within some pieces. The stone in the store has been executed by Agora Stone in Brisbane, the most premium natural stone supplier in Brisbane sourcing from around the world. Other interior details include timber furniture and jewellery trays, along with the iconic Taccia table lamp design by Achille et Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos.

Through his modern lens, Brown is redefining traditional artisanship and this timeless craft of jewellery design and making in new and exciting ways.
