I have a jewellers desk for sale. It's as good as new, and comes with some tools if you need them. I've attached a few pics. Send me an email if you're interested. nicolebe@phm.gov.au

HI Everyone,
My boyfriend and I are both Goldsmiths living and working in Cape Town, SA but we are looking to move to Australia and will probably end up in Sydney to begin with but we are also looking at Melbourne. Any advice on which shops or galleries to approach to stock our work would be great, or even any advice about the industry there would be much appreciated! (Sydney vs Melbourne)

I have my own line of jewellery that I produce full time, and Brett works as the in-house manufacturer for a shop in Cape Town. I would love to continue doing my own thing when I get to Australia, but might have to get a shop job designing or manufacturing for a while in the beginning while we get established, so any helpful advice would go a long way!

Thanks so much.
Tiffany
