Our Story
Established in 1980, Burlington Jewellery is a family-run business with a long-standing love of fine jewellery, beautiful craftsmanship, and pieces with a story to tell.
Our journey began on Collins Street in Melbourne, inspired by a passion for antiques and a belief that jewellery should be chosen with care, offered with honesty, and treasured for years to come.
From the beginning, Burlington has brought together antique, vintage, and contemporary pieces, each selected for its beauty, quality, and individual character. Our collection has always been shaped by variety, from jewellery rich in history to timeless designs made for today.
In the late 1980s, Burlington moved from the city to High Street in Armadale, joining Melbourne’s well-known antique precinct. Although our time there was brief, it became an important part of our story and helped shape the direction of the business.
A new chapter began in 1990 when we opened at Chadstone Shopping Centre. At the time, antique jewellery was still considered a niche market, and we wanted to make these remarkable pieces more accessible without losing the history and charm that made them special.
Over the years, Chadstone became much more than a store. It was a place where relationships were built, familiar faces returned, and generations of clients came to choose jewellery for engagements, weddings, anniversaries, and other meaningful moments.
In 2008, we opened our second store at Westfield Doncaster. It quickly became known for its warm service, trusted advice, and the lasting relationships formed with our local community.
In 2014, Burlington returned to the city with the opening of our Little Collins Street store, bringing our journey full circle while allowing the business to continue growing and evolving.
In 2026, Burlington Jewellery entered a new and more focused chapter. Following the closure of our Chadstone store in April, we now operate exclusively from our Doncaster location.
While saying goodbye to Chadstone marked the end of an important era, it also gave us the opportunity to bring our attention, experience, and care together in one place, with one dedicated team and one welcoming store.
Through every chapter, the heart of Burlington Jewellery has remained the same.
We continue to carefully source jewellery for its quality, beauty, and value, always offering honest guidance and thoughtful service. From 19th-century antiques to contemporary designs, every piece has its own story and the possibility of becoming part of yours.
We are incredibly proud of the journey that has brought us here and deeply grateful to every client who has supported us along the way.
Today, our team continues to welcome clients with the same care and dedication that have guided Burlington Jewellery since 1980, helping each person find a piece that feels truly special.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Doncaster store and sharing the next chapter of Burlington Jewellery with you.
From Chadstone, With Love
When we first opened our Chadstone store in 1990, we could not have imagined it would become 36 years of our story 🤍
It started small, simple, and full of hope. This was where it all began.
Over time, the store evolved five times, each chapter quietly reflecting where we were in life and in craft.
In those early days, our windows were filled with antique chains, gold bracelets, daisy rings, and three-stone pieces, designs that would go on to become part of so many personal milestones.
Engagements. Anniversaries. Gifts. Memories.
But looking back, it was never really just about the jewellery. It was always about our clients.
Some of our clients first found us in the 90s, then years later returned with their children, watching them choose their own engagement rings and continuing a story that spanned generations.
As our Chadstone store closed in April 2026, we felt deep gratitude for everything it became.
Our journey continues through our Doncaster boutique, where the same heart, craft, and care carry forward everything that began there.
