Jewellery is about so much more than shine and bling for Sue Gaylard.
Each piece is as multi-faceted as a diamond, containing a unique sentiment,
statement and story that makes it one of a kind. Every single treasure at
Avenue J on the Mooloolaba Esplanade has been consciously hand-selected
by Sue, where the seamless combination of modern and antique jewellery
sets this boutique store apart from the rest. Avenue J Jewellery has become
a must-see destination for lovers of fine jewellery, showcasing an extensive
range of stunning and rare one-off pieces from the Georgian, Victorian,
Art Nouveau, Edwardian and Art Deco periods sourced from all over the world,
providing you with a journey that is a feast for the eyes and the heart.
Our significant Antique Jewellery range has been sourced from highly
respected contacts scattered around the world. Here at Avenue J Jewellery,
we are immensely proud of our handmade designer pieces and show stopping
one off pieces. “Whenever I see a piece, I look into its story and that’s when
I decide whether it will fit into the energy we are cultivating in the shop.
Jewellery is all about the sentiment and that is the case whether it is antique
jewellery or modern pieces,” Sue says. From a young age, Sue developed a
firm belief that it is important to respect everything you have from the shoes
on your feet through to the furniture you use, and especially jewellery.
“I was taught the power of history and how anything can have longevity if it is
cared for and respected,” she says. The vast collection at Avenue J has been
cultivated over eight years and features a number of “one-of-akind” works of art.
“I love nothing more than being on a mission to find something someone has their
heart set on. When we get requests, I am pretty determined, and I get a kick out of
finding the perfect piece.” Sue says. “We offer such a tremendous variety that we can
match a piece to anyone’s tastes, from those who know specifically what they want,
to those who are waiting to be inspired when they see something they love on display.”
