Love premium bespoke jewellery? Fancy yourself as a foodie?

Then combine the two high-end experiences. Sydney’s grand Strand Arcade – still one of the most beautiful shopping destinations in Australia – has hit on a masterstroke for the gourmet who has everything: a jewellery masterclass where you learn about what you’re wearing while you feast on a five-course gourmet dinner with matching wines, created by the acclaimed Strand Arcade restaurant, Pendolino.

Raphael Jewellers is located just metres away from Australia’s busiest shopping precinct, but seems a world away from the steel and glass facades and crowds that define Sydney’s Pitt Street Mall.

Indeed visitors to the store, on the second level of 122-year-old Strand Arcade, could be forgiven for thinking they had magically stepped back into time.

The store is fitted out with an eclectic mix of antique furniture (including magnificent armchairs and an English timber chest displaying a copy of ‘The London News’ from 1855) and every spare space seems to be burgeoning with curios and artefacts from around the globe. And in between all these objets d’art are the store’s own treasures – its high-end jewellery designs.
