Donald Hamilton Simpson (1912–1987) was a prominent Australian jewellery designer whose company produced high-quality costume jewellery from the late 1940s through to the early 1970s. His creations were sold under several trademarks including Simpson and Jewel Crest.
Simpson jewellery became admired for its craftsmanship and the use of beautiful materials such as Austrian crystals, cultured pearls, rhodium plated metals and decorative stones, often arranged in elegant floral and sculptural mid-century designs. Today these pieces are highly sought after by collectors of Australian vintage costume jewellery.
