The Jewel Crest name is closely connected with Donald Hamilton Simpson (1912–1987), one of Australia’s most recognised jewellery designers. His company produced high-quality costume jewellery from the late 1940s through to the early 1970s, using materials such as Aurora Borealis crystals, decorative beads, and gold or silver tone finishes.
Simpson’s designs are admired for their craftsmanship and elegant mid-century styling, and today remain highly collectible examples of Australian vintage costume jewellery.
