About Us

Jewellery for most carries a sentimental story, it is an admission statement of personal fashion, and it celebrates and inspires countless cultural and traditional milestones that live on as the tangible memory of experience. For us at The Little Workshop, our mission is to create representational pieces that capture you, your style and your story. 

From grassroot beginnings in South Africa, our owner and head jeweller Barry Little knew he wanted to work with his hands. Starting out as a jewellery apprentice, a distant career from his original idea of carpentry, Barry's passion for the smaller, finer and more unique designs and manufacturing grew into a lifelong dedication to jewellery craftmanship. 

From South Africa to England, and now settled in Australia, Barry established The Little Workshop in 2012 with the goal to deliver a community driven jewellers that offers high quality in house custom designs, repair and manufacturing as well as an accessible retail space. 

Our team work meticulously to maintain the high standard and distinguished reputation Barry has achieved within the local community and beyond. It is our pleasure to welcome you to our shop, we hope you feel confident and inspired for your next piece of jewellery!
