Director and CEO Cheri Brunt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indailysa.com.au\/news\/business\/2026\/05\/25\/fifth-generation-adelaide-jeweller-sparkles-at-national-awards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">told local media<\/a> that family values are reflected in the company&#8217;s day-to-day interactions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Being that family business, people come in and trust us with their stories and their most meaningful moments,&#8221; she said<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They sort of come in and become part of our family, which is beautiful as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The business previously received the Greater Adelaide Local Business Award: Outstanding Jeweller in October 2025. Reflecting on the history of the business, Brunt said its humble origins remain ingrained in its practices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe families were not, you know, wealthy families, but doing what we could do to survive initially. My dad, Keith, had originally wanted to make rings. He was born in 1932, and I think their family certainly experienced war,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that had a massive impact on his life, the business, and what they wanted to build.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1919 by Edgar Bell in Croydon, the fifth-generation jeweller relocated to James Place in 1942. William Brunt and Edgar Bell Jr joined prior to the move, and the Brunt family has managed the company since.<\/p>\n<p>More reading<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewellermagazine.com\/Article\/14370\/2025-Australian-Opal-Awards-winners-in-the-spotlight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">2025 Australian Opal Awards winners in the spotlight<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewellermagazine.com\/Article\/14575\/Museums-Victoria-announces-winner-of-new-gold-jewellery-competition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Museums Victoria announces winner of new gold jewellery competition<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewellermagazine.com\/Article\/14487\/Hong-Kong-Planning-for-the-future-of-the-jewellery-industry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Hong Kong: Planning for the future of the jewellery industry<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewellermagazine.com\/Article\/14442\/Showcase-Jewellers-celebrates-members-with-special-event\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Showcase Jewellers celebrates members with special event<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewellermagazine.com\/Article\/14423\/2025-Sydney-Fair-And-the-winner-is\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">2025 Sydney Fair: And the winner is&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewellermagazine.com\/Article2\/14687\/Find-it-now-2026-Jeweller-Suppliers-Directory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/169985-1000px.png\" style=\"width:121px;height:180px;border-radius:5px;padding:15px;\" originalurl=\"https:\/\/www.jewellermagazine.com\/Img\/169985\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">2026 JEWELLERS&#8217;
