Our Legacy & Mission
Taels was born from a legacy of craftsmanship that began with our founder's father, a watchmaker turned jeweller who migrated to Australia. Today, we transform intimidating traditions into meaningful conversations, guiding you through a personal journey of creating bespoke pieces that tell your unique storyβcombining generational craftsmanship with a warm, collaborative approach.
FOUNDERS
EM & WAIMUN
The journey to creating Taels began with Em's childhood experiences watching her father transform raw materials into treasured heirlooms, instilling in her a deep appreciation for fine craftsmanship. Together, Em and Waimun recognised how intimidating the engagement ring journey can beβoverwhelming options, high-pressure environments, and little guidance or personalisation for first-time buyers.
We established Taels with a simple vision: to make custom jewellery an enjoyable journey where you feel informed, supported, and excited about every decision. Our approach combines generational craftsmanship with honest guidance and genuine empathy, creating meaningful pieces that tell your unique story and become treasured parts of your life.
EXPERT JEWELLER
HENRY SHUM
The heart of Taels' craftsmanship lies in the skilled hands of our expert jeweller, who arrived in Australia in 1975 and has dedicated more than 35 years to creating fine jewellery. Always drawn to creativity and finer details, he studied jewellery making and attained certification in Sydney, developing a reputation for precision and quality.
His dual expertise as both a jeweller and watchmaker, servicing luxury timepieces including Rolex, brings a unique technical understanding to every piece he creates.
What makes our jeweller special is his ability to infuse each creation with meaning. Having built his own life in Australia piece by piece, he understands that jewellery isn't merely decorativeβit carries stories, marks milestones, and connects generations.
