Thomas Meihofer
Our company's story started over 25 years ago, when Thomas Meihofer opened his jewellery design studio in Subiaco. Thomas soon became known for designing and creating unique jewellery in Western Australia. This encouraged him to open his first Perth jewellery store, Thomas Meihofer Jewellery Design.
Thomas was born and raised in the cosmopolitan city of Basel, Switzerland. His jewellery conveys a strong European aesthetic, distinctive in the Australian market. His influences and inspiration come from architecture, sculpture, and all things design. He is particularly fascinated by Art-Deco design and also draws on innovative contemporary design influences as his inspiration. These design influences are represented in each of the custom designs showcased at his Subiaco studio.
As well as his selection of handcrafted pieces, Thomas presents an extraordinary range of collections from creative European artisans. These are available exclusively at Thomas Meihofer Jewellery Design.
