Gold Corporation advises:
(1-2) The Perth Mint uses jewellers/jewellery suppliers from both Perthand interstate. We try and support the industry in Perthas much as possible but some products are not available in WA.
Some of our major suppliers from Perthare:
Kailis Australian Pearls
Argyle Pink Diamonds
Lost River Diamonds
Albens Jewellers
JCJ Jewellers
Mark Synott Jewellery Designs
BrandonEnterprises
Icon Jewellery
Some of our major suppliers from interstate are:
Think Watches
IberiaJewellers
Lester Brand
Peter Benkhert Designs
Millenium Chain
The reason we use interstate jewellers is that we cannot source certain products in WA. For example, Think Watches (supplier of coin watches) are only manufactured interstate and they have obtained copyright over the product.
