Hardy Brothers Jewellers unveil the Emirates Melbourne Cup

For 29 years running, Hardy Brothers Jewellers are still the proud makers of the iconic Emirates Melbourne Cup.  Respectfully, we were there to see the prestigious 18ct gold Cup at its only Perth appearance.

Comprised of 34 pieces of hand-beaten 18ct Gold, with a base in French polished Black Wattle and a total weight of 1,650 grams, the finished trophy is valued at over $80,000.

In a race that stops the nation, Hardy Brothers Jewellers have also become just as iconic and first opened doors in Sydney in 1854.

“The quality and workmanship of Hardy Brothers Jewellers has ensured their appointment as the only Australian jeweller in the Southern Hemisphere to hold the Queen’s Royal Warrant – an honour bestowed on them for their exceptional standards and fine craftsmanship which is showcased nationally in Hardy Brothers Jewellers Sydney, Hardy Brothers Jewellers Brisbane, Hardy Brothers Jewellers Melbourne, Hardy Brothers Jewellers Perth and Hardy Brothers Jewellers Cairns.”
