In 1959 a brooch was chosen as a gift to the young Princess Alexandra of Kent to mark her visit to Australia. The piece had been made by a young jeweller named Kenneth Mansergh.

Shortly after Kenneth developed his design workshop that was to receive many important awards over the coming decades, among them 2 Diamond International Awards, 7 Australian Design Awards and a commission for “The Diamond Rose” to celebrate the opening of the Sydney Opera House.

H.M. Queen Elizabeth II was to receive a spectacular piece of Kenneth’s creativity when she was presented with a solid gold and diamond replica of the wishing well featuring “Islay” (Queen Victoria’s favourite dog) to celebrate the opening of the Queen Victoria Building.

The Commonwealth Government commissioned special items for various heads of state visits including gifts for The Shah of Persia, The president of Burma, The First Lady of the USA.

Kenneth freely admits to an insatiable enthusiasm for creating beautiful jewellery notable for their traditional “by hand” craftsmanship or the radical 8 simple lines that stamp his reputation.

The Mansergh association with Percy Marks over the past 15 years and continuous support from his many clients is further evidence of his commitment to excellence.
