Mark Nuell is a goldsmith and lapidary artist. He cuts rough gemstones into unique designs, reflecting the natural beauty of each stone. With 30 years of goldsmithing experience, Mark integrates the gems into exquisite jewellery pieces.

The inspiration for creating jewellery and fascination with gemstones came from early contact with raw gems in Australia, where Mark’s father mined sapphires.

His family emigrated to Australia from the UK in the 1960s with the promise of adventure. His father loved the Australian bush and fossicking for garnets, opals and chalcedony until he heard of the incredible sapphire finds at the Central Queensland Gemfields. The family moved to Rubyvale and mined sapphires for 30 years.
