I would best describe the Australian Arts and Gems Gallery as jewellery store, with some Aboriginal art and products also for sale.
The jewellery includes a large selection of handmade silver pieces by Australian designers, using stones like hematite, garnet, carnelian, coral, turquoise and onyx, as well as opals and pearls. All of these have been sourced from Australia and are accompanied by a certificate with purchase.
The store can be found on the
Nurse's Walk, which is a historic and largely hidden alleyway in The Rocks between Harrington Street and George Street. Only accessible by pedestrians, there are quite a few stores back here, like Buttons Buttons Buttons,
The Crystal Gallery and
Australian Alpaca Barn, as well as cafes like
Scarlett Restaurant and
The Vintage Café on The Rocks.
