A symbol of love and legacy

Jewellery boxes like this one are more than containers. They represent love, commitment, and ritual. This piece complements other items in our collection that explore marriage and the declaration of love. 

Hamilton’s retail story

Halls Jewellers Ltd was founded in 1931 by Frederick S. Hall and Charles F. Hall. Located on Victoria Street, it was part of a bustling strip of shops that shaped the city’s commercial identity. The business’s legacy continues today through Walker & Hall, a name still familiar to many across Aotearoa.
