Q&A with the Managing Director

  • What do you think are the biggest challenges currently facing the industry?

A challenge we still face heading into 2014 is that of a lack of apprentices in the industry. The intakes across the country have been very low and all industry members need to support the education system and apprentice schemes. The future of the Australian Jewellery industry is reliant on the intake of these apprentices.

Pink gold features the rich yellow of pure gold and the redish hue of copper to produce its warm, pink colour.

A popular & fashionable choice, it is used in all types of jewellery as its earthy, soft glow complements most skin tones. Diamonds and coloured gemstones look equally gorgeous set in this beautiful metal as well as it being combined with white and/or yellow gold.

Q&A with the Managing Director

  • What were your biggest achievements/highlights for Peter W Beck in 2013?

We have accomplished a couple of big projects this year and they have definitely been highlights in our 2013 year. The first is our accreditation for ISO standards in Precious metal Assaying. This internationally recognized certification is a wonderful achievement and a credit to our Precious Metal departments who have worked solidly over the course of the year to meet these quality processes.

The second highlight of this year was the launch of our latest Consumer Campaign, ‘We Make Love’. We have had such a brilliant response from all of our customers regarding this groundbreaking campaign and consumer awareness of Peter W Beck is building by the day. We are thrilled to be able to provide all of our customers with the material for this campaign so they too can use it to further promote their businesses.
