Sel Pilgrim Silver & Goldsmith

Welcome to Sel Pilgrim Silver & Goldsmith, a renowned establishment located at Ridgeway Avenue in Southport, Australia. With a rich history spanning over five decades, Sel Pilgrim has been a pioneer in the world of jewellery, manufacturing and retailing exquisite pieces from his own studio.

Since starting his career in 1970, Sel has been a prominent figure in the industry, exhibiting annually with the Queensland Jewellery Workshop (JMGQ) and showcasing his work at prestigious galleries such as Design Art, Victor Mace, and Cintra House. His dedication to craftsmanship and artistic expression has earned him a well-deserved reputation as a master goldsmith.

In 1980, Sel embarked on a new venture by opening a studio, workshop, school, and showroom in Short Street, Southport. This innovative concept allowed him to create bespoke jewellery for his esteemed clients while also nurturing the talents of aspiring jewellery artists. The school quickly gained popularity, attracting around forty students who were eager to learn from Sel's expertise.

In 1987, Sel realized his vision by purpose-building Studio 87, the current hub of his creative process. This state-of-the-art studio continues to welcome students on a weekly basis, providing them with a unique opportunity to learn from a true industry veteran. Additionally, clients seeking bespoke pieces can visit Studio 87 to discuss their ideas and place a commission.

Sel's contributions to the jewellery community extend beyond his own studio. In 1988, he was appointed as the National President of Jewellers and Metalsmiths Australia, a testament to his leadership and expertise. During his tenure, he hosted the 5th Biennial Conference (JMGA) on the Gold Coast, further solidifying Australia's position in the global jewellery landscape.

Even after five decades in the industry, Sel's passion for creating original works for his clients remains unwavering. His commitment to excellence, attention to detail, and innovative designs continue to captivate jewellery enthusiasts and collectors alike.
