Design
Custom jewellery design covers everything from concept to finished piece. Many jewellers can guide you through stone and metal options, then create made-to-order designs to suit your style and budget.
The Hinton name has been part of Adelaide’s jewellery heritage since 1864, when the family first operated as pawnbrokers in Gawler Place before evolving into fine jewellers under Jo Hinton. Continuing this legacy, Shane Hinton crafted his first gold pendant at 14 and later joined the family business in Adelaide Arcade in 1980, mastering engraving, stone setting, and handmade fabrication.
When his father retired, Shane established his own workshop, quickly earning recognition as Adelaide’s only hand engraver for more than 30 years. His skill in making, setting, and engraving jewellery set a new standard of craftsmanship and precision.
Since relocating to Balhannah in 2003, Shane has built a loyal following throughout the Adelaide Hills. Specialising in redesigns, engagement and wedding rings, estate work, and bespoke creations, he continues to craft every piece by hand — personally overseeing each stage with the care and artistry of a true master jeweller.
