Nine and a Quarter: Crafting Meaningful, Custom Jewelry with a Personal Touch

by Henry

Jimmy O’Connor’s journey into jewellery design began with a personal need—creating pieces he wanted to wear. However, it wasn’t until the Covid pandemic that his entrepreneurial side emerged, prompting him to turn his hobby into a full-fledged business. “I felt like I had to figure out how to make my creative outlet self-sufficient. That’s when the idea of turning this into something bigger clicked,” he shares.

Founded in 2022, Nine and a Quarter has quickly grown into an independent jewellery label, known for its focus on craftsmanship and meaningful designs. Operating from his Warrandyte workshop, Jimmy handcrafts each piece, offering bespoke and custom-made rings, bracelets, necklaces, and artwork.

One of the most rewarding aspects of running Nine and a Quarter, Jimmy says, is creating custom orders for clients. “Engagement rings are always special, but it’s the tribute pieces that really hit differently. Rings made in memory of someone who’s passed or capturing memories to turn them into heirloom-worthy pieces,” he explains.

Jimmy primarily works with solid gold and 925 sterling silver, drawing inspiration from bold, Ed Hardy-themed imagery, such as skulls and roses, as well as nostalgic, nautical Sailor Jerry designs. Each item is playful, meaningful, and made to order, often featuring the initials of the wearer engraved into the band.
