The Rhianon Vernon-Roberts Memorial Collection of Contemporary
Australian Jewellery
19 January - 2 April 2008
Fourteen years since the establishment of the Rhianon Vernon-Roberts Memorial Collection,
this exhibition of contemporary Australian jewellery will showcase the unique legacy created by
Rhianon’s parents in memory of their daughter, a talented young jeweller who died in 1990. The
exhibition includes highlights from the Collection including Rhianon’s own work.
Now in its 18th year, the Rhianon Vernon-Roberts Memorial Collection has actively acquired
the work of talented and innovative jewellery practitioners and currently represents 39 jewellers
with 82 works, making it one of the most important collections of its type in Australia.
