If you wanna bin get the rhino in
Hoskings Jewellers, a family-run business since 1945, has built a reputation for providing high-quality jewellery, watches, and gifts. Our customers' needs have always been our top priority. Our story began in Frankston, Victoria, where our founder, the late Perc Hosking, opened the first store after serving in the 2nd World War. With his exceptional watchmaking skills, Hoskings Jewellers became a well-known name in the community. Perc later served as Frankston's first city mayor, further solidifying his legacy.
Today, three generations of the Hosking family remain committed to preserving Hoskings' reputation for offering an extensive range of elegant and timeless jewellery collections. We are proud of our growth over the years, now boasting 17 locations across Australia with over 150 dedicated long-term employees. Our goal is to make sure each customer receives expert assistance when choosing an engagement ring, designer watch, or a special gift.
