The Metal Urges team

Metal Urges is completely unique in its style and methods. In this world of mass produced and heavily branded Jewellery, Chris has decided to go in the opposite direction. The team of jewellers at Metal Urges Hobart Tasmania work tirelessly on every piece of jewellery to hand make the very finest quality. Excellent customer service before, during and after each jewellery commission is an essential part of the Metal Urges experience. Our simple marketing strategy is to grow organically through word of mouth recommendations from our loyal base of fine jewellery clients.
