ASHOKA® Diamonds

I was lucky enough to meet John and his dear wife Anne in Italy; they were such a lovely couple, impersonating elegance at first sight! Our business relationship developed quickly and harmoniously. I was told that there is an incredible fountain of talents running in the family, doing fantastic jewels…that I would probably never have the chance to see. And one day in Switzerland … I met Margot Mc Kinney, we “clicked “immediately. I love everything about Margot and her jewels of course. My posts on Margot’s page are proof enough! I have a fascination for colors, and a long family tradition too! After working with 2 successive generations of this beautiful family I am confident to say that we developed more than a business relationship. I can anticipate wonderful collaborations in the future thanks to the up and coming generation.

I knew about McKinney's primarily from the great support they have given St Margaret's over the years as current President of the P&F Association. When it came time to buy some diamond earings for our 20 year anniversary Anne and the team were incredibly helpful for a novice like me but also then engaging with my wife on options. It was a first class client experience I can recommend for all levels of jewellery knowledge.

Over the past 8 years, UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute and McKinney’s Jewellers valuable partnership has helped raise funds to progress important brain research. Through QBI’s Alzheimer’s Gala, the Ross Maclean Motor Neurone Disease Race Day and other events, McKinney’s generous support has demonstrated how medical researchers and talented craftsmen, can work together to achieve a common goal – helping people lead healthier lives by solving some of the biggest health problems facing the world today, through research. QBI is extremely grateful for the long-term, loyal partnership with McKinney’s Jewellers and looks forward to continuing this connection into the future.
