After two years spent with Sotheby’s in London from 1966, Bruce set up his business in the Melbourne. Today, two generations of the family manage the company’s three stores in Melbourne, two of which have been located in Collins Street’s Paris End for over 20 years. In 1993 Rutherford opened Melbourne’s first specialist pearl store which showcases an extensive collection of Australian South Sea strands and a huge range of Tahitian, Japanese Akoya and Freshwater pearls. The business is still in the ownership of the Rutherford family, with Wesley Rutherford is the company’s Managing Director.
