One of Australia’s most celebrated creators of fine jewellery, Tony White, who died in May 2020, began his glittering career after training as an architect and briefly practicing in the field. It was an experience that put him in “a different category”, as the multitalented artist later recalled, and in the 1970s, when I first met Tony, he was still working in architecture but had already started designing jewellery from the spare bedroom of his home, then in Paddington.
Largely self taught, Tony first exhibited his jewellery and decorative objects at Bonython Gallery in Paddington when he was 29.
