Owner
After starting the business in 1991, Frauke continues to work every day she is in Kununurra. Her love of fine jewellery and unusual diamonds is evident across our stock. Frauke is responsible for the majority of the designing and purchasing. Her eye for detail also reflects in our large collection of unique giftware.
Manager
A long-term Kununurra local, Helen joined the KFD family part-time back in 2009 and has been the manager since 2013. Helen is trained in gemology and will continue her studies in the future as the business has evolved with the closure of the Argyle mine.
Master Jeweller
A jeweller since he was 16, Mat is one of our longest standing jewellers working for KFD for 14+ years. Mat’s favourite part about working with jewellery is setting diamonds, he also enjoys helping customers fine-tune their design to make it an extra special piece. When he is not up the river chasing a barra, you may find Mat down the river chasing barra.
