Welcome

Nunawading and District Lapidary Club was formed in 1969 by a group of enthusiasts to allow them to meet and improve their skill in all the lapidary arts; cutting cabochons, faceting, silver-smithing and jewelery making. In early 2021 we moved to our fantastic new club rooms at the Nunawading Community Hub,      96-106 Springvale Rd, Nunawading VIC 3131, Australia.

The facilities and equipment are available for the use of all members.
Members are also offered a variety of training courses throughout the year in cabochon cutting, faceting and a range of jewelery making.
The club rooms are open to members at various times during the week.
