Argenton Design is Lisa Argenton
I was born on the 13th of July 1976 in Johannesburg, South Africa, my mother's heritage is Dutch/Scottish and my father is Italian. The Argenton name has descended from France and is translated into "silver town"

I established Argenton Design in Sydney Australia in 2001, after seven years of working in the jewellery industry, as I could not contain my desire to have full creative license over my work.

My professional history begins in 1995 when I started working for Rob Bennett Jewellery, Where I was trained for four and a half years in retail and jewellery manufacture.

qualifications and achievements:
  • 1996-1998 Diploma in Gemmolgy - Julia Myers award for best practical paper in Australia, and the NSW Trustees prize for best practical paper in NSW with a distinction acquired at the Gemmological Association of Australia.
  • 1998-1999 Diploma in diamond technology with a credit pass acquired at the Gemmological Association of Australia.
  • 2000 Certificate in jewellery design acquired at the Gemological Association of Australia.
  • 2001-2002 Certificate in applied colour and design acquired at the School of Colour and Design, Sydney Australia.
My next job was taking up position as workshop coordinator, at Canturi Corporation, where I stayed for one and a half years. I learned valuable organization and people management skills, but unfortunately got tragically bored and frustrated, which spurred me on, to create Argenton design, giving me the creative freedom I longed for.
