It all started 50 years ago

Elizabeth Proszkowiec, owner of Enigma Showcase Jewellers, entered the jewellery industry 31 years ago when she married George, who was already the second generation working in his family business, Terrace Jewellery located in Raymond Terrace.

George’s family arrived in Australia in the late 1950s and George’s uncle opened his first jewellery shop in Newcastle East.

Elizabeth started her career working for Terrace Jewellery in 1985. Over the following 15 years, while learning all the necessary industry skills, and developing excellent customer relationships, Elizabeth  completed the intense Gemmology course, a Diamond Technology Diploma and  a Design course, Valuation course and Business degree through Newcastle University.

After seeing an opportunity, Elizabeth opened Enigma Jewellers in 2001 in Raymond Terrace and built a successful business, providing quality customer service in designing jewellery and selling loose diamonds that she handpicked while traveling to Antwerp, in Belgium, the world’s diamond capital.

Enigma Jewellers was recognised as a quality and elegant jewellery shop always praised for good  taste and choice of jewellery.

Enigma Showcase Jewellers moved to Marketown, Newcastle West in November 2015 and has recently expanded to Glendale.  

Enigma Jewellers provide services such as jewellery design and crafting of bespoke jewellery pieces, a valuation service, supply of loose diamonds and gemstones, repairs of jewellery and watches, battery fitting, pearl restringing and many others.

Enigma is one of 210 Showcase stores across Australia. Being a part of the Showcase buying group gives them access to many brands and better purchasing power, allowing the discounted prices to be passed on to customers.

The Marketown and Glendale shops specialise in many jewellery brands, diamond and precious coloured stone jewellery, including custom made diamond engagement rings. They have access to diamond brands such as Passion 8 and Canadian Fire, brands reputable for their consistently high quality stones.

Other brands carried include Najo, Swarovski, Nikki Lissoni, Von Tresko, Charmour name pendants, lovelockets and more. 

Popular watch brands include Swarovski watches, Christian Paul Sydney watches, Daniel Wellington, Oozoo, Nomination, Lorus, Citizen, Casio and others. Glendale is now furnished with the newest Pandora furniture and is stocked with all new beads and jewellery. Glendale also stocks Thomas Sabo and Nikki Lissoni jewellery.

Elizabeth and George have three children, the oldest daughter Kathrin and the youngest Tash have both worked in Enigma Jewellers since they have been teenagers. Kathrin joined Enigma Jewellers as a part owner in September 2015 bringing her wisdom and appreciation for technology that Generation X, Gen Y and others are seeking. She has a Business Degree from Newcastle University, majoring in marketing.
