Kozminsky was a Melbourne-based jewellery retailer that was founded in 1851 by Simon Kozminsky, a Polish immigrant. The company was one of the oldest and most respected jewellery retailers in Australia, and it had a long history of providing high-quality jewellery to its customers.

Kozminsky originally opened its doors on Elizabeth Street in Melbourne, and it quickly became a popular destination for both locals and tourists. The company's reputation for quality and craftsmanship soon spread, and it began to attract a number of high-profile customers, including members of the Australian aristocracy and the Melbourne Cricket Club.

In 1910, Kozminsky moved to its final location on Collins Street, which is one of the most prestigious shopping streets in Melbourne. The company's new location allowed it to expand its range of products and services, and it also became a popular destination for celebrities and other VIPs.

In 2017, after forty years of working in the business, Kirsten made the decision to close the store and sell the remaining stock at auction. Hundreds flocked to the auction, eager to acquire a piece of Melbourne history, and it became the most valuable single-owner jewellery auction ever held in Australia.
