Catanach's Jewellers is a family-owned and operated jewellery business that has been in operation since 1874. The company was founded by George William Catanach, a skilled diamond setter who migrated from London, UK to Australia in 1870. Catanach's first store was located on Elizabeth Street in Melbourne's CBD. The business quickly grew in popularity, and by 1889, Catanach had purchased a four-storey bluestone building at 290 Little Collins Street, which was named Catanach House. The business has a long history of craftsmanship and innovation. The company was one of the first in Australia to use electric polishing machines, and it has also been a pioneer in the use of new gemstones and jewellery design techniques. Catanach's is still owned and operated by the Catanach family. The business moved to High Street, Armadale in 1990, from where it still operates.
