 In the world of art and design originality and innovation is everything. In this country there's nothing more original, more quintessentially "Australian" than the work of Ken and Judy Done. Starting from a single screen-printed T-shirt design in 1980 featuring a simple, bold Ken Done rendering of the Harbour and Opera House, Done Art and Design has grown into a multimillion dollar enterprise that has become an icon of Sydney and Australia around the world. Today there are Done Art and Design shops in The Rocks, the QVB, Bondi Beach and at Sydney Airport offering a range of clothing and homewares that epitomise the spirit of Australia. Apart from Done's traditional top-quality T-shirts and sweats you'll find a fabulous new range of resortwear and homewares. And you can still buy beautiful posters, silkscreens and original artworks at The Ken Done Gallery in Hickson Road, The Rocks. For more information phone 9251 6099 or 9247 2740. While everything for sale at Done Art and Design is absolutely genuine and original, another long established Sydney retailer sells only fakes - but "diamonds" not homewares and fashion.
 The House of Gemolite in the Strand Arcade sells an amazing array of brilliant, sparkling "gemolites". These man-made stones are virtually impossible to detect from the real thing, yet cost only a fraction of the price of genuine diamonds. They're crystal clear, rock-hard, scratch-resistant and guaranteed for a lifetime. You can buy rings, pendants, earrings - whatever you want - and when you get home nobody will be able to tell them from the real thing! The House of Gemolite is at the Pitt Street end of the Strand Arcade. If you'd like more information you can phone them on 9231-3149 or just drop in during normal shopping hours.
While we're talking about value for money, we've found a jeweller who is happy to sell you fabulous South Sea or beautiful freshwater pearls at very affordable prices. Part of an old-established Sydney gem-cutting firm called Australian Pearl Divers, you'll find their elegant showroom on Level 3, 295 Pitt Street. They have world-class designers on the premises who can create a stunning design on the spot or simply give you free a pearl lesson. If you'd like more information phone them on 9261 2442 or just call in any day Monday to Saturday.
