Leonard Joel
Most people wouldn’t remember the name Fred Samuel.
However, they would know the heart shaped ruby and diamond necklace worn by Julia Roberts in the film Pretty Woman.
More recently, the name Fred was associated with Kate Moss for the design of an exclusive jewellery collection.
Fred had a hand in both – or more correctly the company he founded following the first store he opened in Paris in 1936 at age 28.
Born in to a family of jewellers, Fred created a style of jewellery that was prestigious, creative and liberated from tradition.

Leski Auctions
Since May, when the largest world gathering of professional philatelists and serious stamp collectors for the year assembled at the Royal Exhibition Building, Leski Auctions stamp auction clearance rates have gone through the roof.
“At the time, millions of dollars in early Australian material changed hands and people were concerned that this would just flood the market,” managing director Charles Leski said.
Instead, this major world event created new interest and reawakened dormant stamp collectors who began actively seeking out new material.
