Leading Edge Group, the parent company of Leading Edge Group Jewellers , has entered voluntary administration after failing to meet debt obligations, with reported liabilities exceeding $28 million.

As Leading Edge CEO, Charlie Davey refused to provide accurate membership figures.

Carson Webb spearheaded the launch of Troy Australia in 2021.

Lee Scott served as the CEO of Leading Edge Group until stepping down in December 2023.

Former Leading Edge CEO Simon Lane was involved in the launch of two wholesale businesses: Troy Australia and Diamond Republic.

The Facebook account for Leading Edge Group Jewellers has been abandoned since December 2020.

When Jeweller published its most recent State of the Industry Report in 2024, Leading Edge's broader influence in the Australian jewellery industry had plummeted, and its management refused to report membership figures accurately.

Through Troy Australia (2021) and then Diamond Republic (2023), Leading Edge had started competing directly with the preferred suppliers that, in turn, were expected to support the buying group's members through discounted pricing and commercial partnerships.

Troy Australia’s tenure in the jewellery industry was relatively short-lived. Leading Edge's decision to launch a wholesale operation angered suppliers.

Leading Edge launched The Dream Collection in 2025. It was a direct-to-consumer online jewellery retailer, representing yet another attempt to evolve the company's strategy.
