Police said that the robbers threatened staff and stole jewellery before leaving in a waiting vehicle without registration plates, which was driven by another offender.
The vehicle drove south along Orrong Road.
It is believed the gang were later sighted on Gardenia Road in Gardenvale, where one of them got out of a black Holden Commodore then jumped in a black Ford Territory.
Both vehicles drove off separately.
No shots were fired during the incident and no injuries have been reported.
The offenders were reported to be of African appearance.
An employee of the business, which also has stores in South Yarra and Collins Street, said they were shaken by the robbery.
"At this point in time we're still recovering, so if you could call back another time?"
