Australian Jewellery
Shaped by the land and steeped in story. Gemstones, opals, and natural gold discovered by us and handcrafted into one-of-a-kind pieces.
From Earth to Atelier — What Sets Us Apart
Step Inside the Studio-
A Real Life Treasure Hunt
We spend months each year in the Australian outback fossicking for natural gold, opals, and gemstones — a level of sourcing rarely seen in modern jewellery-making.
-
Faceting
Back in our studio, many gemstones are personally assessed and hand-faceted by us to reveal their natural character and brilliance.
-
Handcrafted Jewellery
We create our pieces in small batches using time-honoured techniques, shaping each design with care and intention. No mass-production, just considered Australian jewellery made with integrity.
One of the Rarest Gemstones on Earth
Lightning Ridge opals are revered globally for their rarity, found only in one remote pocket of Australia and uncovered in naturally limited quantities. This release represents a once-off collaboration, featuring black, crystal, and white opals discovered by my late father during his decades on the fields — a legacy we’re proud to honour.
Every design is created only once. When chosen, it becomes yours exclusively, never to be repeated.
