This month, I thought I’d take you behind the scenes to share a bit about some of the tools I use in my work. Each piece I work on comes together in a series of processes, each done by hand.
This year, at the end of Winter, I took a trip with my family to Opal country in Lightning Ridge, north-western New South Wales, somewhere I’ve always been interested in visiting.
This 2.25ct trillion cut Australian parti sapphire recently featured in a custom ring for Courtesy of the Artist. It’s probably one of the most incredible stones I’ve ever worked with.
Australian actress and writer Kate Mulvany wore her Marina Antoniou x Lauren Webster “Sunburst Earring” from The Lost Galaxy collection earlier this year.
