Good Weekend Magazine
Earlier this month I was featured in the Good Weekend Magazine. A huge thank you to Frances Mocnik for the beautiful words about my new collection, Neptune.
STORIES
Neptune – Story 2 – Seagrass Meadows
The Seagrass Meadows story features elongated shapes and baguette stones, inspired by blades of seagrass in underwater meadows. The movement of the Seagrass earrings echoes their gentle sway, while gemstones trace curves like ocean currents.
Financial Review Feature
I am very proud and excited for this really lovely feature in a recent edition of the The Australian Financial Review. Thank you to Fashion Editor Lauren Sams for listing Marina Antoniou as one of three Australian jewellery brands to watch.
Reimagining Neptune
Originally a butcher’s shop in the 1800s, the heritage building this photoshoot took place in is part of the historic Longs Lane precinct in The Rocks, at the heart of Sydney.
The Launch of Neptune
Thank you to Courtesy of the Artist for featuring my new collection, Neptune in their monthly newsletter which shares a mix of colourful news, artist tales, noteworthy events and exhibitions.
Neptune – Story 1 – Lichen
NEPTUNE includes three series: Seagrass Meadows, Sea Grapes and Lichen. Each is informed by the rich landscapes of Australia’s shorelines and the marine flora that thrives there. First up, Lichen.
A Custom Sea Grape Ring
I recently had the privilege of making a bespoke Sea Grape cluster ring for a very special client. For this piece, my client wanted Australian sapphires in a variety of luscious green tones.

Thank you to Courtesy of the Artist for featuring my new collection, Neptune in their monthly newsletter which shares a mix of colourful news, artist tales, noteworthy events and exhibitions.
Introducing Neptune
This Saturday I will be officially launching my latest jewellery collection, Neptune. The entire collection will be exhibited at Courtesy of the Artist in Sydney’s iconic Strand Arcade.
Little Daisies for Little Legs
We are coming up to one year since I launched Little Daisies, a collection of warm-hued, golden jewellery inspired by the anatomy of a Daisy. These special pieces were designed to support Little Legs Foundation, a local charity fundraising for childhood brain cancer
Timeless Charm
With handmade charms, no two I make are ever the same. Each request is one I couldn’t easily forget. Whether made in 600 BC or today in 2023, from gold, or a humble piece of string, all charms share a common thread—they have a story to tell.
Natural Landscapes of the NSW South Coast
I’ve always been inspired by the landscapes of the NSW South Coast, a place I have been visiting with my family since I was born. It’s a place where I can enjoy time with my family, find quiet contemplation and source inspiration for my work.
Handmade with Honest Materials
By now, most of us are quite good at recognising when bigger brands are making an attempt at “greenwashing”. Recently, I’ve noticed a lot of mass-produced jewellery lines making various claims, and so I thought this might be a good time to share more.
Reimagining Family Heirloom Stones
The act of designing a piece for oneself or someone beloved to us is a deeply personal and emotional exchange. Something that I’m often asked to do is to restore gemstones or embed precious family heirloom stones into new designs.
Australian Turquoise
I wanted to focus on Australian Turquoise this month, not only because it happens to be December’s birthstone, but because the particular stones I work with are rare and beautiful, with a very special provenance.
Tools of the Trade
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.
A Trip To Lightning Ridge
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.
Trillion Cut Australian Parti Sapphire Ring
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.
Andamooka, South Australia
Four years ago today I was in the South Australian outback exploring the opal mining town of Andamooka. I spent a week in Andamooka learning about its hidden treasures and its rich history.
Remodelling a Family Heirloom
A recent remodelling project. Three stack rings, a cluster of diamonds, sapphires and granules in 18ct yellow gold using diamonds from a family heirloom.
Welcome!
Welcome! My website has been given a lovely little refresh. I look forward to sharing more creations and stories with you here in my new journal.
