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. It’s always very special to me when my work gets recognised in and amongst the sea of mass produced jewellery. You can explore and shop the entire collection online here or in store at Courtesy of the Artist in the Strand Arcade.

“Inspired by marine flora and the rugged charm of the NSW South Coast – a location Sydney jeweller Marina Antoniou has visited since childhood – her 17-piece “Neptune” collection unfolds as a narrative told in three “stories”: Seagrass Meadows, Sea Grapes and Lichen. Gold and rare Australian gemstones take centre stage as the protagonists. Take these earrings, which move like blades of seagrass in underwater meadows. In other pieces, yellow sapphires sprawl across hand-carved gold, referencing seaside lichen growing over rock pools. Elsewhere, grouped chrysoprase cabochons, sapphires and golden granules evoke memories of sea grapes on the shoreline.” – Frances Mocnik, Good Weekend Magazine
