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.
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.
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.
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.
