Original and Sustainable
My art jewellery is perfect for customers who support eco-friendly shopping habits. Pendants, earrings and brooches are made with upholstery samples and leather offcuts sourced from local artisans, including a furniture maker and a shoemaker! I also play with reclaimed beads to design new necklaces. It is important to me that while creating unique jewellery pieces, I can extend the use of resources and be kind to the planet.
Recycled and Local
My greeting cards are made with FSC certified 100% recycled paper made in Australia, and feature the use of textile samples that would normally have gone to the landfill.
I am happy and lucky to be able to create beautiful, functional and sustainable designs for you. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 starsArrived earlier than expected, and is a decent sized card (many cards I've bought from Etsy over the years look normal sized and then turn out to be quite small). Leather was darker in RL than in the photos, but was very nice all the same.

I upcycle leather and fabric samples and offcuts. It means less waste goes to the landfill.

No two brooches are the same! You can be sure you have an original.

Upcycling to Create Sustainable Original Jewellery
I was a science and visual arts educator in Canada. When we came to Australia, I decided to use my background to make art. Jewellery making started in a most serendipitous way.
One day, I was given a pile of leather swatches by a local furniture maker, who thought I could use the "waste" from his shop for art. Everyday, I try my best to live a low waste lifestyle; so I couldn't stand seeing these perfectly usable pieces binned. Creating jewellery from leather samples seemed to be a natural extension. Now my materials include discontinued leather and fabric swatches, offcuts from a local shoemaker, and even the tiniest scraps from my own jewellery making. Nothing is wasted. My work supports a zero waste lifestyle and is an expression of care for the environment.
Express your personal style with original and sustainable jewellery and be the difference!
