About Me

My photo
Bruthen, Victoria, Australia
I started out making basic jewellery in my mid school years, and it was due to the mounting frustration of not being able to "do more!" that pushed me to study in jewellery design. In 2009 I completed an Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology (Jewellery) at Box Hill Institute in Melbourne, Australia. This course is very highly focused on design, and we were urged to push our designs to be everything they could be. I love to work in metal, mostly silver, and I am keen to push the boundaries of what is considered modern day, jewellery acceptance. I draw my inspiration from everything around me, and have also designed and made many pieces from my dreams. My jewellery is usually quite organic and large... :) I like rings to be sculptures for the hand - See "Talk To The Hand" ring on the Home Page. I hope to continue my studies both around Australia and overseas in the coming years, but for now I have my own studio in the bush where I grew up to keep experimenting with the wonders of jewellery design.

A Production Range


Curly Cabaret!

A wiggling, and a jiggling, and a twisting, and a jiving, makes this jewellery seem to dance before your eyes.

Made from sterling silver, this range of jewellery consists of earrings, brooches, bracelets and necklaces.

Curly Cabaret is very unique and full of musical life. It is made differently every time, giving each piece its own dancing tune.

Soon these jazzing two-steps will be accompanied by precious stones and more!

Runtil Mayhem Jewellery!


FRESH & ARTLESS GUANO!

A hotshot cluster of stagnant plebs, pitching strategies of idiosyncrasy of cerebral design.

The crux of the matter is to unveil the theft of our nemesis,
Yuppo Ganache, at our fodder Par-tay!

We are the vindication of a boom cast with our flamboyant flotsam and instant larangitis of the phalanx and a mighty mighty monolith haemorrhage.

Fresh Meat? Zigactly!

Freshen Up, Plebs!!!


Runtil Mayhem Jewellery is comprised of Jane and Sarah, two amazing life forms of such profound structure and stability that they are truly unique.

Raspberry Licorice Range

Jewellery Gallery!




Flower Brooch.
This piece was made in 2008 in my first year at Box Hill Institute. It has been cast from a wax mould with impressions of three different types of grass on each lip of the flower. Materials are sterling silver.





Copper Armband With Tiger Eye Stone Sets.
This piece was made in 2000 at a home studio before I started any institutional jewellery studies. The studio was run by a lady who would teach you anything you wanted to know. I had always wanted to make an armband, as all the ones I'd seen in retail shops were lacking in originality. This was my first jewellery piece that involved soldering! Very exciting! :-)


Square Chenier Pendant And Chain.
This piece was made in 2008 in my first year at Box Hill Institute. The pendant is made from square chenier, with three wonky rings that have been oxidised to create contrast with the silver. Materials are sterling silver.















Spikey Ring With Greek Motif.
This piece was made in 2008 in my first year at Box Hill Institute. The motif has been stamped into the metal and some areas have been oxidised. Materials are sterling silver.
