Our Australian Story : Where to Find Us in Australia
Founded in Sydney in 2012, our jewellery brand was born from a deep love of Australian gemstones and the rich natural beauty of this land. We, Olivia and Juan have spent over a decade sharing our handcrafted pieces with Australians and visitors alike, from local markets to galleries that celebrate both artistry and culture.
In 2021, we returned to France to bring our story and our exquisite Australian gemstones to a European audience. But Australia is never far from our hearts. We regularly return to source our gemstones in the rough, ensuring that every gem we use has a direct connection to the land it came from.
We’re not a big company, it’s just the two of us, handcrafting every piece with love, care, and authenticity. Each item we make reflects not only the raw beauty of Australia, but the personal journey we’ve taken with it.
You can find our work at four special locations in Australia:
📍 Foyer of Sails in the Desert Hotel, Ayers Rock Resort, Yulara, NT
Mulgara Gallery opens a rare window into the world of Australian and Indigenous arts and crafts. Nestled in the heart of the Red Centre, it offers a curated selection of original paintings, pottery, textiles, metal and leatherwork and a selection of our jewellery inspired by the surrounding landscape. It’s a true cultural gem at the gateway to Uluru.
