proudly Australian

We owe a lot to Australia - they have given us kangaroos, boomerangs, guys with really great accents...
The country's latest, and arguably greatest, contribution, however, has to be Maja Rose and Tess Lloyd's new design-based business featuring stunning necklaces that focus on designs playing with form, pattern, light and colour. All necklaces are created environmentally friendly with stainless steel pendants and sterling silver chains (nickle and lead free - yay!). The designers also pride themselves with providing a supportive work place for young families.

When we bought these, the designers filled us in on all the amazing stories behind each piece they make. Each necklace is carefully designed from memories of people, places and sentiments that have personal meaning to them. You can be assured that each piece is made with love!
Give a "Hoot"! $49

How does your garden grow? Beautifully, we hope, with this "Love Garden" necklace. $49

Introducing "Fin" and "Feather" - named after the designer's darling pets. $49

Two lovebirds perched by "Magnolia" - $79

One of our personal favorites is "Tandem" - she designed this bike with love, sticking her puppy Polli, a bottle of wine and a baguette in her bike basket. Perfect necklace for a little mental daytrip! $79 Shown with a glam screenprinted rose tank in metallic; preshrunk - $49

Shopgirl chose this "Babushka" necklace for her own personal reasons. She was reminded of her grandpa "Captain" who sailed around the world with the Navy bringing back special prizes for his beloved children. One of the most memorable gifts shopgirl remembers is the Russian Babushka dolls he gave her mother after a long trip at sea. She always loved the surprise of "just one more doll hidden inside". This memory priceless - this necklace $79.

We will be closed Sunday, April 12 for Easter (don't be sad), but we can't wait to see you in the shop on Monday bright and early!
