Designed by Angelique Andronis, daughter to renowned Australian jeweller Angelo Andronis, in their contemporary James Street studio, BY BABY is the place to go for statement pieces and one off designs. Choose from gorgeous stackable rings and necklaces, classic ear cuffs and breathtakingly simple earrings, or book in for a custom-made piece (something to go with a certain question, maybe?).
Jess Blak

If you’re on the hunt for a one-off piece that will definitely have people asking ‘where did you get that?’, Jess Blak has you covered. Inspired by textures found in ruins and shipwrecks, each one of her pieces is handcrafted from start to finish, resulting in an array of deliberately imperfect jewellery pieces, with no two pieces exactly the same. Using recycled gold and silver and responsibly sourced stones, they’re as ethical as they are beautiful.
Laura Armstrong Jewellery
47c Caxton Street, Paddington

If we could afford every single one of Laura Armstrong’s made-to-order pieces, we’d have them all in our jewellery box. For something truly unique, items like her Sapphire Relic Necklace are hand carved, meaning each one is individual—just like their wearers. We’re absolutely in love with the delicate Tiny Ring Trio, but you can pick out your favourite piece .
Rebellious Grace
9 Doggett Street, Fortitude Valley

By now you’re probably aware of the permanent jewellery trend taking over the internet— perfect for those who somehow always forget to put on their jewellery in the morning. With a range of different chains to choose from, your wish of finding the perfect permanent bracelet has been granted. But doesn’t stop there—their selection of dainty jewellery, all made right here in Brisbane, is perfect for anyone after a simple yet striking piece to add to their collection, and you can even browse IRL at their store in the Valley.

Pearls, pearls, and more pearls. We can all agree that nothing looks more sophisticated than a pair of pearl hoops, particularly if it’s one of beautifully modern designs (these aren’t your nanna’s pearls, trust us). Australian made and sustainable, each item works perfectly within one another, ideal for layering and matching—because the more pearls the better.
