I’m a jewelry designer in Melbourne, Australia, and my brand name is Joolz. Joolz was a hobby that grew into a business, and has always been a passion of mine. Some may suggest I’m obsessed with jewelry, I say “There’s worse things to be obsessed with!”
I use stone, wood, pearls, metal, glass and occasionally vintage children’s toys in my designs. My latest collection also incorporates antique dice, vintage playing cards, and recycled umbrella silk.

My approach to making jewelry is that if I can incorporate locally–sourced, sustainable, vintage or recycled items into my work, I will do so. Having said that, they still need to be fabulous! I love beautiful things and I love to dress up, so my designs will always be focussed on this. I am currently in love with a new set – pearls combined with recycled metal pieces in an earrings and necklace set(the metal comes from a belt in a previous life).

Also of note: Joolz beat a bunch of major brands, including Dolce & Gabbana, with my first collection, entered in the Essential Awards for Accessories Brand of the Year at the end of last year (I came second, closely behind Oroton).
My work is all limited edition – either one–offs, small runs or individual orders.
