Justin Siow graduated from an advanced Diploma of Jewellery Technology at NMIT in 2009. Drawing inspiration from a childhood filled with origami, science fiction, puzzles and vintage toys, Justin uses both precious metals and contemporary materials to make his creations. He relishes technical challenges and treats the act of making as a puzzle in itself, finding the best design solution to produce objects that are both entertaining and functional. His latest work focuses on the efficient use of materials. Using principles that are akin to the design of origami models, Justin starts with a single rectangular strip of metal, into which a design is hand –cut and then folded to produce a three dimensional piece. These self-imposed rules create the challenge of finding the many limbs, mandibles and wings in the material as well as achieving the ultimate goal of minimising waste.

Glass Eye tie slide

Green Glass Eye tie slide by Justine Austen
$275
Available in-store or online

Justine Austen graduated from Gold & Silversmithing with honours from Monash University in 1998 and attained a fellowship from the gemmological Association of Australia in 2004. Working as a contemporary jeweller and miniature sculpture artist Justine creates exhibition pieces, commissions and a number of limited production ranges sold through various galleries nationally. Balancing somewhere between fine art and kitsch Justine’s creations seem quirky, play-full, absurd and offbeat. The transformation of somewhat random objects and materials into new works dictates the technique, depending on the piece and the envisioned outcome. Her style is graphic, using a simple and strong visual, icongraphic language that she has developed drawing on historical and modern elements and references.

Suse Scholem graduated from Monash University in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Fine Art and Honours in Fine Art. Based in Melbourne, Suse is particularly passionate about the social potential of contemporary jewellery, whilst prioritising sustainable practice.

The use of recycled metals and found objects feature significantly in Scholem's work. Experimenting with unusual natural materials in her production work, Suse creates one-off pieces, guided in design by the organic components she fervently collects.

Her range for Lord Coconut employs alchemical processes, such as electro-forming and direct casting, combined with old worlde aesthetics and a sensitive appreciation of bodily materials. Each piece is uniquely hand made by the artist.
