Three days left to find that perfect gift - Product of the day: skull eternity rings

Skull eternity rings (various sizes available) in Sterling Silver by Justine Austen - $118 to $214

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.

Guitar pick pendants by Hannah Chambers

Hannah Chambers is an emerging Melbournian jeweller. With a passion for all things hidden secretive and unfound, she aims to create an intimacy between her objects and the wearer. Being able to create objects that can be worn and that become a tangible part of someone's life is very important to her. It expresses a closeness and familiarity that other art forms do not.  Drawing on influences from all sorts of times, places and cultures, she loves jewellery that has a story to tell.
