Who Made This - Melissa Baldock

Why did you become a jeweller?
It started with a love of stones, and a love of making things, so it made sense to learn to set stones in jewellery. What I find amusing is that I do not set many stones any more, I am more interested in the metals and their capabilities.

How would you describe your men’s jewellery range at Lord Coconut and what was its inspiration?
Most of my work is inspired by nature, and my range at Lord Coconut is a reflection of this.

How would you describe what is on your jewellery bench?
A massive mess! I am terribly messy when I am creating and never put my tools back where they belong… lucky I have a huge space to spread out in!


When not making jewellery what do you love to do?
Spend time with my beautiful family.


Favourite restaurant
With 3 small children… dining out is not a fun option! But if I manage to escape for an evening I certainly don’t mind a meal at Smolt in Salamanca, Hobart.


Favourite movie
I love many movies, I just can't think of a single one to add here.




Favourite travel destination
Thailand, because the locals are such beautiful people.


Favourite band
Afro Celt Sound System


Favourite book
The Old Man And The Sea – Ernest Hemingway


Favourite art work
Devil Whale – Jen Lobo


Favourite building

(other than my own home) would probably have to be the Sedlec Ossuary

I recently purchased a sterling silver ring online. Although I found it difficult choosing a ring based on what the pictures looked like, the ring exceeded all expectations. From placing a order till post delivery Mark was constantly in contact letting me know what was happening as I had a needed the ring within a few weeks. When I received the beautifully crafted ring by a Tasmanian designer I was astounded by not only the ring but the packaging. The overall customer service and ring was just fantastic! I highly recommend the store and will return.

I am a contemporary silversmith and jewellery artist with a studio located on my 50 acre property in the village of Snug in Southern Tasmania.

I work predominantly in sterling silver for the way it catches the light and makes for an impressive contrast of dark and light in shadow.  Tiny silhouettes from nature are found in many of my designs.  The images change and evolve to nurture the aesthetics as each piece is in creation to form a unique, one-off piece.

My style is delicate, elegant and strong.  I usually look to the natural environment for my inspiration which I see as an unlimited source of natural beauty and ideas.
