New work in-stock by Clara Ho
Clara’s mission is to provide the modern man with accessories to
quietly distinguish him from the crowd. The materials used are
deliberately chosen for their natural aging qualities. As each piece is
worn, it develops a character unique to its wearer. As each piece is
designed by former architect Clara, she utilises the skills she learnt
practicing Architecture to create elegant, minimal pieces, uniting the
latest technology with ancient principles of proportion.
Her ‘The Marked Men’ collection stemmed from an exploration into ancient Egyptian beliefs about death and the soul. Each design has developed as an abstraction of a hieroglyph and its relation to the soul’s journey through the afterlife. The etched details wrap around the form so each piece can be worn multiple ways.

THE ROADSTER BY CHRIS MASSEY
Vroom! Vroom!
Gentleman, start your engines!
Holeshot the starting line with these supercharged, spoked Roadster cufflinks.
Lead with speed, and leave the others in the dust.
SEA OF SERENITY BY ZOE BEMAN
For the child within us
Who looked to the stars
For the adult we became
Who has never stopped dreaming
Inspired by Space
FINGER BY JANA KING
Through the use of the lost wax casting technique I have designed these exclusive anatomical cufflinks.
RENAISSANCE BY SAMANTHA CARR
The floral design and curly lines are inspired by the Renaissance period. It’s blackened and brushed appearance enhances each fine detail and creates a manlier finish. The deep red stones beautifully contrast against the sterling silver. the placement of the stones is to add an element of surprise to the piece as they are slightly hidden.
TWIG BY YU ISHITO
The organic twig cufflinks are cast from real twigs of Australian trees you can find in your garden. Even the mechanism is part of the design, made from twigs. It’s a unisex design even though traditionally cufflinks are for men’s clothes.
SIMPLE LIFE BY MAN CHIANG
Life is simple, simple is best. That is my design concept. It is fun to have something unexpected in our life. I put a silver bead in the cufflink to create some movement and make it more animate like life.
SOFT WHITE BY PHILIP MONK
I love to work with silver and occasionally semi precious stones. I enjoy exploring the use of form, shape and texture to create original pieces of jewellery that people will love to own and wear. I am particularly attracted to the beautiful soft white lustre of fine silver and used it in these cufflinks to create a sense of simple elegance. The cufflinks were created from sterling silver with a thin layer of fine silver. The fine silver surface was then textured and the piece was forded and polished.
SHIPS OF LOVE AND WAR BY MEGAN GREENWOOD
Megan has explored the themes of love and loss, a journey of sailors who go off to war, learning behind the woman who loved them. using a combination of found materials from the sea and domestic objects to impress into cuttlefish moulds, Megan creates broiling sea mementoes. Reminding the wearer of what they left behind. an old silhouette, it further creates an aesthetic of being weathered and ship wrecked. As if teh ships are drawn from under the sea to relive the battle that kept them from their loves.
DUSK BY MELANIE HILDER
Exploring the textures, shapes and patterns of our natural environment and the ways in which it is forever growing and changing with time. influenced by the love for nature and how the jeweller sees the world around her. It explores the shapes and textures of an Australian Paperbark Tree, created by the shadows at dusk. the layers of the thin silver represent the peeling of the bark and teh forms that they can create. As the sun sets, a glow of red is cast across the tree tops after a hot summer’s day and this is captured in the dark red garnet.
THE MELBOURNE MAN BY SAMANTHA LEE
Easy
Rider meets the Melbourne Man. He is successful, together, admired. Has
effortless control of his destiny and a handle on society. Aware,
ambitious and resolved he dominates at the top of his game. Balanced and
re-energised by the allure of the open road, the quiet escape. The
master of his life – The definition of debonair.
DRIFTWOOD BY GEORGIA PIGNOLET
the work comes from the beauty of nature. I love what our earth can create and I just want to show this through my work. I grew up on the beach with all the amazing colours and animals around me. This lifestyle has had a big impact on my jewellery. This pieces was made from drift wood and twigs. The twigs were cast and I carved the drift wood to create a harmonious relationship between wood and silver.
TANGLED WEB BY LINDA CLARK
The work seeks to express the complexity of being human, both public and private aspects.
DEER HORN BY HENRY HAZELDINE
ABLATION BY ALICIA HANNAH NAOMI
Inspired by the haunting beauty and tragedy of the rapidly retreating glaciers across the Polar Regions, the ablation cufflinks are the jewellers response to the study on the effects of global warming on glacial ice conducted by the Extreme Ice Survey. The EID aims to show epochal change happening within the time frame of human life, and to provide scientists with a photographic record to understand the mechanics and pace of glacial retreat and how it relates to climate change.
14 students who were currently enrolled in the following courses submitted cufflinks to the exhibition:

New work by Emily Becher
Emily is a jeweller based in Melbourne working from a shared studio
in Kensington’s Ironside Studios. Her work is quite varied with several
divergent ranges that each explore distinctive concepts allowing for
experimentation with different techniques.
Her heavily textured range stocked by Lord Coconut explores the tangible experience of acquisition, the tactile nature and connection that one can encounter with their choice of adornment. Her work investigates the playful nature of interacting with moving elements, the sparkle of light reflecting from surfaces and the base characteristics of surface texture that allow one to visually and physically engage with ones choice of embellishment.
Emily graduated from NMIT with an Advanced Diploma of Jewellery in 2012 with High Distinction. This follows an academic trail of consistency to perform at a high level winning numerous awards, the most recent recognition received in 2012 from the Gold & Silversmiths Guild of Australia for Best Hand Skills, and has since been accepted as a Fellow member of the Guild in 2013. Her work has been selected for a range of prestigious exhibitions including Contemporary Australian Silver & Metalwork Award 2013, Graduate Metal ’13 and Contemporary Wearables ’13.
