What Is Your Story
We all wear little stories about the people we love, the moments we have had. Jewellery is powerful and emotive, and is much more than decoration for the body. On Saturday the 3rd of January 2009
I spoke to 25 people about there Jewellery, and these are their stories.
Aquamarine Pendant
We Three Kings
Wedding Band
The wedding band was my great grandma’s sisters. They lived in Hungry, my family came out during the war, it was there to begin with and has been passed down gradually, it was to her first marriage, she actually got married twice, but terry and myself got married 13 days ago, I’m hoping it will bring us more luck, I haven’t had it for long.
Rose Gold Heart
Three Rings
The first I acquired that only five days ago, it was a ring that belonged to my grandmother, who recently passed away, along with the ring I obtained a hole lot of other costume Jewellery. Its just fun, glitzy glass as far as I am concerned, very Rococo glitzy glass, I really like it.
The next ring, I got from a market place, I have just been at the falls festival I was staying at the art village, it was suggested that it was a ring of power, that I could have super powers with it, he felt, so its now my new super power ring,
The one of my little finger is a claddagh ring, my father was Irish, the heart you have facing inwards when your heart is given to someone, and outward when you’re looking for love……and I’m out there looken for love honey :)
Star and Starfish
Earing
Finger Ring
I have had this ring since 1993. It’s a Silver and rose gold, but is has changed, and with an amethyst, it’s been hit allot, well worn. I got this from the
So it’s my holy and sacred ring, it keeps me safe. It’s like my Blue Sword. I wear it all the time, my holy ring.
African Bangles and Australian Ring
These bangles are part of a large collection of bangles I have from North Africa, I used to drive trucks in the
My ring was made for me by an Australian designer called Rebecca Aims, I think she makes gorgeous things, what I like about this ring is at first glance you would think , it’s maybe turquoise or jade, it is simply resin set in acrylic and silver. The reason I like it because it is using contemporary materials, and exploring what you can do with contemporary materials, I love it because It’s very chunky, and I go this one specially because I love the colour.
Opal and Jade Necklace
When I was a young girl I was given a perfume bottle, made from cut glass. Twenty five years latter, the woman who gave me the perfume bottle called me and asked for it back. Apparently it was worth a bit of money, and she has a small collection of them. So I gave it back, in return she gave me this hand made in Tasmania, opal and jade necklace, even the chain is hand made. At first I didn’t like it. It has a very 70’s feel, but I have grown to like it.
Chinese bracelet
In 1992, my partner and I bought this in
Heart Rings and Bracelet
Well, we decided to have a simple ring with a heart on it, we drew up a design and then took it to a jeweler here in
And we bought these bracelets both around the same time, we got this in
Ceramic Necklace

Pip the Pipsqueak Pup
Button Necklace
It hasn’t a title, but it is Creative piece, because I like to see things that have been discarded, unmentioned, unnoticed like Van Gogh himself till after he died, and actually giving it some space and some recognition, so allot of these buttons are relics and have been found in unusual places, as so giving them permission to be noticed.
Fork and Ring
