These cute and quirky earrings are a Blue Turtles classic. They've been part of our collection for a while, and we can present them to you as a proven bestseller! The 4 little concave discs in each earring seem to have randomly fallen together, sitting neatly next to each other over here and overlapping over there. The discs themselves are gently hand-beaten, and the overall effect is pleasantly organic. The Coralie Earrings measure 22 mm in length and hang from a simple and stylish hook. They are, of course, fashioned from ...
The world famous physicist Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879 and died in the USA in 1955. He was a winner of the Nobel Prize and considered the father of modern physics. It is through his work that the quantum theory branch of physics was developed. Einstein was remarkable not only for his huge intellect (he is considered one of the most prolific intellects in human history), but for his spirituality and the enigma of his almost other-worldly simplicity. In the words of his colleague, nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer, ...

These beautiful and elegant earrings capitalize on the classic combination of black and white. Silver is the whitest of all metals, yet a simple and natural chemical reaction can render it jet-black. Here, two leaves of beautifully hammered silver, one highly polished to white and the other anodized to black, dangle freely one in front of the other. We offer you a choice of 2 sizes in the Black Forest earrings. Version 1 measures 26mm in length from the bottom of its hook to the lowest point and 6 mm across at its widest ...
Henry David Thoreau was an American author and poet who lived from 1817 to 1862. He was very passionate about natural history and wrote about the joys of a simple life, epitomized by living close to nature. His works, particularly Walden, influenced the evolution of the Environmentalist movement. He also developed his philosophy on civil disobedience, which proved to be an inspiration for later greats such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, both of whom themselves, incidentally, relentlessly and famously ...

As you know, we’ve been somewhat focused on issues of hunger of late. In July we announced that we would be supporting Melbourne based charity FareShare with a percentage of our August Gift Fair sales. FareShare rescues good food that’s destined to be thrown away, prepares it and redirects it to feed Victoria’s hungry and undernourished (learn more about FareShare here). Very soon after we announced our intention to support FareShare, the UN declared famine in East
The German philosopher and philologist, Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 – 1900), was a controversial figure of the 19th Century. Considered as one of the first of the existentialists, his philosophical views have been an inspiration for many prominent cultural figures and professions, including writers, artists, psychologists, philosophers, sociologists, revolutionaries and even dancers. Now, you can add jewellery designers to the list! There’s a lot to be said about Nietzsche. He questioned and challenged the value and objectivity of truth. He developed ...
