Something I adore is quality, original, handmade jewellery.

So much so, I can admit that I once dreamed about making beautiful pieces of jewellery and selling them to adoring customers. Oh the hours I would spend handcrafting each piece! But ah, that was many years ago, and besides, who has the time really.

So I find it very inspiring to meet someone who has made that dream come true.

For some of my international readers and others who don’t know, I’d love to introduce to you a very famous Australian jewellery designer, Sophie Kyron.

Sophie is based in Western Australia, and is a familiar and highly praised name in the Australian fashion industry. Having been established for 20 years and celebrated by fans such as Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette and Kate Ceberano (just to name a few), Sophie Kyron continues to dazzle fans (and me!) with each new collection.

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sophie to chat about her jewellery career. Dressed in a stylish grey suit and a stunning necklace of her own design, we shared a cup of tea in her studio showroom.

She describes her success to good, old fashion, slow and steady hard work. Hearing customer feedback. Fixed determination. And sticking to your dream. I like that a lot.

Many of her pieces are detailed, ornate, have a sense of drama and romanticism. She tells me that she often uses unique, vintage materials, to create beautiful one off designs.

Her store looks like a treasure box, bursting with original and striking jewellery. It’s just gorgeous! And it makes you want to buy something as a gift, or so you have some amazing jewellery piece to pass on to your daughter.

And best of all, you can buy Sophie Kyron jewellery from the online shop, which lists all pieces from her collections with prices and details. It’s an excellent website!

Or if you’re in Perth, you can pop into her showroom and studio in Swanbourne.
