Seide (pronounced ‘side’) is a story of family, nostalgia, and a lifelong love for pearls. We’re three sisters who grew up watching our mother handpick the finest pearls and design her own jewellery. To her, pearls weren’t just kept for special occasions—they were part of everyday life.
We set out to reimagine pearls for the modern wearer—classic yet contemporary, elegant yet daring. Every piece is handmade with the finest attention to detail, ensuring the highest quality craftsmanship. Whether for a casual coffee run or a night out, our jewellery is designed to be worn, loved, and lived in.
Seide is our love letter to the past and our vision for the future—where our designs are for all ages, all styles, and all moments. We hope our jewellery becomes a part of your story, just as pearls have always been part of ours.
Mia Lazarus is a Sydney-based artist whose practice is deeply rooted in abstraction, guided by a curiosity for mark-making, materiality, and the world around her.
Her process is heavily studio-led and intuitive, evolving through layering, acrylic pours, and reworking to create compositions that feel both immediate and reflective.
Balancing bold colours with translucent veils, expressive marks, and organic forms, Mia works with acrylic, oil, oil sticks, and textural elements such as wood shavings. Her abstractions explore the tension between restraint and spontaneity; reduction and chance - resulting in works that are grounded in the sensory and emotional.
Through this, she seeks to create immersive experiences that invite viewers to engage deeply with the material and sensorial qualities of abstraction.

Sabine Haworth is a Sydney-based artist and a 2024 ‘Bachelor of Fine Arts’ graduate from the National Art School. Specialising in painting, Sabine draws on her personal experiences to create compositions filled with vibrant, unexpected imagery; often balancing bizarre or chaotic subject matter with calm, harmonious compositions and colours. Her works explore self-reflective themes, including vulnerability and change, capturing them from an optimistic and humorous perspective.
While painting remains central to her practice, she experiments with other mediums to explore and play, with some of these investigations later feeding back into her paintings. She aims to create work that feels genuine, drawing out moments of joy and laughter from ideas rooted in discomfort.
Ces (pronounced Ch-es) stands as a celebration of the personal and expressive nature of wearable art. Entirely a self taught jeweller, Fran crafts each piece with the desire for the wearer to feel as though their jewellery is a visible extension of their personality and individuality. Each piece is one-of-one and is designed for distinction.
Although Ces was only formally founded this year, the brand is a culmination of years of experimentation with jewellery making - going back to Fran's early childhood, where she would rummage through her mum's old jewellery boxes, pulling pieces apart and putting them back together. The joy in re-imagination has remained, with each piece being crafted from handmade, up-cycled, and carefully selected materials from travels; so that every link, gem and stone carries a story of reinvention.

Oscar of blonde. began making jewellery a little over six years ago, around the same time he first started wearing it himself. Frustrated by the lack of pieces that reflected his evolving style, he started creating his own from a small bedroom desk setup, armed with basic tools and YouTube tutorials. What began as simple experimentation quickly turned into a deep passion for the craft. Jewellery became his creative language: expressive, lasting, and honest.
The small personal project soon grew into blonde. - a jewellery brand built with craftsmanship at its core. Today, blonde. also runs ring-making workshops across Australia, inviting people to step away from the noise and create something real, lasting, and meaningful themselves. Even as it’s grown, blonde. remains true to Oscar’s original values - a creative celebration of lasting, tasteful, Australian-made jewellery.
