Beauty in simplicity

  • • Rachel creates timeless pieces of jewellery
  • • Her gold jewellery is inspired by Art Deco
  • • She uses fine details and precious stones

As a child, looking through her grandmother’s jewellery box, Rachel Swan did not know making these treasures could be a career. As an adult, she still wears her grandmother’s wedding ring, alongside her mother’s engagement ring. She understands the sentimental value of jewellery. With this in mind, she creates each piece with high attention to detail, offering her customers a gift that will last a lifetime. Although she started her business during the recession, she stayed with her passion and now has an elegant studio in the picturesque courtyard of Marlay Park. At the studio, visitors can view pieces and see Rachel at work at the bench. Here she creates luxurious textured gold, combining it with precious stones to create her unique pieces.
