My story

Jewellery by Toni-Maree in her studio

Hello, I’m Toni-Maree

I am an Australian jeweller, artist and writer based in Brisbane, Queensland. I create thoughtful jewellery shaped by care, intention and time.

Captivated by the bench

Jewellery was not something I planned. I began studying a Bachelor of Fine Art with a focus on sculpture, but something did not quite fit. One day, I paused outside the jewellery studio and watched students at their benches, shaping small pieces of metal into what looked like tiny sculptures. I was curious. I enrolled in an introductory course, sat down with a jeweller’s saw in my hand, and knew almost immediately that I had found where I belonged.

What captivated me was the transformation. A flat sheet of silver becoming form. A simple length of wire becoming structure and story. Metal fabrication still feels like quiet alchemy to me.

Considered making

Over time, my practice has grown into something deeper than making alone. Considered making sits at the heart of everything I create. I work slowly and intentionally, allowing ideas to unfold rather than forcing them into being. Each piece is designed with thought for its beauty, its function and the life it will go on to live.

Caring for the earth and for the people connected to these materials is part of that same approach. Sustainability and ethics are not separate ideas in my studio. They guide how I source my metals and gemstones, how I work at the bench, how I package your order and how I continue learning. I believe jewellery should be treasured. Worn, loved and kept.

Made by hand

All of my pieces are made by hand in my Brisbane studio using traditional techniques that honour the craft of jewellery making. I do not outsource production. I do not rush the process. Each piece carries the quiet marks of being shaped by human hands.

Working with silver

I am drawn to silver in its many forms. Fine silver for its luminous softness. Sterling silver for its strength and durability. Argentium for its resilience and gentle brightness. These materials allow me to create work that is not only beautiful, but lasting.

Modern heirlooms

My hope is that the jewellery I make becomes part of your story. Modern heirlooms that hold memory. Pieces that feel personal. Jewellery created with care, and chosen with intention.

Thank you for being here.
