Wouldn't want to get knocked out by these knuckle-busters
You’ve always wanted a seriously swoon-worthy rock on your finger, and now you’ll finally get one after a quick stop at Natalie Dissel’s Bali showroom (by appointment only so book ahead). The jewellery designer cites travels across the Far East, Asia and Africa as her inspiration, and creates each piece using locally sourced materials, so that the end result is as eco-conscious as it is fashion-forward. What’s not to love about that?

Dear readers, as NYFW continues, we’ve got another treat for you – juicy tidbits from Mimi Jung, contemporary jewellery designer, renowned blogger, and all-around creative consultant at Brook & Lyn.
The blog portion of Brook & Lyn documents everything from Mimi’s daily ‘looks’ to recipes and fashion events. We’re smitten with her ridiculously chic, understated-with-a-quirk style; so it’s not surprising that her striking jewellery line has got our knickers in a twist. Bringing together unusual materials like hand crochet borders, micro fibre roping and semi-precious rough cut stones; the big, chunky, statement necklaces and bracelets get you noticed for all the right reasons.
Let there be light
Rose gold, silver and sapphires, oh my! You can never be too cool for a bit of bling, we say, and Melbourne’s hipsters are falling head over Acne heels for Pieces of Eight, a stunning avant-garde gallery-cum-contempo jewellery boutique that’s opened in one of the city’s fabulous laneways.
