Contemporary handmade jewellery by an ocean loving, wave chasing, lover of tools
Amy Rad is an inspired Australian designer and maker of precious jewellery. Creations from her coastal workshop are thoughtfully crafted with intention and delight.
Amy’s true gift is her ability to alchemise a concept, sentiment, experience, emotion into a piece of jewellery you adore. Her deep intuitive connection to people draws out the ideas and beauty they have simmering in their subconscious, expanding and evolving what shines through, then bringing those ideas to life with a combination of traditional hand tools and modern jewellery making techniques.
This makes the process from initial spark through to finished art, an experience unique to each custom piece, resulting in keepsakes you treasure. Perhaps it’s a beautiful daily reminder of a place or person, an attention-stealing piece you adorn to catch twinkling eyes or a celebration of your immense love that becomes a family heirloom.
Studying contemporary jewellery and object design, kindled Amy’s natural creativity, followed by specialised skill education through manufacture courses and invaluable mentorship with admired master jeweller, Rick Southwick. This generated opportunities for Amy to exhibit work in galleries, create small handmade collections and catch the attention of Twilight actress, Kristen Stewart. Amy Rad Jewellery has mindfully grown in this time to become the authentic small business it is today.
When tools are down for the day, Amy is known for her warm infectious smile. Often beaming as she chases sunshine, clean waves, and a simple meaningful life with her dreamy daughter Meadow.
“Getting a design just right, bringing all the elements together to create a piece of jewellery people love, feels like riding the perfect three-foot right-hand reef break, or hiking up to an expansive clearing with a breath-taking view. It’s a cheeky wink from the Universe letting me know I’ve tapped into something golden. How cool would the world be if we all paid attention to the universal winks? Imagine.”
