Ante is a designer and sculptor. He graduated from The School of Applied Arts in Split Croatia in 1968 with a degree in Industrial Design. He migrated to Australia in 1972. He started doing sculptures and wall pieces on order for David Jones some restaurants and private homes and also held private showings. He then opened 2 Galleries, one in The Argyle Arts Centre in The Rocks Sydney and another in Imperial Arcade in Sydney CBD. He met his wife Pamela in 1981. They opened a jewellery and accessories shop in Sydney's Queen Victoria Building in 1986. While there, they were approached by The Sydney Opera Company and made the jewellery for "The Coronation of Poppea", staged in 1988. We also made the jewellery for the stage play "Come On Get Happy" around the same time. After 4 years we decided to wholesale our jewellery and made exclusively for some top fashion and accessories stores in Sydney Australia and New Zealand. Ante's style is inspired by nature and surrounding elements. His work is handcrafted in pewter, finished in Rhodium or 22K Hard Gold electroplating and embellished with Swarovski Crystals. We are still designing and handcrafting our jewellery and we now have a stall at The Rocks Market in Sydney. We are there every Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm and most Fridays from 9am to 4pm.

5 out of 5 starsLove the earrings. Bought a pair while on a trip to Australia and was so sad when I lost one earring. So glad to be able to replace them. Delivery was super quick.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my jewellery look slightly different to the photo?
Slight differences in design are considered part of the handmade process and are not faults. This makes your jewellery as individual as you are.
Why does the crystal look slightly different?
I have endevoured to represent the true colour of the crystal, however due to different settings on monitors they may look slightly different.Please take this into consideration
Care instructions
Please give your jewellery a little love. Store in box or pouch provided. Keep away from water, oil and chemicals. You can wipe your jewellery with a soft microfibre cloth to remove skin oil.
What is Rhodium Plating?
Rhodium is a precious metal, a member of the platinum family. Applying a thin layer of Rhodium electroplating to our jewellery increases it's durability, giving it a beautiful shine and lustre. Rhodium Plating is scratch resistant and does not tarnish.
What is 22K Hard Gold Plated?
Our jewellery is 22K Hard Gold Plated. This is usually around the 2.5 micron mark. The main benefit is the plating will last longer.
