How did this all start?

by Anna Anagno October 09, 2018

Ever since I was a child I have always had an innate love for nature. Where I grew up, the nearby bushland was my playground. Spending my days catching frogs, butterflies + playing with mud was when I was at my happiest.

Barbie dolls + dress ups just never cut it for me.

After high school my love for nature led to graduating university with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Biology. Like most, I quickly fell into the corporate world working a 9-5 job. For 10 years I worked in unfulfilling jobs + battled daily with a screaming instinct that I could be doing more. Fuelled by my passion to spread the message of living a sustainable lifestyle I quit my day job in 2014.

Since then, I have created unique jewellery pieces that reminds wearers that our connection to nature matters.

I am proud that I have connected with many people far beyond the sunny shores of Perth, Australia. My jewellery pieces are being worn in Sydney, Auckland, San Francisco, Paris, Washington, Madrid, Johannesburg, Tokyo + places in between.
