Dinosaur Designs
SYDNEY, NSW
An Australian design studio working in handmade resin and metal, producing tablewares, homewares and jewellery from bangles and rings to bowls, vases, glassware and cake stands. The Sydney studio offers click and collect, and all orders ship carbon neutral. Alongside the core range sit collaborations and made-to-order pieces, with the work reaching an audience well beyond Australia.
JEWELLERY
E.G. Etal
MELBOURNE, VIC
Since 1998, e.g.etal has represented more than 50 Australian and New Zealand jewellery artists from a Flinders Lane gallery. The work runs from conceptually rigorous to quietly wearable — each piece made by an individual designer rather than a label. It's the kind of place that sells future heirlooms rather than accessories.
JEWELLERY
Opal Minded
SYDNEY, NSW
Australian opals cut into rings, pendants, earrings, cufflinks and brooches, set in 18K gold, platinum or sterling silver, and designed in-house by Renata Bernard. Stones are natural and untreated, carrying Australian provenance, some drawn from the company's own mines at Jundah-Opalville. Most pieces are one-of-a-kind or limited edition, grouped into named collections, with bespoke commissions and appointments handled at the boutique in The Rocks.

Salamanca Arts
Centre Shop
HOBART CITY, TAS
The shop inside Salamanca Arts Centre's 1976-founded sandstone precinct sells Tasmanian silver jewellery, Huon pine objects, and local ceramics — materials that double as a primer on the island's craft identity. The heritage warehouses give it weight; the work gives it reason to linger.
