About

UNU Jewellery is a small-scale and 100% handcrafted jewellery studio based in the Northern Illawarra, on Dharawal Land. 

Each piece is consciously handcrafted crafted by me, Anna Wales.

Growing up on an acreage in the foothills of the Southern Highlands, NSW, I found my fun in the world beyond the front door. Playing amongst the Eucalypts and Acacia Shrubs, or by the creek making boats from leaves and twigs, my love and adoration of the natural world was engrained in me from an early age. 

Coming from a family of creatives, musicians to farmers and artisans abundant, the need to create has always run deep through me. And with my beloved Nanna once being a jeweller too, when it came time to make my own way in the world, I went to art school and learnt the ancient craft of silversmithing.

Since 2014 I have been evolving my practice, experimenting with new ways to make beautiful things out of the world I see around me. I am constantly inspired by the intricate and unpredictable forms of nature, and the long legacy of craftsmanship which enables people to live well alongside them.
