From her roots in the sculptural corridors of Auckland’s Elam Art School to Melbourne’s vibrant and dynamic fashion scene, EMMA JANE DONALD’s journey is a testament to her ingenuity and artistic prowess. Her creations, marked by her signature matte finishes and clean geometric lines, reflect a perfect harmony of timeless elegance and innovative artistry, with each piece telling a story of meticulous craftsmanship.


Sustainability is integral; excess materials are re-used or recycled, minimising waste. With a hands-on approach, I prioritise quality craftsmanship over mass production.

My approach to jewellery design is deeply rooted in the belief that pieces should transcend fleeting trends and seasons, embodying a timeless elegance that withstands the test of time.
