Jewellery found through EA tells a story; is valued for the creativity, expertise and passion in which it is crafted; and, is intended to be a lasting and treasured piece in its wearer’s collection.
We have a deep understanding and connection to the jewellery world, and take pride in developing relationships with each individual artisan.
We continually search far and wide for new artisan-made work, so we can offer a carefully curated and ever-growing collection that represents the utmost in quality, craftsmanship and design.
We support both established artisans—whose work is highly collected, award-winning, and is made using innovative techniques pushing the boundaries of design—as well as those emerging in the field. Many of our artisans’ work is exclusive to EA.
Whether a contemporary jewellery collector or someone who simply appreciates beautifully handcrafted work, through EA we hope you’ll find unique jewellery that transcends seasons and endures the test of time, that is memorable, and infinitely wearable.
Eclectic Artisans is an online gallery showcasing handcrafted contemporary jewellery.
