24.01.2022 Do these two look like legends? Hells yeah, they do, and they are. On Pauly’s wedding finger, is the result of one of the most intricate briefs I’ve ever received. The journey to create this piece was intricate, significant, and beautifully messy. The piece which came out the other end is imbued with so much meaning these two have been together for 24 years. Every angle of this ring tells a story of their journey; there is 6 stones, 2 pieces of engraving and multiple text...ures and setting techniques. Thank you Amy and Paul for letting me tell your story. "Pauly and I got married at 18. We were just kids and so much has changed. I figured maybe we should do it all over again because who wouldn’t want to marry their best friend twice? I love you Pauly poo Huge shout out to @_alextempany who allowed me the privilege of commissioning this amazing piece. It has so very many layers and so much meaning (including 4 finely polished pebbles from Port Noarlunga beach representing our 4 children and the shore on which we said our vowels). The journey of this ring has been emotional, beautiful and thanks to you darling, one of the most enjoyable things I’ve ever done for love!" See more
24.01.2022 From Scanlon Theodore to Safety Goggles . It’s just gone 18 months since I made the transition from corporate life to that of a jeweller and small business owner. And what has my biggest learning been? Well, to be honest, there have been shitloads. Firstly, it's a cliche, but back yourself. Because uncertainty also means freedom, and freedom means potential. And you've gotta embrace it. And a recent one? I saw @elizabeth_gilbert_writer and she came out with some goodies.... my favourite? "You need to learn to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes. This is a power you can cultivate" @teganlouisephotography

22.01.2022 This woman, unfortunately, is not one of my best mates. But I wish she was. She is a force. She rocks my world, multiple times a week. The majority of people who inspire me this strongly, I know. This woman is Florence Welch (and the Machine). Seeing her live was one of those mental life changing nights - so I've done it three times She plays in the studio on repeat, reminding me to let go, run free and chase dreams courtesy of FATMUpdates X
22.01.2022 The Notorious RBG. We bow in thanks
22.01.2022 There is a story behind every piece of jewelry we create. 'From first kiss, to last touch' - translation? My dad's description of the moment a sunset hits the horizon, to the moment it dissapears And the inspiration behind these earrings - hand beaten suns named after Theia - the Goddess of Light @ella_tremonti @teganlouisestudios ... @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia See more
21.01.2022 This arm belongs to a badass. Her name is Tegan, and she takes amazing pictures I love the story of this beetle. She got it done in Tokyo, which makes it rad to begin with. But even better is that it's a Tiger Beetle - they run 22x faster than Usain Bolt, which is damn cool - BUT this causes an issue - they run so fast they blind themselves, hence they have to stop frequently. Which is just an awesome reminder for us all not to let life pass us by @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
20.01.2022 To celebrate the 'Who Got You Through' campaign, we have created a collection of our favourite pieces which tell the stories of a person, or people who make our lives that bit more awesome. This bracelet, pictured here in 9k Yellow Gold, was originally created to support women surviving domestic violence. Every one I create is imbued with their bravery, determination and resilience - and I love being able to pass that on to every customer Head on over to our second last post, the 'WIN' video, to tell us who got you through and go in the draw to BOTH win a $1,500 voucher @teganlouisestudios @jubtegg
19.01.2022 "I just bloody love jewelry" This was my first, and very simple answer to the not-so-simple question I get asked a lot, 'Why did you kiss your career goodbye/give up a job you love/say goodbye to your salary/etc etc etc? I put pen-to-paper for the first edition of 'The AT Journal', to attempt to articulate the not-really-so-simple answer to this question. Link in bio to read teganlouisestudios
19.01.2022 I had realised the corporate ladder was not the ladder I wanted to climb. A few years back, this realisation was the beginning of my dream to build my greatest passion into my full time career. Chatting all things grit, passion and resilience, @melissahiston of @sistacode and I chatted through what it took to make that dream a reality Check the link in @sistacode bio to listen ... #1 @teganlouisestudios @ Stupid Old Studios
16.01.2022 I developed a girl crush on this woman the day we met, and she wasn't even wearing pink eyeshadow and lipstick that day Apart from being warm, hilarious and passionate, she's also CEO of a steel company (and mumma to 3 little people, and an amazing wife and friend... and the list goes on). As testament to her awesomeness, we named a piece after her. It sparkles, is flexible and oh-so-practical - a sterling silver cuff which can stay on your wrist allll dayyyyyy longggg even when you live at a computer.

16.01.2022 Inspiration comes from some wild places Back in Jan, I met this little lady in Cape Town, and thanks to her catching my eye, I finalised the design ethos for a collection I've had brewing in my head for over 2 years. To this little nude lady, I am forever grateful

I wanted to get Pauly involved in this competition for a few reasons; i) He is one of those people who will write you a random note just telling you you’re great ii) He is an incredible father of 4, and the love of Amy’s life iii) the honour of making him a ring this year was the epitome of why I do what I do it was complex, beautiful, and we wove so much meaning and magic through it Paul is one of 3 judges deciding the most amazing Who Got You Through story the 2 winners will each receive a $1,500 voucher (heart).

12.01.2022 I got told yesterday that Rose Gold is like fairy floss for adults. I can't disagree. It makes me equally giddy and do funny dances Our big and bold Pineapples are now doing their thing in Rose Gold too @teganlouisestudios
10.01.2022 I was having a crappy morning this morning. So I did something which is always guaranteed to make me happy - look at this ring. So here is a peek at one of my proudest creations this year - we will share more on the creation of this beauty soon
10.01.2022 There are some hilarious things about iso. Namely, discovering what my natural hair colour is (missing you dearly @meg_tellish_hair_studio). And some awesome things, like seeing a rad floral facemask on this beauty by @damiancazalyart. And some downright shitty stuff like feeling like you're grounded when you've actually been really well behaved And yes, Express Shipping is still on us, and will continue to be until Melbourne gets it's groove back
09.01.2022 This week has been a heavy one with our hearts and minds supporting women in Turkey But this problem isn't for this week - it unfortunately is ongoing. These pieces all lined up make me think of tough little pineapple soldiers coming together to do what they believe in - providing shelter for women escaping domestic violence. This isn't for this week; it's forever. Every piece purchased from the Pineapple Collection donates $50 towards building this shelter - and always will Pic2 @teganlouisestudios @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
07.01.2022 Inspired by my beloved pink and veryyyyyy plastic hoops from my childhood, today these have officially become our best selling hoop earrings Textured on the outside, polished on the inside, they’re a little different, always bold, and always put me in a good mood... seriously! @teganlouisestudios @jubtegg
07.01.2022 This woman got me through 2020. It’s my mum . She listened to me cry (many times for no good reason), she looked after me and my baby when I was sick, she made us countless meals, and we drunk champagne on my lockdown birthday #caregiving Who got you through?

06.01.2022 "These earrings are a way for me to tap back into myself - something to help me feel like me, when lost in the whirlwind of new motherhood. Before becoming a mother, I would deck myself out (extravagantly sometimes!) as a form of self expression and plain old fun... However, I now find myself in activewear and an old maternity bra most days" I had the honour of being able to hand deliver these today - thank you @alexandra_ruth_knightley for sharing your story Pic 2 @teganlouisestudios @jubtegg
05.01.2022 Challenge accepted. I set up my business with the vision of celebrating and empowering women - this resonates so strongly. Stoked to see the social narrative shifting onto an uplifting topic.Thank you @jubtegg, @maryannbirkbeck and @carlii_lyon @teganlouisestudios
04.01.2022 We communicate almost the same whether she’s in NYC or here; parted by COVD or not. Wine. Laughs. Tears. And complete silliness. And wine again Jess shared her story of epic social distance - her best pal was living in NYC when all the craziness unfolded they FaceTimed everyday and compared the madness, and she’s just moved back to Melbourne a month ago. Jess’s entry has won story of the week (WAHOOOOO) and her and pal have each won a $50 voucher (and are still ...in the running for the main prize of $1,500 each ).

03.01.2022 The next best thing to travel??? Hanging out in Conde Nast Traveller UK this month If we can't get on a plane, at least our big, bold Gold Pineapples can continue to roam around the world doing their great work And a huge thanks to @mag_nation for managing to get us copies amongst this madness!
03.01.2022 You know that reallllly annoying thing, when you work at a desk, and your bangles drive you mental hitting the desk? Prior to becoming a full time jeweller, I spent a hell of a lot of time at a computer. This cuff was designed to fit in with a corporate life and not pick fights with the key board - it moulds to your wrist, sparkles like crazy and above all, is really comfortable. It's stacked here with the Half Moon & Black Rock Bangles Swipe for a close up, Click to shop @teganlouisestudios
