22.01.2022 I love to fly fish and it was an absolutely delight to make this beautiful ring for another incredible fly fishing women. I’m so lucky to live in Tasmania, with some of the best fly fishing in the world. A sapphire ring, 9ct yellow gold and silver.

20.01.2022 Mayben Jeweller is closed from today through till January the 11th. The biggest warmest thank you to all those who have supported me through this very challenging year. I can’t believe it’s been 3 years of having my own business. It’s been so much hard work with still so much to learn and build upon. I look forward to 2021, with so many exciting projects to come! #thankyoufromthebottomofmyheart #wattlewreath #womeninbusiness #christmaswattle #hobartjeweller

20.01.2022 Tasmanian Blue topaz, diamonds and a whole lotta love. This remake was so much fun, and how wonderful to make something completely new, from up-cycled metal. All hand made from start to finish. #tasmaniantopaz #reusereducerecycle #repurposed #oldtonew #repurposedjewelry #remodeljewellery #hobartjeweller #madeintasmania

20.01.2022 Cuttlefish cast rings, made using the thousand year old technique of casting using cuttlefish fish bone.... But the great news is... I have a day class available to teach this technique! December the 12th. https://www.mayben.com.au/booki/cuttlefish-casting-workshop This class will not be available in 2021, so book now to avoid disappointment.

20.01.2022 Turns out you can polish a turd. Your imagination is the only limit in my jewellery classes. A great result with an incredible collection of rings that include sapphires collected from Tasmanian rivers, knuckle busters that look like Tasmanian crocoite, or talisman styled pendants and earrings. Its always a delight to see the creations that are made! Thanks again to everyone who attended! @mishmeijerz @tricky_walsh #crocoite #crocoiteneedles #pooring #makeyourownring #makeyourownringworkshop #ringsfordays #moonah7009

19.01.2022 Another great result from the earring workshop. So many fantastic designs! We also played with titanium getting a great result with colours! So much fun. More workshops will be up soon. Make sure you sign up on my website to get updates.

19.01.2022 Cleansed by fire A ring melted down and made into this super cute pendant. A starburst design with a central diamond shining bright like a star. The star is a symbol for guidance and protection. A wonderful way to transform a pre-loved ring. #starpendant #cleanedbyfire #meltinggold #remodeledjewellery #dontsellitreinventit

19.01.2022 Have a wonderful and safe New Years! Bring on 2021. This starburst ring was remade from older pre-loved jewellery. 18ct yellow gold and diamonds. A wonderful ring to bring in the new year. #happynewyear2021 #tasdesigned #happynewyeartasmania #starburstring #hobartjeweller

19.01.2022 This here’s the wattle , the emblem of our land. You can stick it in a bottle, you can hold it in your hand. - Monty Python #acacia #wattle #sandpaperwattle #Acaciadenticulosa #yorkbotanicartprize @gallery152 #wildflowersofwesternaustralia #wildflowersocietywa

I will not be running any more workshops till July, as I am completely run off my feet! If you want to keep updated, please sign up to my newsletter on my website. To those that have booked into @kirraleajewellery workshop this weekend.. have fun! She is incredible.

18.01.2022 Some exciting news. I am very humbled and proud to be one of the 25 artists, amongst a group of very talented and creative Tasmanian women artists, chosen for the Women’s art prize Tasmania. A big thank you to the beautiful model Ruth who just made my jewellery piece sing. What a stunner. This piece is a continuation of my theme of work exploring currency. The work is made from 24ct gold $50 Australian notes in the form of a wreath. The leaves are shaped on the Tasmanian Blackwood wattle.

16.01.2022 I love that look, that smile, the love after couples make each other’s rings. It’s a truly wonderful and fantastic moment I’m always so privileged to be a part of. Another wonderful couple making each other’s wedding bands. #makeyourownweddingrings #makeyourownweddingbands #diyweddingrings #diyweddingband

15.01.2022 Before and after. It’s incredible how worn jewellery can be transformed into new jewellery with the history still imbedded into the materials.

15.01.2022 Shiny rings are made with dirty hands What could be more meaningful than crafting your partners wedding band, and having them hand craft yours? Tell the story of your love with your hands and create an unforgettable memory with a personalised couples workshop. #weddingbandworkshop #makeyourownweddingrings #makeyourownweddingbands #tasdesigned #tasmanianwedding #taswedding #tasweddings

14.01.2022 In the paper today as part of the home grown, go local, grow local supporting local business and the community.

14.01.2022 A sneaky peak of my entry to the #yorkbotanicartprize #wildflowersocietywa with @gallery152 the exhibition opens November the 2nd. Make sure you check out @gallery152 for the incredible artists involved. This piece is based on the Australian Sandpaper wattle - Acacia denticulosa, a stunning acacia with bright tubes of yellow flowers. Dwelling high in the branches of the wattle, alongside the birds and bees, feasting on fragrant yellow blossom is an unexpected resident the... ant. The ant and wattle have a symbiotic relationship and both benefit in many ways. The ants perform a vital role in the survival of wattles. Ants bring the seed back to their nests, chew off part of it and feed it to their larvae. They then dump the seed in their nest or bury it in their refuse pile. But although the ant has finished with the seed, by dragging it underground, the ant has placed the seed in a perfect environment for germination. Inside the nest, it is dark, safe from predators, moist and naturally fertilized. #natureisbeautiful #natureisamazing #sandpaperwattle #ants #antsofinstagram #Acaciadenticulosa #acacia #wattleseed #wattle See more

09.01.2022 Happy wattle day (eve) These earrings made with yellow chalcedony, 9ct and 18ct gold and oxidised silver. #happywattleday #wattleday #wattleearrings #wattle #acacia

09.01.2022 A comfortable, everyday ring, made from loved rings and family gold and diamonds. It’s amazing what you can make out of your pre- loved and sentimental pieces. Spring has sprung- so time to refresh and rejuvenate.

07.01.2022 First day of spring! And it’s wattle week! Spend the week enjoying the beauty and variety of wattles. My studio smells of honey thanks to the wattle plumage bouquet. Love the smell of spring in the air These natural citrine and 9ct gold earrings are available, as is all the work I’ll be posting this week for #wattleweek #wattleearrings #firstdayofspring #happywattleday #wattleday #wattleday2020

07.01.2022 Inspired by our Tasmanian Blackwood wattle, Acacia melanoxylon, this handmade locket Is made from sterling silver, 9ct gold and all Tasmanian stones, from Tasmanian citrine, Tasmanian topaz and quarts. Yes it’s a bit over the top, but why not. #handmadelocket #handmadelockets #wattlelocket #oneofakindjewelry #wattlelove

06.01.2022 In the studio today finishing the details on a piece that will be heading over to WA, as part of the #yorkbotanicartprize very excited to be a finalist. Can’t wait to see everyone’s work! Happy Saturday

05.01.2022 A very loving husband wanted a special piece for his wife, for her 40th. We sat down together and I showed him the collection of stones I had....he spent some time looking at the collection and finely settled for this beautiful golden rutile quarts. I’m a bit fan of stones with interesting quality’s, and just love the golden rutile! So beautiful. #rutilequartz #rutilequartzstones #bespokejewellery #oneofakindjewellery #hobartjeweller #tasmanianmade #tasdesigned

05.01.2022 I love transforming old jewellery to new. Keeping with the style of the sentimental jewellery, but making it new, contemporary and original. It was a birthday gift from daughter to mother. A very happy birthday indeed! #remodeling #reclaimed #remake #remodeledjewellery #wattle #sentimentaljewellery

04.01.2022 How beautiful is dendritic agate. This is a piece I made recently for someone who loved my older work. I have a huge collection agate in so many colours and forms. This one reminds me of a misty day in Tasmania, that feeling of calm and stillness, everything in soft focus, Tasmanian gothic at its best. #dendriticagate #tasdesigned #tasmade #tasmaniangothic

04.01.2022 Countless hours of work, but totally worth it. The entry to the #yorkbotanicartprize2020 #yorkbotanicartprize thank you to all the organisers @gallery152 Such an excellent exhibition with incredible artist. #wattle #acacia #hairpin #wattleseed

04.01.2022 Toi et moi ring - Meaning you and me in French, refers to a ring with two gems that sit side by side or close to each other, symbolising two souls becoming one. Most famously In 1796, Napoleon Bonaparte, at the time a revolutionary soldier in the French army, proposed to Josephine de Beauharnais with a diamond and blue sapphire toi et moi ring. She married him a mere three weeks later, but Napoleon’s family were fiercely against the union. An at-the-time shocking six year...s older than him, Josephine was also a widow with two children from her previous marriage. But the future Emperor of France was smitten, and it was a love story that has gone down in history as one of the most passionate of all time. This platinum and white sapphire and Tasmanian blue pear sapphire ring was made to order and looks stunning on her. I think I have to make a couple more as I love the idea #toietmoiring #toietmoi #tasmaniansapphire #rainyday #tasdesigned

03.01.2022 A wonderful class with incredibly creative students. Thanks for the wonderful photo @kimercedes #jewelleryworkshoptasmania #jewelleryclassestasmania #makeitwithmayben #jewelleryworkshop #jewelleryclasses

03.01.2022 From the rivers of Tasmania, pure, unheated, untreated. Found by a skilled fossicker for his finance, this beautiful stone set in platinum and white gold ring is simple, stylish and timeless. #tasmaniansapphire #tasmaniansapphires #bluesapphirering #tasmanianriver #tasmanianrivers #tasmade #madeintasmania #madeintas

02.01.2022 Thank you, I love it, fits and looks perfect, feels really comfortable on, can’t wait to show it off Nell. This was a fun and challenging piece, using 9ct yellow gold and peridots. The design was to match a beautiful pearl ring, so we went with a ocean style design. I think it matches perfectly with her ring, best of all I designed it to be comfortable for every day wear.

01.01.2022 Shiny rings are made with dirty hands another great workshop making a wonderful range of rings with stones cast in place. I have put up a new beginners workshop - earring making. Book now as the class is filling up fast! #silverringclass #jewelleryclass #jewelleryworkshop #makeyourownring #ringmakingworkshop
