If you are looking for a unique and highly tailored experience to carefully craft a bespoke piece that marks an important moment in time, Georgie Brooks is a jeweller and designer renowned for her one-off designs. With each piece being made by hand in her studio, she specialises in crafting timeless jewellery that tells your story and is designed to be treasured for generations.
By drawing inspiration from her Cornish heritage and ancient cultures; from the mysterious Bronze Age to the Viking Era. Georgie’s designs evoke the feeling of discovering a long-lost treasure or an object worn through an imagined life journey. Her work suggests a sense of history, as if each piece has been passed down through generations, waiting to be uncovered from a buried treasure or hoard.
Each piece in Georgie’s collection is uniquely designed and incorporates custom hand-fossicked gemstones sourced and hand-cut in Australia. The stones she uses often feature unexpected shapes, colours, and forms, adding depth and intrigue to the stories her jewellery tells. This creative process means that every item is not only one-of-a-kind, but also carries an element of mystery with each design unfolding in surprising ways.
​All of Georgie’s pieces are made in Melbourne using 100% recycled metals, ensuring that each design is as sustainable as it is beautiful.

Georgie Brooks launched her precious collection at e.g.etal in Melbourne in 2018. All of the gemstones included in this work were sourced from different gemfields in Australia and cut by hand locally. Many of the final stones were cut as free form stones where the original form of the rough gemstone informed the final cut. Georgie hand made all of the pieces in this collection and every piece is completely unique.

Georgie Brooks and Juan Castro collaborated to explore threads of history, finding inspiration in cultures of the world that span back thousands of years. Orfebre is the Spanish translation for "goldsmith', a word that encapsulates the many skills, techniques and knowledge of this ancient craft. Their collaborative body of work referenced a cross section of ancient cultures, from the mysterious Bronze Age, to the Viking Era, and the ceremony of Spanish Catholicism. For this exhibition, both artists selected 10 pieces from history which they used as reference to inspire a collection.
