Debra's story
Experience Unique Australian Handmade Jewellery with Debra Fallowfield
"I have no desire to mass produce my jewellery or to use any methods that may take away its uniqueness"
Meet Sunshine Coast based jeweller Debra Fallowfield
Debra Fallowfield, is a true pioneer in the world of bespoke and handmade jewellery. In an era dominated by mass production, Debra’s story is a celebration of craftsmanship and individuality.
New Zealand-born and with over 29 years of experience, Debra remains an anomaly in today’s industry.
While others turn to AI-driven production, she stays true to the art of traditional gold smithing, using old school tools to create one of a kind jewellery that is boldly beautiful, organic, and impeccably crafted.
This is "slow" jewellery, imbued with meaning, intention and love.
Debra draws inspiration from a diverse array of sources, from her fascination with viewing the world up close in macro detail to years of adventurous travels off the beaten path in South America. Even the simplest things, like the curve of a roofline, captivate her. She finds beauty in everything, even the mundane.
Debra collaborates with clients worldwide, offering remote consultations or welcoming visits by appointment at her Noosa Hinterland jewellery design studio.
Why Noosa loves Debra Fallowfield“For me, the journey in creating a piece is just as important as the final result, I enjoy the process and find beauty in the slightly imperfect nature of crafting by hand.”
"Jewellery that is ALWAYS one of a kind"
