DANA ANDREWS
FINE ART JEWELLERY
WELCOME,
I'M DANA.
I've devoted myself to crafting fine jewellery that breaks through conventional boundaries. Working from my private studio in Fremantle, Western Australia, I meticulously create exclusive handmade pieces unlike any other.
"IT ALL STARTS WITH A SKETCH"
"To me, jewellery transcends mere adornment; it embodies wearable art. Crafting a bespoke piece is an invitation to delve into the creation of something truly unique, infused with a story and an intangible magic that resonates uniquely with the individual it's made for"
MY MISSION
In a sea of mass-produced, cookie-cutter jewellery designs saturating the market, I've taken it upon myself to carve out a unique niche. My mission? To offer something refreshingly different.
My passion is fueled by a desire to spark creativity and inspire individuals to break free from the ordinary. I specialize in crafting distinctive pieces that command attention and make a statement. I thrive on projects that push the boundaries of design, eagerly embracing the unconventional with fervor.
The more daring and innovative the concept, the more it ignites my excitement. I revel in the challenge of bringing unconventional ideas to life, transforming them into wearable works of art that defy expectations. From avant-garde compositions to bold reinterpretations of classic styles, I relish the opportunity to explore new realms of creativity and expression.
By daring to be different and embracing the unconventional, I strive to offer clients a truly unique jewellery experience. My creations stand out amidst a sea of mediocrity, capturing the imagination and leaving a lasting impression. In a world where conformity reigns, I am committed to igniting sparks of creativity and celebrating individuality through my designs.
BACKGROUND
With two decades of invaluable experience, I've honed my skills in renowned jewellery workshops across Perth, Melbourne, Hong Kong, and London. My journey soared when I joined Tiffany and Co’s prestigious workshop in Australia, contributing to projects like The Great Gatsby and ASPECTS in King’s Park. Recently, I've shared my expertise at Solid Gold jewellers and as a respected TAFE lecturer, shaping the next generation of artisans.
AWARDS
I've been honored with numerous design accolades throughout my career. Notably, I received First place in the JAA Design Sketch Render Awards 2020 for the Pearl Category, and was a Finalist in both the Diamond and Colored Stone Categories. Additionally, I was recognised as the Western Australian Jewellery Apprentice of the Year in 2008. These awards serve as a testament to my dedication and passion for creating exceptional jewellery designs.
THE BESPOKE
DESIGN SERVICE
"IT ALL STARTS WITH A SKETCH"
Dana Andrews' bespoke pieces, meticulously designed and unparalleled in quality, are crafted in close consultation with clients, with each custom jewelry piece being hand-sketched and meticulously designed at Dana Andrews' private studio situated in the scenic town of Fremantle, Western Australia, where every gem is carefully sourced, polished, and set, each bearing its own unique tale.
IS MY JEWELLERY FOR YOU?
My jewellery is for you if you're someone who craves uniqueness in a world filled with cookie-cutter designs. You're not satisfied with the same old offerings; you're drawn to pieces that speak volumes and stand out from the crowd. As someone who appreciates art, you're constantly seeking originality in an environment that often promotes conformity.
You're not afraid to challenge the status quo. To you, jewellery isn't just an accessory; it's a form of self-expression and a way to assert your individuality. Each piece you wear tells a story and represents your refusal to blend in with the masses.
You understand the value of true craftsmanship. For you, it's not just about the price tag; it's about recognizing the time, effort, and dedication that goes into creating something extraordinary. In a world where mass production reigns supreme, you prioritize quality and design above all else. You know that a piece crafted with passion and expertise holds far more value than anything churned out by machines.
