Brown Paper Packages Tied Up With String ...and a Riley Burnett please!

Up there amongst our all time "Favourite Things", there are Jewels.  And in this world there are some jewels that universally speaking, make a girl go Oooh Ahhhh - Kazuri Beads in Kenya, a DeBeer cut Diamond, Tatitian Black Pearls, an Imperial Jade from ancient China.

Right now, its the east coast of Australia that's got women of all ages cooing and asking their girlfriends "Is that a RILEY BURNETT"?

They're a little bit "Gemalicious" - Necklaces full of light and colour and playful design, but with all the real bling that makes ears prick at the mention of the label. Jennie Riley and Jason Burnett are "Riley Burnett"; an Australian Artisan Design house located in sub-tropical Lennox Head, New South Wales.

Riley Burnett began during as a year long sojourn throughout Italy in 2004. Somewhere between the Galeria Masini and a supper of Pesce along the Cinque Terre coastline, Jennie and Jason began collecting semi precious stones. Upon returning to Australia, the couple established their label, focusing on hand made signature pieces using Stirling Silver and the finest Agate, Carnelian, Lapis Lazuli, Onyx, Turquoise and Crystal stones, to name just a few.

Right now, Jennie's designs are gaining cult-like status as the collective Australian and European markets echo our Ooooh Ahhhhs.

Despite their transcontinental beginnings, Jen and Jason are determined to keep their business local, refusing to manufacture offshore. Handmade Designer Jewelery is the hallmark of any Riley Burnett Necklace, no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
