I love, love, love Australian jewellery brand Dinosaur Designs!
Cutting edge, eclectic, colourful, creative and funky they've got it nailed!
I think what I like most about their pieces are the slight imperfections and lack of straight lines - don't get me wrong though, their pieces are still highly beautiful and desirable but they've got that handcrafted almost child like appeal to them!
Dinosaur Designs stand alone with their highly unique resin pieces, they were amongst the first to play with this new material in terms of jewellery design and it led them to create endless colour combinations, shapes,designs and textures.
Dinosaur Designs right from the beginning gained the reputation for one of a kind, statement and ornate jewellery and still to this day has this distinct reputation to their credit.
Dinosaur Designs began solely in designing / making jewellery in 1986 and by 1990 they were swiftly moving into homeware pieces after finding that there was not much in the current market place to satisfy their wild design aesthetic. Serving spoons, one of a kind serving bowls and cups just to name a few of their bits and pieces. This move into homewares helped to expanded their clientele and spread the Dinosaur Designs image and message.
Dinosaur Designs is a now well established Australian and international brand with stores open in New York, as well as exporting to more than 20 countries worldwide.
The pieces might set you back in terms of moola, but these pieces are not to be missed! The colours are dizzying and the rustic, rough shapes and designs are tantalising!
If you've got the cash to splash, then there is no doubt a piece waiting to entice and capture you! They've branched into metals and woods as well now, so if resin isn't your thing they've got you covered.

Note that all pieces are still lovingly designed and manufactured in Australia! <3
