Georgie Brooks
Georgie Brooks is a Melbourne-based multidisciplined jeweller, designer and maker who draws on history to inspire her work. Using recycled metals and hand-cut, fossicked Australian gems, she creates customised designs with a sense of timelessness. Her blended design principles explore imagined histories, referencing ancient cultures from the Bronze Age to the Viking Era. She also pays homage to her Cornish ancestry, evoking rugged coastlines, wind-swept beaches, and echoes of a distant past.
Each piece feels like an artefact, something worn in another time or unearthed from a buried hoard of treasures. By reinterpreting history, Georgie transforms personal stories into meaningful, wearable heirlooms that mark life’s milestones.
Her close ties with fossickers across Australia allow her to source unrepeatable gems; from emeralds discovered in a retired miner’s tin to stones found in Tasmanian rivers. Collaborating with gemmologists, she has these stones cut to unique specifications, resulting in surprising shapes, colours, and forms that enrich her storytelling.
Georgie worked in London and Australia as an exhibition designer for cultural environments. With degrees in History and Interior Design, and an Advanced Diploma in Jewellery Engineering, she merges her love of history, design, and adornment to craft jewellery that honours the past while celebrating the present.
