ABOUT

Established in 2005 by Kara Van Riel, Kallure Jewellery is more than a studio clients visit for adornment; it's an atelier, a space where stories are shared and memories are made. Founder and Creative Director Kara Van Riel possesses a unique skill set that marries enduring form and function for everyday wear. With over 21 years of experience in fine jewellery, a Tafe Certificate IV - Jewellery Design and Production, a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Gold & Silversmithing, and a Masters of Fine Art, (Gold & Silversmithing) she specialises in unexpected gemstone colourways, uniquely paired with classic and contemporary diamond cuts. Her customised design philosophy includes gems she personally sources. With a reverence for technique from another time, Kara’s designs re-enliven the timeless antique craft of handmade jewellery into relevant, wearable art.

 

“For me it’s the sentimentality of the piece, but mostly the precious moments that come with the journey. It’s the love and the connection I get to share with my clients during this incredibly personal, sometimes vulnerable often beautiful, always empowering, moment in time.

 
 

I get great joy out of knowing this piece will be with them for a lifetime, and that I played a role in their story. Mindful of our client’s experience and its lasting imprint on signature keepsakes, every design journey is curated, custom to that unique person.

 
 
 

I think of myself as a storyteller. Connection is what fills my cup and jewellery is the cherry on top.”
