About Vanessa Australia
Timeless jewellery inspired by the natural beauty of Australia
Family owned and operated since 1983, Vanessa Australia is named after our daughter, Vanessa.
Inspired by the beauty of our vast continent, we work with the natural materials shaped by time - gold, opal, iron ore, and paua shell.
In a time when so much is made offshore, our family business is proud to design and make timeless jewellery in our manufacturing facility in Perth, Western Australia.
A piece of Australia, to treasure forever.
