Hi I am Jaf, of Jaf Elias Designs and I am a Contemporary Jewellery Designer and artist based in Naarm (Melbourne), and my work reflects the stories, emotions, and experiences that shape me. Jewellery, to me, is not just an art form—it is a language, a way to express the intangible, the personal, and the deeply felt. I create pieces that transcend mere adornment, becoming vessels for memory, spirituality, and transformation.As an empath, I find solace in the whimsical, fantastical, and magical realms, drawing inspiration from the beauty found in imperfection, nostalgia, and the fleeting moments that shape our lives. My work offers an escape into these worlds, a space where the wearer can connect with something beyond the ordinary.My creative process is intuitive and deeply personal. I combine intricate hand fabrication and complex soldering with the free-flowing nature of lost wax casting, allowing metals to take on organic, unpredictable forms. This balance of precision and spontaneity gives my work a raw, almost ancient quality—each piece feels as if it has been unearthed from another time, carrying with it a sense of history and mystery. I am drawn to textures, layers, and the interplay between polished surfaces and rugged, untouched edges.Rings hold a particularly special place in my heart, a connection rooted in childhood memories and the sentimental weight they carry. But beyond rings, I create jewellery that tells a story—pieces that feel like heirlooms from an imagined past, infused with meaning and emotion.Through my work, I hope to offer more than just jewellery. I want to create small, wearable worlds—pieces that invite wonder, evoke emotion, and remind us that even in the most delicate details, there is magic.Achievements:Finalist of Profile 2025 Competition from JMGA NSW (The Jewellers andMetalsmiths of Australia)Featured in Radiant Pavillion article
