My Story

“I consider jewellery to be a small-scale work of art, a miniature sculpture worn to reinforce our personality and enhance our identity.”

Artist BIO

As the designer and creator behind FR Art Jewellery, my work is inspired by the beauty and intricacies of Australian nature, as well as the emotional connections people have with their jewellery. I specialize in handcrafted, one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate individuality and self-expression. Each piece is carefully designed and created with a focus on craftsmanship, quality, and meaningful design.

My creative process is deeply personal and often involves exploring natural forms, textures, and abstract shapes, resulting in jewellery that acts as a wearable art form. I work primarily with sterling silver and gold, using traditional techniques alongside modern influences to create elegant, timeless pieces. The process of transforming raw materials into unique, sculptural designs is a reflection of my passion for slow-making and intentional creation.

I aim to offer customers more than just jewellery; I want them to experience the emotional connection and empowerment that comes with wearing a truly unique, artistic piece. My practice is centred on the idea that jewellery is not just an accessory, but an extension of one’s personality and identity.

Meet Me: The Architect-Turned-Jeweller

I’m Francisca, a qualified architect with a master’s degree in Jewellery Design from the University of New South Wales (USNW). My journey has always been rooted in a passion for the arts, with a love for painting and architecture eventually guiding me to my true calling: jewellery design.

A Personal Approach to Jewellery

For me, jewellery is an extension of my life's narrative. Each piece is inspired by treasured items I’ve collected over the years and carries my spirit and energy. Every design tells a personal and meaningful story.

My Aim

My goal is to empower people through my art: "I want to give people the joy of wearing art on their bodies. A tiny scale of art that you can carry around with you every day and feel unique and powerful."

Meaningful Jewellery Collections

My creations are more than just accessories – they’re statements of personality, emotion, and belonging. My collections, showcased in art galleries, museums, and my Sydney workshop, feature handcrafted pieces made from high-quality Australian materials, including sterling silver, gold, and precious stones.

A Legacy of Uniqueness

Each piece I create is designed to be passed down through generations, telling a story that deepens the bond between the owner and the memories it holds. My jewellery is a testament to my passion and obsession, a reflection of my life's journey, and a celebration of individuality.
