Genevieve de Jong

Always a maker, Genevieve de Jong graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Arts and Design,
jewellery major, in 2014. For the last 6 years she has enjoyed working within the arts / ethical
manufacturing jewellery industry while building up her arts practice.
Genevieve explores the interplay between jewellery and its wearer through the intimacy of
jewellery making. Known to use a variety of materials more recently precious gem stones and
precious metals have become an important aspect of her work.
Genevieve creates beautiful, hand made, one off sculptural pieces. Her ideas are often a response
to themes of memory and imagery, or simply from the old treasures she finds while stomping
around in the bush.
