Two years ago, Holly Veronica Grouse introduced her Melbourne-based business HV Jewellery to the world with the aim of inspiring people to invest in unique handmade pieces that can be treasured for an eternity. After studying contemporary jewellery at Monash University, Holly launched her debut collection, Kurashikku, meaning ‘classic’ in Japanese. The unique collection of rings is hand-crafted from unpolished 100% sterling silver, with each piece showcasing the sometimes forgotten aspects of the metal.

Her second collection, Shizen, meaning ‘nature’, harnesses all things botanical, and references the natural environment through imprint techniques, resin casings and engravings. Pieces include the eye-catching Wattle ring and matching necklace, the stunningly simple My Mark ring, and the discreet Yama necklace. All of Holly’s wares are hand-crafted in Melbourne and made to order, ensuring that each piece is entirely unique.
