When the days are long and sultry, and the thought of getting into and out of clothing in the dressing room is too awful to bear, the shopaholics among us can still get our retail fix with jewellery. Local jewellery company Stone And Metal has added a new option to the mix this month, with the launch of its very own eponymous sterling silver and gemstone label.

Brisbane-based designer and goldsmith Samantha Anderson has unveiled her first collection, Sticks and Stones, featuring six stunning stones – amethyst, lapis lazuli, howlite, quartz, smoky quartz and carnelian – set in sterling silver to form gorgeous pendants, geometric earrings, rings and cuffs. Samantha has designed the collection to encourage wearers to mix and match, without the risk of clashing. Browse the new collection online or pop in to the Fortitude Valley or Westfield Carindale stores for a closer look.
