Our Story

Rua is a female-owned, sustainable brand focused on creating modern pieces with a lot of texture and movement. Our designs are inspired by the natural forms and beauty of the Earth, blending organic shapes with contemporary style. 

We work exclusively with recycled silver and gold. Every piece is crafted with care to ensure it’s both beautiful and environmentally and socially responsible.

Creative Inspiration

Dynamic Forms, Timeless Beauty.

My jewellery is inspired by the raw beauty of the natural world—shapes and textures you find in wind-carved canyons, riverbeds, and ancient stone. I love working with organic lines and negative space to create pieces that feel sculptural but still grounded and wearable.

The colours I’m drawn to come straight from nature—deep greens, warm clay tones, dark stone, forest floors. Each piece is a quiet nod to the natural world: tactile, timeless, and rooted in a sense of connection to the earth.

Founder.

Thanks for visiting Rua Jewellery — it means a lot to have you here. My love for design and creativity has been a constant in my life, but my path into jewellery-making took a few unexpected turns. I actually began this journey while working in publishing, taking evening classes to explore my creative side. I started making pieces for friends, family, and myself—and quickly fell in love with the process.

In 2021, I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation and Syringomyelia, which led to some major challenges, including sensory loss and reduced dexterity in my right hand (and yep, I’m right-handed!).

Creating with my hands became a source of healing. As I finish my Level 3 Diploma in Jewellery Design, I’m creating pieces shaped by nature’s textures—things that bring a sense of calm and connection.

I hope you find something here that speaks to you, the way making it spoke to me.
