Jewellery Designer >

Melbourne Jeweller Deirdre Hoban recently produced her first seasonal collection, ‘Axiom’, the result of a collaboration with fashion designer Livia Arena.

After completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts with honours at Monash University Deirdre went on to produce one off Jewellery and small sculptural pieces, exhibiting them frequently around Melbourne.
Drawn to the entire designer maker process of silversmithing, Deirdre continues to create all of her designs by hand in her Fitzroy studio. Focused on the materiality of her designs, Deirdre uses porcelain, silk, natural rope and sterling silver to create her unique and enigmatic designs. The large scale porcelain pieces are designed to heighten the awareness of the wearer to their own body and the environment in which they exist.
