It is with great honor that we showcase the extraordinary work of Melbourne Jeweller, Darylle Kelly. Known for her signature sculptural designs, Darylle masterfully combines South Sea pearls and unique gemstones—from diamonds and sapphires to garnets and aquamarines—creating breathtaking works of wearable art.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

Darylle Kelly’s journey into jewellery design began in 1973 with her first handmade ring. Over the last four decades, she has honed her craft, establishing herself as one of Australia’s most original South Sea Pearl and gemstone jewellery designers. As a qualified Gemmologist and a member of the Gold and Silversmith’s Guild of Australia, Darylle’s expertise and artistry are recognized at the highest level.

Her signature style is defined by a unique sculptural technique, where pearls and gemstones—such as diamonds, aquamarines, garnets, and sapphires—are masterfully combined to create pieces that flow harmoniously.

An Artist at Heart

"I am inspired by the gemstones and pearls I use to create my work. I consider myself an artist, who makes jewellery." – Darylle Kelly

Darylle’s fine arts background plays a significant role in her jewellery design. Drawing from her experience in painting and drawing, she approaches each piece as a miniature work of art, carefully balancing line, form, texture, and colour to create jewellery that is both visually striking and technically flawless.

     

Darylle’s creations range from elegant rings and earrings to pendants, South Sea pearl strands, and mixed gemstone and pearl necklaces. Each piece tells a story, capturing the beauty of natural elements through a refined artistic vision.

For those who appreciate jewellery as an art form, Darylle Kelly’s designs offer a rare blend of creativity and beauty. Whether you are drawn to the luminous glow of South Sea pearls or the brilliance of rare gemstones, her collection promises something truly exceptional.
