"I aspire
to create designs of enduring beauty and
to fulfill a woman's desire to be feminine,
refined and elegant."
- Kerry
Beard, founder Kerry Rocks.
Australian born Kerry Beard has
been designing jewellery for 6 years, and she combines
her two passions, travel and jewellery, in her
label Kerry Rocks.
Spending most of her life between
Asia and Greece, Kerry naturally became inspired
by the cultures of these regions. Her fascination
for precious stones and jewellery brought her back
to Australia to study gemology, and later her travels
took her to India where she lived for 3 years learning
all aspects of gem manufacturing and jewellery
making.
Today Kerry's work takes her all
over the world, from sourcing aquamarine and tourmaline
in Africa, to amber and opals in Mexico. The stones
are then hand cut and carved into beautiful gemstones
and set into unique jewellery pieces.
The distinctive old world inspiration
reminiscent in her work can be traced to the Rennaisance,
Persian and Roman periods, while the pieces are
designed for the contemporary woman of today.
A recent collaboration with Mexican
jewellery artist Jose Becerra has seen the addition
of the 'Serpentine' collection to Kerry Rocks.
This Art Nouveau inspired range of hand carved
Mammoth Ivory and Mexican Amber jewellery, is collectable
and precious.
Gemstones included in the Kerry
Rocks range are Ruby, Emerald, Tourmaline, Australian
Chrysoprase, Opals, Pearls and Jade.
Kerry Rocks is currently stocked
in selected boutiques across Australia.
And also our store in Paddington.
