Read an interview below from “Meet The Makers” mini documentary featuring Victoria Buckley.

Self-taught in her craft, Buckley first sold her collection from a stall at Sydney's Paddington markets in the early 90s. Her beautiful rings drew on medieval motifs finished with personalised engraved inscriptions. The idea caught people’s imaginations. "Back then, I knew nothing about making jewellery so I went to libraries and devoured whatever books I could find on the subject and then started cutting up bits of metal around the house to explore the process. No pots and pans were safe."

Buckley studied hand engraving with internationally reknowned master engraver Sam Alfano .

Today, the jeweller showcases her other-worldly collections in her luxurious studio situated in the Bvlgari Building, Sydney; it's a fitting environment for her rendered in gold, precious gems and diamonds. Here, Buckley is able to meet with clients and work on new designs.

Buckley accomplishes her extraordinary level of detail by working under a high-powered microscope. Her opulent cocktail rings and pendants, engraved with intricate designs are all meticulously carved by hand. She is inspired by her clients to create pieces that are truly meaningful to them. "I’ve focused on developing skills that enable me to both build on and break traditions and develop a unique voice," Buckley says.

"I'm influenced by many things, from architecture to nature, but mostly I'm drawn to fairytales," says the jewellery designer Victoria Buckley, who imbues her designs with an intriguing beauty inspired by the eternal. "I’m fascinated by the idea of a jewel as hidden treasure from an era outside of time.
