When and how did Porter Jewellery come about?

I’ve always been a lover of gold jewellery and over the years really struggled to find beautiful quality pieces at an affordable price point which wouldn’t turn green after a couple wears. After a lot of research, back and forth with my production factories with hundreds of tested samples later I felt I perfected the most beautiful range of high-quality traditional jewels which I could continually wear and wear both in the water and shower and hold onto its beauty and shine; Porter was officially birthded in Aug 2019 with our first concept boutique opening just over a year after the online launch of 2020.

How would you describe the Porter Jewellery customer?

She has a strong sense of style, confident in her feminine form and treasures her independence. The yin & yang of masculine and feminine with her style approach

What has been the highlight of your brand/career to date?

I would definitely say the opening of our beautiful Bondi Beach concept boutique. This was a huge milestone for Porter and a space that really brought the brand to life. It truly is my happy place coming to work most days and meeting my beautiful customers face to face.

Any advice you would give to someone thinking of starting a brand?

To not be afraid to take risks (calculated risks) and just go for it! Also, do your market research. Is your brand relevant, has it been done before (if so, can you do it better?), is there a gap in the market and how can you fill it?

Do you have a favourite style that you’ve created over the years?

I would definitely say the Nixon Bracelet is my favourite piece I’ve designed to date. This piece brings back so many fond memories of my childhood and my grandma used to wear a very similar piece when I was a little girl. All of my designs are inspired by traditional heirlooms my grandparents used to wear.
