Our Story

Founders Story
Believe it or not, my working life actually began behind a jewellery counter.
My very first job was in a local jewellery store. Who would have guessed that decades later, my career would come full circle and bring me right back to where I started.
Between then and now, I spent 27 years living abroad — I founded a disaster relief non-profit in SE Asia, managed a foundation for refugees in the Middle East, and even ran an adventure tour company in Sumatra! Eventually I returned to Australia where I ran my own floristry business for over a decade.
So when people ask how I ended up launching a jewellery brand, the honest answer, like most things in my life is — "I didn't exactly plan it.
It really started from a moment of pure frustration.
I was standing in front of the mirror trying — and failing — to get a necklace on. My partner wasn't home to help, and as I struggled with that tiny, fiddly clasp, I thought, "Who actually designed these things?"
I knew there had to be a better way but I couldn't find what I was looking for. So I decided to create it myself.
I'd discovered jewellery with magnetic clasps but they often felt a bit dated or clunky. I wanted something different — pieces that were modern, designed for everyday wear with an easy clasp that didn't require a second pair of hands.
So that's how I found myself back in the world of jewellery — this time, with a mission to make getting ready just a little bit easier.

"I've got better things to do than fiddle with tiny clasps — so I decided to fix it."
The OneTouch™ Clasp
This is how jewellery clasps should be.
Most jewellery clasps have not changed in decades. They are fiddly, frustrating, and almost impossible to do up on your own.
The OneTouch™ clasp is different. It is magnetic. The two ends find each other automatically and connect with a single gentle click. One hand. No mirror. No help needed.
Will it fall off?
That's the first question everyone asks. So we tested it.
Even with a full bottle of perfume hanging from the necklace — the OneTouch™ clasp doesn't move.
Designed to be effortless and secure for everyday wear.
