Paula Walden
Disappointed with the lack of standards in the Australian fashion and fine jewellery industries, Paula Walden took things quite literally into her own hands, launching her very own showroom and workshop in the heart of the CBD.
Paula followed her dream of becoming a jewellery maker from her youth, and now her pieces have been featured in publications such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. There’s a distinctly art nouveau air about her ready-to-ship pieces that provides an elevated take on anything you’d find on the high street.
