Holly Ryan was born to be a silversmith. No, seriously. Both her parents are silversmiths – it was totally inevitable.

Raised in Coolum Beach, Holly’s coastal upbringing along with her parent’s love affair with Mexico have been present undertones in both the lines she’s released since starting in 2011. She somehow manages to make pineapples and cacti completely grown up and sophisticated. It’s the sort of cool kitsch that melts your heart and makes you think dreamy rainbow thoughts.

She describes her work as “a collision of the natural and the unnatural - merging inspiration from architectural constructs and organic shapes”.

We love every piece in her new ‘Zephyr’ line. It’s designed for folk with “an independent mind - a wide-eyed optimist with a hunger for experience, a pleasure-seeking wanderer and an Australian at heart’. So we’re pretty sure you’ll love every piece too.
