A moment with Holly Ryan, founder of Holly Ryan Jewellery.

21/12/2022

Holly Ryan–the eponymous name given by designer Holly Ryan to her responsible jewellery label–was born from a lifelong love of crafting things from hand, the magic of making something from nothing, the sentimentality held by jewellery, and the love stories that surface as a result. 

What was the driving passion behind creating Holly Ryan? 

A life long love of making things by hand, a celebration of the tactile, the magic of making something from nothing, the joy of creating, the sentimentality held by jewellery and the love stories, the love stories are the best part.

Roll out of bed and into the ocean at Noosa main beach.

Probably my rainbow crochet mini dress by All That Remains.
 

Your go-to recipe? 

A rainbow bowl of veg and salad with a boiled egg, salmon, nuts and mirin dressing.
 

What does sustainability mean to you and your business? 

Responsible production, circularity, giving back more than you take, promoting circularity, promoting repair and recycle initiatives, respecting our beautiful planet and acknowledging the traditional owners of the land we live and work on.
 

I like to remind myself that even on the darkest days, the sun still rises. I have a tattoo with this reminder on the inside of my wrist.
