Titanium

Bangle bracelet: responsibly-sourced sterling silver, aluminium, titanium, 1.62 carat emerald-cut Turkish diaspore (gemstone). 

Path speaks to self-determination, mapping the complex topography of a person’s interior life. This one-of-a-kind sculptural bangle captures the essence of choices made, alternate realities, and the quiet illuminations that define our personal histories.

The core features a band of twice heat-coloured titanium, where iridescent hues and engraved linework reflect the maze-like trajectories of our lived experience. Framed by similarly engraved aluminium and featuring a sterling silver setting positioned prominently in front of the titanium, the piece is a gesture of taking ownership of one’s own life.

Crowning this wearable landscape is a little-known gemstone: an emerald-cut diaspore (also known as zultanite). The gem is claw-set atop a raised silver platform, framed by a delicate twisted wire border. This remarkable stone possesses a rare and natural ability to change colour from this soft mint green to a pastel yellow as it absorbs different wavelengths of light.

Statement Stud Earrings: responsibly sourced sterling silver, anodised titanium, approximately 17 total carat weight turquoise cabochons, cultured freshwater pearls.

The Martina Earrings draw their form from the graceful, rippling petals of the Gilboa Iris, a rare wildflower known for its complex purples and silky texture. Each earring features a hand-shaped titanium petal, anodised into deep tertiary violets that shift with the light. A slender sterling-silver filament carries a baroque freshwater pearl, echoing the iris’s delicate stamen.

Unlike the natural petal, which narrows inward, these titanium forms open outward, creating a sculptural archway that frames the vivid turquoise cabochon above. The turquoise serves as a symbolic crown—a reference to the brilliant skies and living landscape where the Gilboa Iris blooms.

Named for and modelled by Martina, a cherished member of our family, these earrings celebrate both the rare beauty of the flower and the quiet, enduring elegance she embodies.

Dimensions: approximately 7 cm x 3 cm (each)

Brooch: responsibly sourced sterling silver, anodised titanium, pear cut yellow-green tourmaline, stainless steel double pin.

Key is a shallow relief profile bust of a symbolic man. The form was constructed by chasing and repousse (using various shaped tools to hammer the surface of the metal from both above and below) from a 0.8mm sheet of titanium. The resulting sculpture was anodised into iridescent purple, copper, and blue hues, the dominant colour varying depending on angle of viewing and lighting conditions. Anchoring the profile is a yellow-green elongated pear cut tourmaline, which adds charge, tension, and contrast to the already sensual form of the figure, set in silver. At the base of the profile, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, א (aleph) is stamped and engraved back into the raw titanium.

The brooch cites the threshold of new beginnings, the ambivalent fear and attraction that attend fundamental change, and the embodied sensations that anticipate a coming touch.

Brooch dimensions: (H) 10.5cm x (W) 6cm.

Please note: this brooch is affixed with a vertical, 0.9mm stainless streel double pin, suitable for most fabrics.

Brooch: responsibly sourced 9 karat yellow gold, responsibly sourced sterling silver, heat coloured titanium, Brazilian heliodor (yellow beryl).

While wheat holds great cultural significance for many ancient civilisations, as well as modern empires and nation-states, this life-sustaining plant is native to the Middle East and is nowhere more deeply woven into the fabric of peoplehood than in this region. For Jews, it is difficult to overstate the fundamental role wheat has played in our formation as a people.

Wheat appears in the Torah (the original and foundational version of the Bible) from the very beginning, featuring in the book of Bereshit (Genesis) in the stories of Adam and Chava (Eve) and Yosef (Joseph). It is also one of the Seven Species (Shivat Ha’Minim)—a group of plants mentioned in Dvarim (Deuteronomy) as divine blessings of the Land of Israel. Alongside figs, barley, grapes, pomegranates, olives, and dates, wheat was a staple of the ancient Israelite diet and played a central role in daily life and religious rituals—an importance that continues to this day.

In Judaism, wheat is far more than just a food source—it is a symbol of sustenance, wisdom, divine blessing, and spiritual refinement, deeply intertwined with Jewish history, law, and mysticism.

Dimensions: 9.5 × 13.5cm (approximately 3.74 × 5.31 inches).

*Please note that the titanium pin that fastens this brooch is 1.5mm thick and therefore works best on looser woven fabrics.

Ring: responsibly sourced 18kt yellow gold, responsibly sourced sterling silver, responsibly sourced fine silver, heat coloured titanium, ruby, cultured freshwater pearl.

A tribute to the splendour of Byzantium, Byzanti is a handcrafted ring featuring a beautiful pinkish-red ruby, a cultured freshwater pearl, and heat coloured titanium. These luminous elements are set against a blend of 18kt yellow gold with responsibly sourced sterling silver, creating a harmonious contrast of warmth and brilliance.

Drawing from Byzantine artistry, this piece embodies the empire’s opulence—where gold flowed like sunlight, pearls symbolised purity and prestige, and richly coloured gemstones conveyed power. The ruby’s deep pinkish-red accentuates the ring’s historic ties to wealth and devotion.

Ring size: N (6 3/4). See our Sizing Guide.

Brooch: responsibly sourced sterling silver, heat coloured titanium, ethically sourced 4.46 carat white topaz from Mount Surprise, Queensland.

The fig tree is one of the first plants mentioned in Bereshit (Genesis) in the Torah, when its leaves were used by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to clothe themselves immediately after eating of the Tree of Knowledge (suggesting that perhaps the Tree of Knowledge was a fig tree). Fig trees are also one of the Seven Species—a group of edible plants mentioned in the book of Dvarim as natural endowments of the land of Israel. Alongside wheat, barley, grapes, pomegranates, olives, and dates, the fig was considered by the Ancient Jewish Kingdoms and the Israelites as staples of their diet. The first fruits of the Seven Species were also used as offerings traditionally given to the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem by worshippers—the wood of the fig tree serving as fuel for the Temple’s Eternal Flame. In the Ancient Jewish holiday of Tu Be’Shvat, also known as the New Year for Trees, dried figs are traditionally eaten as part of the celebration.

These are but some of the significances of the fig tree to the Jewish people. That the native species of the Levant are so enmeshed within the foundation of Jews as an ethnoreligious group speaks strongly to our connection to the land of Israel. This brooch is an homage to that connection.

The Nova brooch was made in response to the October 7th massacres that occurred in Israel, in particular the Nova Music Festival. Nova takes the form of a flower, a purple variant of the poppy anemone which is native to the Mediterranean region which includes Israel. The poppy anemone is Israel’s favourite flower, the red variant being Israel’s national flower. Following the massacre at the Nova Music Festival, the Israeli community has created individual memorials for those who were murdered, including planting flowers that honour the dead. Not surprisingly, a favourite among these has been the poppy anemone, or Kalanit (in Hebrew).

Malki Studio has created this brooch to express the ongoing grief of Jewish and Israeli people, and offer it as a solemn example of our people’s deep connection to our land, culture, history, religion, and each other.

Brooch and fibula: responsibly sourced sterling silver, heat coloured titanium, emerald cut 12.78 carat Bolivian amethyst, carnelian cabochon, acrylic paint on linen, varnish, sterling silver chain.

Karti is essentially composed of two pins which are attached through a chain. Its name is a reference to one of the prayers and symbols of the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashana), which represents divine protection from the malevolent forces that threaten the Jewish people.

Karti was made in the immediate aftermath of the October 7 massacres in Israel, and speaks especially of the strength of Jewish women.

Its design cites the traditional jewellery produced and worn by Jews in North Africa prior to our ethnic cleansing in the middle of the 20th Century. Traditionally, Jewish women would have worn two fibula brooches—one on each shoulder—which fastened garments. A chain traditionally connected between the brooches and suspended beads or other ornaments with various symbolic meanings.

In Karti, the fibula takes the form of an inverted Menorah, an ancient symbol of Jewish continuity, set with a carnelian cabochon, carnelian being a traditional material used throughout the Middle East and North Africa. Meanwhile, the titanium and silver brooch is shaped like an oversized olive leaf, representing the Jewish connection to the land of Israel as well as peace. The Bolivian amethyst on this brooch was set upside down, enabling the pavilion facets to fracture and multiply the miniature portrait (painted by hand using acrylic paint on linen) that is set behind the gem. The portrait allegorically depicts Jewish women, with facial features drawn from multiple images of female members of our family as well as Anne Frank and Golda Meir.

Karti was exhibited as part of the Intimate Worlds exhibition at NorthSite Contemporary Arts in Cairns. Occurring between August and October in 2024, the exhibition “is about celebrating materiality and process. The artists featured in ‘Intimate Worlds’ have a profound respect for their materials, and their work reflects a deep curiosity and dedication to their craft.” The work was similarly exhibited as a response exhibition to the Phantom superhero comic in 2023 in the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery as part of the Phantom Response exhibition.

Adam also published a magazine article which included text and images of his work, including Karti, in Yad Mizrah Magazine. Click here to view the article.

Drop Earrings: titanium, responsibly sourced sterling silver, responsibly sourced 14kt gold, ethically sourced 1.95ct (3.9ct combined) Brazilian garnets, cultured freshwater pearls.

The richly coloured Diatom earrings are a one-of-a-kind marriage of heat coloured titanium, sterling silver, and 14kt gold. The earrings are inspired by the photosynthetic microorganisms known as diatoms, which produce up to half of the world’s oxygen. The shells of some species of diatoms are almost crystalline in appearance, with sharp geometric shapes that are stunningly complex.

Each earring is based on etched titanium that has been heat coloured in saturated hues of green and pinkish purple. The deep red of the ethically sourced garnets is a complimentary colour to the titanium, and contrasts wonderfully with the brushed sterling silver settings that feature twisted wire and rivets. Dangling from the 14kt gold are two dark cultured freshwater pearls, with slightly mismatched undertones of green on one pearl, and bronze on the other.

Dimensions: approximately 3 cm x 3.5 cm x 2 cm

Ring: titanium, responsibly sourced sterling silver, repurposed lapis lazuli beads.

This one-of-a-kind, completely handmade ring comes from our Orbit Collection. The majority of the ring is a heavenly blue colour which was made by heat colouring the titanium sheet-metal.

Necklace: responsibly sourced sterling silver, responsibly sourced fine silver, repurposed silver, heat coloured titanium, cultured freshwater pearls, aventurine beads, ethically sourced garnet from the Queensland Gemfields.

The evil eye is a motif shared by many cultures around the Mediterranean Sea and predates the monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). In the days before the biblical God, the evil eye was not seen as an amusing superstition or as naïve magical thinking but as a real malevolent force that was at the heart of misfortune and suffering. Therefore, protection from the evil eye was correspondingly considered an essential and pressing need. The perhaps contrary strategy for warding off the evil eye’s gaze traditionally involved distracting it or reflecting it, which gave rise to many proliferations of eye-like or otherwise distracting imagery (such as the fig sign found in some Ancient Roman jewellery).

Jewellery can therefore be said to have once had a far more practical use than how we often think of it today, it afforded real protection from ill-will, misfortune, and suffering. In the present, it is arguably self-deceiving of us to think of contemporary jewellery as having lost this usage. If the evil eye can be understood as a force that works against us then the need for protection from it has hardly been transcended. It has only been fractured into a myriad of troublesome forces which we often feel overpowered by (such as climate change, disease, and inequality).

This necklace is a contemporary amulet, an empowering reminder to use one’s benevolence and resistance for protecting oneself and the world in the face of suffering.

Necklace length: 57cm.
