Custom jewellery design covers everything from concept to finished piece. Many jewellers can guide you through stone and metal options, then create made-to-order designs to suit your style and budget.

About Monica Szwaja
Monica Szwaja is an Australian designer and maker whose work sits between fine jewellery and contemporary art jewellery. Her practice is known for distinctive form, colour and craftsmanship, with pieces created to be worn while still carrying the individuality and visual language of studio-made work. Monica has exhibited in Australia and internationally, including shows in Japan and the United States, and her career includes recognition through jewellery design awards.
Bespoke commissions are an important part of the practice. Clients can work directly with Monica on a piece created for a particular person, occasion or gemstone. The process allows the design to develop around personal preferences rather than adapting a standard commercial setting.
Monica also undertakes jewellery remodelling. This can be especially meaningful when a client has inherited jewellery, older gold or gemstones that carry emotional value but are no longer being worn. By reworking those materials into a new form, the original connection can be preserved while the finished piece becomes relevant to the current owner.
Her work reflects the broader studio-jewellery tradition in which the maker’s hand and design thinking remain visible. Monica is also listed as a Fellow of the Gold & Silversmiths Guild of Australia, connecting her practice with a professional community focused on high standards of craft.
For customers looking for jewellery with an artistic identity, Monica Szwaja offers direct access to an experienced designer-maker rather than a conventional retail model. Jewellink should review the old Mt Eliza location, as current information places her studio at the Tyabb Packing House on the Mornington Peninsula.
