Philosophy

RUUSK believes in creating unique heirloom jewellery with purpose and intention. All pieces are made to order and are customisable to encourage meaningful and intimate connection with your treasured piece.

We’re motivated by timeless and deliberate designs, traditional jewellery making techniques, sustainability and conscious production.

“Designing for life is my motto. It’s about striving to create meaningful pieces that withstand trends and time, those pieces that you wear with love and which, in a way, become a part of you. This is what inspires me.”

- Tania Gnecchi Ruscone

 

Inspired by handmade heirloom jewellery, all RUUSK pieces are made using traditional ring carving methods to create contemporary shapes for you to customise. Each shape begins as a wax carving created by Tania in our Newcastle studio and then worked on with master stone setters and engravers to help bring our beautiful and expertly crafted pieces to life. All pieces are hand carved, cast and polished in Newcastle and Sydney and we are proud to work with local jewellers to support the continuation of traditional jewellery techniques and skills.

Our focus on durability and sustainability lead us to use locally recycled and refined precious metals including 9ct, 14ct and 18ct Yellow, Rose and White Gold. We believe that by creating durable pieces, we help encourage a quality over quantity mindset that leads to buying less and reducing our impact on the planet. 

All RUUSK diamonds and are purchased from accredited Diamond suppliers and are conflict-free. Where possible, we love to use locally sourced Australian Sapphires in our collection pieces and we work with Australian Argyle Diamonds upon request. 

We embrace the power of purchasing intentional and meaningful pieces that you can treasure for a lifetime and pass down through generations. Our organic designs celebrate the imperfections that make each piece unique. The ability to personalise your design aims to inspire an emotional connection to the pieces you choose to wear and own.

At RUUSK, we strive to make your experience as personable, thoughtful and beautiful as the piece we create for you.
