About RUUSK — Solid Gold Heirloom Jewellery, Handmade in Sydney
Fine jewellery that tells your story. Thoughtfully designed and made in Australia to be treasured for generations.
We believe jewellery should be more than an accessory; it should hold meaning, celebrate milestones, and evolve with you over time. Our collections are designed to be layered and lived in, growing alongside the moments that define you and in celebration of the great loves in your life.
Each RUUSK piece begins as a wax carving or sketch before being lovingly handcrafted using a blend of traditional and modern techniques. Our team of skilled local jewellers, engravers, and stone setters bring these designs to life, ensuring every detail is considered.
We work exclusively with solid 9ct, 14ct, and 18ct gold or platinum - never gold-plated or filled - choosing quality materials that stand the test of time. Our metals are locally recycled and refined, aligning with our commitment to sustainability. Our gemstones are sourced with care, featuring conflict-free natural diamonds, lab diamonds, and locally sourced Australian sapphires. Other stone options are available upon request.
We invite you to be part of the creative journey - whether it's adding a custom engraving, meaningful gemstone, or a design personalised just for you, our jewellery is made to be as unique as the person who wears it.
Our team
RUUSK is a proudly a female founded and lead team, united by a passion for craftsmanship and love of modern jewellery design.
Our Sydney team of creatives work collaboratively with local jewellers, engravers, and stone setters to bring each RUUSK design and customer personalisation to life.
"Our approach to jewellery design is deeply rooted in family and legacy. Growing up as the youngest of seven, I've been surrounded by stories, shared moments, and a strong sense of connection. These values translate into our designs with each piece handcrafted to become a keeper of memories, a symbol of love, and a quiet witness to life’s most meaningful moments.
Today, my greatest inspiration comes from my two daughters. They remind me daily of the importance of creating pieces that are not only beautiful, but enduring. RUUSK treasures are designed to be worn, loved, and passed down through generations. My hope is that every piece becomes part of a personal story, cherished today and treasured long into the future."
- Mary (Mimi) Creative Director and Owner
Sustainability
Sustainability has been apart of the brand from the beginning. For RUUSK, sustainability and luxury have never been in conflict, but rather a lens that has shaped the way we source, make, and think about the design of every piece.
We are driven by sustainable and mindful practices and are always looking for new ways and intentional initiatives to give back to this beautiful world we call home. Each year we raise the bar on what sustainability means in practice. Right now, it looks like this:
Made in Australia. Every piece is Australian made, locally manufactured, and crafted to an heirloom standard. We hope you buy it once and wear it forever.
Made to order. Nothing sits in a stockroom or is melted down as waste. Every piece is made for its custodian which means zero excess inventory, and a piece that's exactly right from the start.
Sourced locally and responsibly. We use recycled gold wherever possible. All diamonds are ethically sourced in accordance with the Kimberley Process, and 90% of our diamond and gemstone suppliers are Australian businesses.
Offsetting what we can't yet eliminate. We've partnered with Regenerate Australia to offset our studio's monthly carbon footprint, and we proudly plant a tree for every order placed.
Slow by design. We uphold traditional jewellery practices not out of nostalgia, but because intentional, unhurried craft produces heirloom quality standards.
Our diamonds & gemstones
All RUUSK Diamonds are conflict-free and purchased from accredited Natural and Laboratory Diamond suppliers. All of our Natural Diamonds are ethically sourced in accordance with the Kimberley Process* .
We take care to source beautiful high quality Diamonds and Gemstones in a range of colours and cuts for all RUUSK collection pieces and bespoke orders. These stones are primarily sourced from local Australian suppliers, and occasionally from overseas suppliers if required.
We welcome custom stone sourcing requests for all of our pieces and offer stone viewing appointments both in studio and virtually online. Should you be interested in a custom stone, please contact our team here.
