Sustainable Jewellery in Australia | Recycled Gold & Ethical Sourcing
Jewellery designed to be treasured for generations.
Founded in 2017, RUUSK was built on the belief 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.
Made slowly, just for you in Sydney Australia.
Never plated. Never vermeil. RUSK is committed to handcrafting heirloom quality solid gold jewellery, made to order just for you.
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. Each piece is carefully checked in our Sydney Studio, before being lovingly boxed, ready for our customers.
We work exclusively with solid 9ct, 14ct, and 18ct gold or platinum - never gold-plated or filled. We choose quality materials that will 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, and we take great pride ensuring every detail feels perfect for it's wearer.
Sydney Studio
In April 2026 we opened the doors to our new Sydney Studio. A dedicated space for customers to take a quiet pause from the outside world, try pieces on, feel the weight of solid gold in their hands.
Our team is there to help you find what's right for you. Whether you're at the beginning of your search or almost there, we welcome you with no pressure, no rush. Just you, the jewellery, soft music playing, and the time to decide.
About our Creative Director & Owner, Mary
In 2025 Mary (Mimi) took ownership of the brand, drawn to its values and the community it had already begun building. A lawyer turned designer with a deep personal connection to heirloom craft, she brought with her a vision for what RUUSK could become: a brand where every piece holds a story, and where the experience of choosing it is as considered as the piece itself.

PHOEBE & JACKSON: A LOVE STORY YEARS IN THE MAKING
From teenage sweethearts to the next chapter of forever, Phoebe and Jackson’s story is one of growing together, choosing each other and a love that only deepens with time. We sat down with the couple to revisit their journey, a proposal filled with meaning, and the feeling that says it all: euphoria. Take us back to the beginning. What do you remember most fondly about those early days together, and what is something about your relationship that has only grown more meaningful with time? Jackson and I met when we were just 15. Our love story began as an on-and-off romance, which eventually blossomed into an official relationship in 2017. We started out as friends, both pining after other people, before gradually realising that what we had with each other was something more. Looking back, it’s funny to think of us then; he was the naughty kid at school, and I was the girl with the awful laugh. Over the years, the most meaningful part of our relationship has been the way we’ve learned to adapt, change and grow together, while also continuing to grow as individuals. Despite being together for so long, we’ve never stopped evolving as people, and I think that’s something truly special. I often think that individual growth can become lost within a long-term relationship, but I’m so grateful that ours has never been that way. We’ve continued to encourage each other to become the best versions of ourselves, while growing together along the way. Jackson, can you take us through how the proposal came together? What did you have in mind, and how were you feeling leading up to it? I initially thought of somewhere that was special to Phoebe, and the first thing that came to mind was on her grandmother's property. It took a couple of weekends to clear the gardens as they were overgrown. It all came together perfectly once it was cleared, and I knew this was the spot. I was pretty nervous until I realised I was finishing up work for the day and a wreck walking up to the spot with Phee by my side, but soon came to ease as soon as soon as I saw gran sitting there. Phoebe, when you think back to the proposal, what do you remember most vividly? Is there a particular moment you find yourself returning to? I definitely had a feeling I would get engaged that weekend, but I had no idea how he would do it. Although I suspected it was coming, I was completely and utterly surprised by the way he proposed. We were meant to be going to dinner and a night away, but were called to Granny’s house to fix a faulty PowerPoint (Jackson is an electrician). There are two moments that stand out most vividly in my memory. The first was my Granny handing Jackson the ring. This was incredibly special to me. My Granny, now 91, is like a second mother to me, and I spent almost every weekend of my childhood at her home and her garden. To have her be such an important part of that moment, in a place that holds so many of my childhood memories, made it even more meaningful. We have her handing the ring to Jackson in photos and I will cherish this forever. My two favourite people in the most memorable moment of my life is something words can’t describe. The second moment was when Jackson took my hand just before bringing me close to him to say a few words and propose. It felt as though time stood still. I remember feeling completely overwhelmed with happiness and disbelief that we were actually ready to take this next step in our lives together. Jackson, when you first started looking for Phoebe’s ring, what did you hope it would look and feel like? And what was it about Phoebe's ring that made you know you had found 'the one? She had always mentioned she wanted a ring from your brand. She thought initially it would need to be custom as the design she knew she wanted wasn’t on your website but then you released the exact design she had been hoping for, so that made the starting point fairly easy. From there, I had a few specific details in mind. I wanted the diamond to be proportionate to her finger, not too big and not too small, but somewhere perfectly in between. I was also hoping for a diamond with beautiful clarity, and you guided me so well in finding the right balance between the two. I was particularly drawn to the idea of a brushed gold setting. I hadn’t seen it used as often in other rings, and I loved that it felt a little different and less mainstream. It felt very Phoebe, very her. If you could capture this chapter of your relationship in one feeling, what would it be? Honestly, completely EUPHORIC. As you look towards everything that lies ahead, what are you most excited to experience together? We are really excited to stand at the alter together and hopefully experience the euphoria of what it was to hold each other in the proposal. We can’t wait to feel that intensity again. Along with the natural progression of life together.

JEWELLERY TRENDS AT PARIS FASHION WEEK SS27
The mood in Paris was clear: more colour, more personality, more gold. SS27 saw heritage codes reworked, romanticism return and jewellery take on a more expressive role. We take a closer look at the key jewellery trends emerging from Paris Fashion Week, and the RUUSK pieces that reflect the season. VALENTINO: Colour is in full bloom After a long era of neutrals and the clean-girl aesthetic, maximalism is making its return. This was particularly evident at Valentino, where Alessandro Michele brought his signature world of bold, eccentric and beautifully collected dressing. Colour, pattern and personality came together in a way that felt deeply individual. What this means for jewellery:Coloured stones are having their moment. Think expressive colour, unexpected combinations and sculptural pieces that bring personality. The RUUSK Edit:Coloured stone pieces, from champagne and yellow diamonds to sapphires, rubies and birthstones, bring that same sense of individuality to any jewellery collection. Discover The Birthstone Collection →Shop by Stone → DIOR: Romanticism, reimagined Jonathan Anderson’s Dior was a pastel dream, with romanticism and whimsical femininity at the forefront. Fine pleats, soft volumes and airy fabrics created a sense of movement and lightness, balancing delicate femininity with a distinctly modern edge. What this means for jewellery:Soft, romantic jewellery is finding its way back in. Look to gentle curves, organic forms and pieces that feel almost botanical in their shape. The RUUSK Edit:The Monte range bring softness and organic movement to the collection, with sculptural curves designed to be worn every day. Discover Monte → The Talisman range is a celebration of the finer, heirloom-quality details, with fine engraved etchings that wrap around soft edges like pleats. Discover Talisman → CHANEL: Heritage, made modern Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel was a journey through time, drawing on Gabrielle Chanel’s signature codes and reimagining them for the modern woman. The collection celebrated freedom, movement and pieces designed to live with you. Jewellery followed suit, with considered pieces designed to be layered effortlessly from day to night. What this means for jewellery:Heritage styles are being brought into the present. Think refined, stackable pieces with a sense of history, worn endlessly in new combinations and collected over time. The RUUSK Edit:Our plain gold bands and stackable rings are designed to become part of your everyday collection, layered and worn in ways that evolve with you. Discover Stacking Rings → SCHIAPARELLI: Jewellery as a secret language Daniel Roseberry’s Schiaparelli delivered some of the season’s most unforgettable jewellery and accessories. Structured tailoring and textured embellishment were punctuated by jewellery inspired by spirit animals. Motifs appeared throughout the collection almost like hidden easter eggs, woven into charms, buttons, embroidery and intricate accessories. What this means for jewellery:Jewellery is becoming more symbolic and expressive. Charms, motifs and meaningful details allow pieces to carry a story that is entirely their own. The RUUSK Edit:Our hand engraved signets are designed to hold memories and stories in every etching.

Discover Pendants & Charms → SAINT LAURENT: Gold takes centre stage Anthony Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent, staged with the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower, was drenched in gold. Shimmering lamé, metallic surfaces, brocade and dramatic silhouettes made gold impossible to overlook. And the message for jewellery was just as clear: gold is no longer simply a detail. It is the hero. What this means for jewellery:Statement gold, sculptural forms and layered pieces are taking centre stage. Gold is being worn with confidence, as a defining part of the look rather than a finishing touch.
