UNUSU DESIGNS
Ethically handmade jewelry, each with a unique story inspired by the pristine elements of nature and the spirit of personal adventure that expresses something about who we are, what we value and connects each and every one of us.
Custom Orders
For us, human connection and emotions are the ‘soul’ of our jewelry. That’s why we do things a little bit differently. All our jewelry is adjusted to fit you after purchasing.
To add narative and priceless sentimental value and emotion behind your jewelry, we will also gladly take you on a personal (virtual) journey through Bali, Indonesia to handpick your own gemstone and be involved in the creating process of your piece.
After your purchase we will send you an email where you can specify your size and let us know that you would like to select your own stone. We will schedule a WhatsApp video call when we go buy our gemstones and you can hand pick which stone you want. With your stone we will start creating and thereafter we will send you short film snippets of the making of your own jewelry.
While quality is one of our foremost priorities, small imperfections or “beauty spots” as we like to call it, are intentional and only add character and uniqueness to each piece.
About Us
Unusu Designs
Uniting US & U
We are an Australian and Dutch/Vietnamese artisan design duo handcrafting jewellery for both men and women in our Bali-based studio.
We design and make our pieces by “thinking with our hands” and embrace the fine detail found in nature, art and design. We carefully select each natural gemstone by hand.
Building the business around the concept “Uniting US and U,” we work in unison designing and creating handmade jewelry that are ethically responsible and one of a kind. Knowing that every person has a story to tell, our jewelry is inspired by the elements of nature and the spirit of personal adventure that expresses something about who we are, what we value and connects each and every one of us. Together we share a philosophical bond that unifies us in our journey towards feeling connected to ourselves, our environment and the world.
We believe that a beautiful lifestyle is possible for all when we make mindful decisions.
