Grace Griffin is a Naarm-based artist, specialising in the ancient art of wax carving for jewellery. Her versatile skills have accommodated to a large range of bespoke pieces cast into precious metals - featuring hand-carved text, intricate pattern-work, and exquisite stones wrapped in free-form silver and gold. Graces eloquent handmade process brings an essence of mystic grandeur to custom forms, while honouring an age-old methodology.

Grace graduated with a Bachelor of Design in Fashion with Honours from RMIT University in 2007. This was followed by a role in Collection Development with iconic Belgian fashion house Ann Demeulemeester until 2013. Grace then began her journey into jewellery via her long-time label Cosmic Artifact. 

Working from her Collingwood studio, Grace offers custom consultations and wax-carving workshops by appointment. She also attends local and international gem shows alongside her Opal-mining Father, Rod Griffin, embracing a well-travelled path across Australia, Europe and the USA.
