Emu Cufflinks

These Emu Cufflinks, created in collaboration with Bronwen Smith and Gavin Chatfield of Gwiyaala Art in Batemans Bay, NSW, celebrate the creative beauty and storytelling of Indigenous Australian culture. The emu holds significant cultural importance, symbolizing strength, resilience, and the connection to the land in many Indigenous communities. Made from stainless steel with resin and silver leaf, these cufflinks are a meaningful gift and a striking conversation starter. Presented in a box that doubles as a display, they invite you to stand with Indigenous Australian people and honor the rich traditions and artistic expressions they share with the world.

Their creations not only celebrate their heritage but also invite others to engage with and appreciate Indigenous traditions.
