The short version

From the big brands to her own bench.

Lea trained in object design and holds a trade qualification in jewellery manufacturing, which is the hands-on side of the craft.

She spent years making for well-known Australian jewellery brands before setting up her own bench. Lea Bae is the result: one-to-one work with people on the Coast, on pieces that mean something to them.

How Lea works

One pair of hands,
start to finish.

  • 01

    Made by hand, by Lea

    Your piece is made by the person you spoke to. Nothing is outsourced.

  • 02

    Recycled & ethical materials

    Recycled gold and ethically sourced stones wherever possible.

  • 03

    Free, honest quotes

    There's never any obligation to go ahead.

  • 04

    No such thing as a basic question

    Most people Lea works with have never had anything made before. There isn't a question she hasn't been asked.
