Who am I?
Hey! I’m Lava and I’m just a gal from Sydney Australia who cares about making fun, hypoallergenic earrings (by hand) for your amazing ears!
Wanna know where I’m from?
I was born in India, then grew up in Zealand (yup, I said Fush n’ chups) and now I live in Australia.
I grew up with TV shows like The Simpsons, Friends, Seinfeld and Dawson’s Creek if you want to get a sense of my sense of humour. Shows I’ve enjoyed as an adult are 30 Rock, Parks & Rec and Schitt’s Creek.
In my “spare” time (I have two little kids, so it doesn’t really happen), I love to read, watercolour, play board games, crochet & knit. I’m a nanna at heart! I’m currently reading the Outlander series.
My creative journey began early, with papercraft at the age of 7. Later, I made jewellery as a teen. After earning my Master’s in Design at UNSW, I launched a five-star wedding stationery business that I proudly ran for over a decade. Motherhood and chronic pain stopped me in my tracks—but now I’m determined to create again!
I love polymer clay with every fibre of my being. There is something so special about creating something unique and wonderful from a slab of clay. Even better is being able to see my art being worn by complete strangers around the world.
A portion of every sale supports charities that help postpartum women navigate the early stages of motherhood as that is very dear to my heart.
Connecting with this community is important to me. If you have any advice, feedback or words of encouragement, please get in touch.
I hope you like what you see and continue to come back for more!
