Welcome to our world

Enjoy x

Servicing both her James St and Westfield

Carindale clientele, Samantha has managed

to curate two diverse galleries yet maintain

the raw and rustic aesthetic of her brand.

Having forged a reputation as one of

Brisbane’s finest artisan, Samantha’s passion

is evident as she talks you through her

inspirations. For her, nature is key where

raw elements are sourced from the earth

and blended together in a way that not only

celebrates their beauty, but also enhances it.

“We are the middle man for the wonders

of the earth. Elements of the earth are cut,

polished, shaped and brought together to

create precious glittering magic” she muses.

“The true beauty of Stone And Metal lies

with our clients who come from all walks of

life. Our customers come through our doors Stone And Metal

Behind the scenes

and unearth their own treasure, whether it

be something rugged and raw or slightly

more refined, the piece speaks to them and

becomes a part of their style story.”

So why do the best of Brisbane flock to Stone

And Metal for statement pieces through to

casual chains? All stock, whether carved by

hand or purchased internationally, is unique.

A token from Stone And Metal becomes so

much more than an adornment, it becomes

an heirloom.

Enjoy your Stone And Metal read and

we look forward to seeing you in our

galleries soon!

#myway

A new store, a new collection and

a new lease on life deserves a new

and improved lookbook and we

are delighted to reveal our bespoke

Stone And Metal magazine which

brings to light our inspirations,

collections, travels and experiences.

Within this edition, you will find detailed imagery,

anecdotes and behind-the-scenes musings which

culminate in the Samantha Anderson Metalsmith

Collection, recently released Botanica and Tribe

Collections, as well as our ‘Treasured Travel’ pieces that

stock the shelves of our beautiful Brisbane boutiques.

Working with crystals, precious stones, earthy tones

and beaten metals, artisan Samantha Anderson has the

perfect mix of local, national and international treasures

to suit every style, demographic and budget.

Meet the Metalsmith

Bohemian beach vibes meet minimalist city styling where structure

and strong metals intertwine with earthy elements for the perfect

fusion of contemporary and cool. Influenced by the world around her,

Samantha builds a story into each piece with every stone, gem and

element serving a purpose. With the recent launch of her collections

Botanica and Tribe, we sit down with the designer to find out what

makes her tick as a goldsmith, business owner, wife, mother and muse.

What does ‘style’ mean to you? It’s self expression. When you know

yourself and are confident in who you are, your style becomes more

simple and streamlined and that’s when it is the most striking.

What is your biggest achievement

to date? Aside from the obvious

(creating three amazing little

human beings!), being a finalist

in both 2014 and 2015 for

the JIA Jewellery Retailer of

The Year. This is Australia wide

and every other retailer in our

category was about diamonds

and engagement rings, so it was

really encouraging to see that

people appreciate something

outside of the mainstream.

What is your go to outfit? Jeans,

a silk shirt and a beautiful pair

of statement earrings. Comfort

is key.

“Nature is key. Ultimately, this is who we are: elements of the earth cut, polished, shaped and brought together to create precious glittering magic.”

What is the biggest risk you

have taken in your career so

far? Opening my first gallery

at a time when people said

retail was dying. I just had

to stay true to my vision and

trust my instincts and it was

so rewarding when people

responded to that. Our tribe

of likeminded lovers of unique

jewellery is growing every day.

Where do you find inspiration

season after season? The

world around me. Nature is

so rich in unexpected colour

combinations, shapes and

textures - it’s impossible not to

see something new every time

you look. I am inspired by many

forms of human expression also,

architecture and street style in

particular. Especially when I

travel. I’m like a sponge.

What is your favourite piece of

jewellery? My wedding ring.

It’s a simple gold band but the

gold comes from my mother and

mother-in-law’s first wedding

ring. I loved the idea of bringing

that all together.

Have you always been

fascinated by accessories and

making jewellery? Always. I

remember turning two Michael

Jackson key rings into a pair of

earrings to wear to my first Blue

Light Disco in Grade 6 (it was

the early 80’s!).

Describe your studio to us?

Boxes of raw stones just waiting

for their turn to shine. Slabs of

silver looking all industrial and

unassuming and tools, tools,

tools. It’s organised chaos – to

me, not to the untrained eye!

Raised in Melbourne and spending the

majority of her teenage years by the

magical beaches of Northern New South

Wales, there is little wonder where

Samantha draws her inspiration from.

it the ideal accessory.

… which celebrates Mother Nature in shades

of Coral, Jade and Lapis Lazuli. Drawing

upon seedpods, delicate wings and Summer-

garden tones for inspiration, the jewellery is

a celebration of classic Queensland terrain

and styling where bold statements and natural

elements are always favoured.

An accessory ‘connoisseur’, Samantha

understands the value of a statement piece

and works to blur the line between fashion,

functionality and affordability.

“We aim to show people that these natural beauties not only work with your of-the-moment fashions but are enduring quality pieces of craftsmanship that will last a lifetime yet not cost the earth.”

Samantha Anderson presents:

is a stunning array of natural wearable art

that continues our addiction at Stone And

This collection celebrates the art of

female adornment. Taking inspiration

from its’ very earliest forms, Samantha

aims to show that jewellery is timeless,

raceless and enduring.

Across cultures, from continent to continent and

throughout the ages women have styled themselves in

decorative ornamentation. Whether symbols steeped

in tradition, stones rich in meaning or pieces to

signify a status, self decoration is an integral part

of what it is to be a woman. And in this, we the

world over, are part of one sisterhood ...

#mywayNo matter your age, size,

shape or income, ‘style’

comes in all forms.

Bucking trends and designing from the

heart, Samantha Anderson curates her

galleries with a number of women in mind,

where one bangle can transform and renew

from customer to customer. From the ‘less

is more’ lady who elegantly displays her

bangle on her arm to the boho goddess

who layers it up with other treasures, each

Stone And Metal piece can be interpreted

and worn to suit you.

The successful #myway social media

campaign involved a selection of stylish

local and national ladies who were invited

into the Stone And Metal world to select,

style and photograph their favourite pieces

“their way”.

From young and trendy street-stylers

through to luxury loving ladies, the

campaign was designed to prove that

fashion (accessories in particular) integrate

into your lifestyle and journey – not the

other way around.
