Curlew 'Bush Stone' pin by Smyle Designs
Made in Australia from recycled acrylic
With their big eyes and curious stare, the shy Bush Stone-Curlews are one of Australia’s most delightfully odd bush birds. We think they are impossible not to love!
Our adorable Curlew earrings, made in Brisbane Australia using Recycled Acrylic and our original illustration, are eco-friendly and full of quirky Aussie personality.
Fun fact: Bush Stone-Curlews are found all over Australia and are famous for their statue-like stillness - they freeze like statues when they're scared —and their haunting night-time calls that echo through the bush and can spook campers who don't know it's just a bird!
Size: Curlew is 50mm x 16mm
All of our earrings use high-quality, Hypoallergenic surgical steel posts
In 2019 we started Smyle Designs, a little dream to make eco-friendly jewellery and we took our first products to market: Very homemade looking earrings! Ha!
It was a pretty exciting and we devoted all our spare time to it. We were obsessed! Our skills in design improved and our making process became more refined and we expanded our range.
Covid changed everything. We took the time made available in lockdown to build a website and start wholesaling to wonderful little shops all over the country. Smyle Designs quickly became both of our full time jobs - yay!!
We absolutely love what we do! Working from home together with our cute little side-kick Charlie. Making things for you!
Every piece of jewellery in our range starts with our original artwork.
We have developed a unique process to print onto Vinyl Records, CDs and 100% recycled acrylic.
We cut to size using a CNC router and assemble into earrings, brooches and pins by hand....all just the two of us (and Charlie!), in our happy little home studio in sunny Brisbane, Australia.
Our products handmade with happiness. They're cute and fun to wear! They're guaranteed to make you Smyle...
and they’re good for the planet!
