"Hatreds Never Cease With Hatreds in This World; Only With Love Can They Cease"— Buddha

These words sit at the heart of LOVE & HATRED, a reminder that the choice to love is the most radical act of all. Handmade in Australia since 1983, each talisman is created as a quiet vow to soften where the world has hardened and to answer hurt with presence, patience and care.

Talismans for Everyday Ritual

Designed With Intention, Crafted With Passion, Worn With Purpose

Designed With Intention, Crafted With Passion, Worn With Purpose

Every LOVE & HATRED piece begins as a quiet intention, a symbol of what the heart is longing for. Sketched, shaped and set with devoted care, each jewel is crafted to hold warmth, memory and meaning rather than passing fashion. Worn close in the rhythm of daily life or at life’s great thresholds, these creations invite you to honour who you are, what you love and the path you choose to walk.

Giovanni’s gift in this life is his creative mastery of design and symbolism, including the frequencies they hold. Through the consultation process, Giovanni draws on his artistry, 40 years of design and his encyclopaedic knowledge of gemstones, precious metals, birthstones and symbolic jewellery as well as his catalogue of more than 1000 handcrafted jewellery designs. Each piece expresses faith, beliefs, energy, individuality and love.
