Our Story
Here at Neopkwaii there is a primary thread that runs through all our Jewellery. This central focus is the unique expression within all of us and how we desire to express that uniqueness in the world.
Creative Director - Benjamin Marett
Benjamin's story starts in an unconventional place as a classical ballet dancer. He has danced in companies in San Francisco in America and Dresden in Germany before returning home to Australia to finish off his career.
One of his career highlights was working with George Lucas on Star Wars episode 2, where he did green screen work for Yoda's fight scenes.
Another passion he has is for the clean crisp aesthetics found in sacred geometry. Benjamin loves exploring the infinite design possibilities within these forms.
"I have always had a deep affinity with crystals and the energy they carry. Through working intimately with crystals I have experienced how they can have a wonderfully positive affect on our lives."
Taking these 2 passions of his melding gems and crystals with precious metals in beautiful jewellery is what Neopkwaii is all about. Get in touch to have a custom piece crafted for you or a loved one.
