Brent Dakis’ latest collection for Depths of the Never Never is a stunning assortment of pendants created from vintage finds. ’The Lingering Shadow of Time Travellers’ collection features pieces made from bygone treasures including pocket watch casings, brass stampings, hat pins, watch-part storage vials and black & white photographs. One of the standout pieces from the collection is The Prophet, a collage of re-cycled sterling silver, 9ct gold, copper and brass set in a sterling silver pocket watch casing. For those with a vintage aesthetic and a love of time-worn beauty this latest collection will no doubt get pulses racing . . .

After a brief hiatus I’m back with all the latest from TK HQ. I’ve had a great summer discovering much creative talent, so keep tuned as I announce who will be joining the Tribe Katalyst fold in 2010.
In the meantime feast your eyes on a gorgeous piece by emerging Tasmanian jewellery designer Anna M Williams. The Misty Highlands Brooch – a little piece of the Tasmanian wilderness right there on your lapel . . .

My love of the derelict, poetic and god-damn beautiful has led me to discover the stunning images of Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre. Detroit is firmly planted on my go-to list now . . .

Brent Dakis is one clever guy. Brent takes broken vintage watches and timepieces and turns them into absolutely stunning jewellery – necklaces, earrings, cufflinks. Tribe Katalyst isn’t the only one to be enamoured of Brent’s talent – Handmade Melbourne has recognised him as one of Melbourne’s top artisans in their 2009 edition. Keep tuned – you’re going to be hearing a lot more about Brent and Depths of the Never Never.
