We can’t tell you yet who made which pair of “red square earrings” as we have decided to keep it anonymous so that you can choose your favourite without feeling guilty about it.
Bout #2 – the Brief
21 Feb
Bout two’s brief was kindly and spontaneously produced for us by Nat who within five seconds produced the key elements that the design must contain.
Key Elements:
– Type of Jewellery = earrings
– Theme = square and red.
– Materials = anything goes.
When:
Thinking, sketching and planning can start now, production of the piece is to be started and completed on Sunday 26th of February.
**note** the parameters of the brief are open to interpretation, exploration and can be bent but not broken.
Flower Ring
18 FebThe little flower atop of this ring is made from only one piece of silver but still manages to produce a complicated and perfectly, imperfect flower. With an awesome shiny black oxidised look it is ready to show people that not only are you super cute but also just like an onion, you have layers!

Who are we?
20 Janminnette vs. corey is a collaboration and rivalry between two jewellers. The basic ideas it that by working together we are able to pool more genius, skills and ideas into our designs, while the competition betweens us motivates our designs to be more awesome.
Our design goal is to create jewellery that is fresh and modern, but also cute and everyday. Something that we would wear, well mostly that Minnette would wear. We also try as much as we can to keep our designs handmade in order to help give it a kind of soul and ensure a high level of quality.
We keep our design ideas fresh by regularly competing in bouts. Here friendly competition encourages us to innovate within a set of constraints that can include materials, colour, shape and theme.
You can follow and be a part of this competition by following and voting on the bouts through this blog and facebook.
Minnette
Dividing her time between the metal swarf of JamFactory, the inedible lolly factory and just hanging out with cute monsters, Minnette decided she needed more. Her options, Mexican wrestling or battling Corey in the arena of jewellery. Short of a shiny outfit and constant taunting by Corey she chose the latter. Now she is the peas to Corey carrots in this whirl wind adventure.

Corey
Bored of his job, Corey sought out the great Minnette to teach him the ways of jewellery. Now Corey works in an office by day where he doodles his jewellery designs on post-its. Then at night he puts on his onesie and turns into a jewellery making machine! He still considers himself to be the young grasshopper of the group as he has so much to learn.
