Thank you to Real Weddings Magazine for this delightful editorial piece...we couldn't have explained OXUS better ourselves.
​'Oxus was created by two sisters, Carolyn Cavanough and Lisa Lamarre, who had been frustrated for many years by their inability to source beautiful, high-fashion modern jewellery pieces. The sisters share a mutual love for contemporary design and striking, functional objects. Their mission is to create for the modern, fashion-forward consumer. Through original ideas, unexpected pairings, stripped-back style and new twists on the classics, OXUS was born. OXUS merges the world of high-end fashion jewellery with striking contemporary design, creating cult statement pieces guaranteed to add couture luxury to your wardrobe.
Unforgettable cuff, earring, armlet and ring designs combine complimentary gemstone colours with 14 karat gold and sterling silver precious metals, are available at oxus.com.au. OXUS, inspired by the cultural styles of Sydney and Montreal, has been designed for the individual who doesn't follow the crowd...instead, opting to lead it.'

    What moves you? Where are you most at home?
    Those answers have never shifted for me, not since I was old enough to hold a pencil. My first work experience was in the drawing department of a local newspaper, watching with adolescent envy the talents of cartoonists and graphic designers bringing their work to life with effortless precision.
    I soon came to understand that there was nothing effortless in the way objects came into being. Design is a process. There are no shortcuts. Talent only morphs into skill given plenty of application.
    My twenties, naturally, found me behind a drawing board. Cartoons and free form illustrations gave way to rigid, precision lines, reviews and revisions. And in time, the drawing board itself faded into a dusty corner and the heady smell of ammonia printing gave way to early CAD programs, clunky 2D drawings and revisions...and years later to the incredible array of computer-driven design we take for granted.
    We would sign off with our handwritten moniker then. We can model a piece now on a screen, if we so wish...tap away in virtual reality until the prize is complete. And the resulting render will rival the final piece in terms of its incredible, photo real finish.
    My sister and I started OXUS with a vision of bringing original, quality pieces to the market. Jewellery we would wear ourselves, and believed in. Our first, sell-out favourites (the hand cut crystal earrings and the simple, elegant cuff, with stones set on a 45 degree cut) set the pace. The feedback from clients gave us the impetus to continually refine our look and to keep working at pieces a man or woman could wear every day.
    We hope you love wearing them as much as we love making them for you.
    Come back and visit us often. I hope you enjoy the blog.
