Fast-growing Australian jewellery brand eyes overseas markets
Their business Sarah & Sebastian had unlikely beginnings in Sydney a decade ago, but Sarah Munro and Robert Sebastian Grynkofki are now sending their delicate jewellery to the world.
There is an induction ceremony of sorts for new employees at Sarah & Sebastian, the demi-fine jewellery business that celebrates its 10th birthday this year. Each team member has a fine chain of gold soldered onto their wrist.
Using a centuries-old technique, one of the company’s jewellers takes a length of chain, measures it against the wearer’s wrist, lights a soldering iron and, with a flourish of flame, there it is: a sign that you’re part of one of Australia’s fastest-growing jewellery empires.
