A small family business based in Alice Springs is bringing its unique earrings to the world stage at the Expo 2025 in Japan.

Hunter&Co Designs’ earrings will be on display at the Australian Pavilion alongside other great Australian products and services.

More than 28 million visitors are expected to attend the World Expo between now and October, with 150 countries expected to participate.

Expo 2025 Osaka officially opened its doors to the public on April 13.

The World Expo provides an opportunity for Territory businesses such as Hunter&Co Designs to enter new international markets, build new relationships and attract business and investment opportunities.

Naomi Hunter, the owner of Hunter&Co Designs, said she was “beyond proud” to have her designs on the global stage.

“We continue to give this little business a red-hot crack, that started in the heart of Alice Springs CBD three years ago,” she said.

“Being a small business supplier and the only earring provider on the Australian World Expo cart, has really opened many doors and raised our profile beyond what we could have imagined.”

Ms Hunter registered her business in 2022, after purchasing polymer clay to make earrings, inspired by the Northern Territory’s nature and wildlife.

Since then, the business has continued to grow with Hunter&Co Designs earrings stocked in local art galleries, to wholesale collaborations being stocked in the NT, South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia.

Her business created exclusive collections for the Expo that featured popular iconic landscapes including Standley Chasm, Devils Marbles and Uluru.
