I’m Skye Roberts — a Queer Aboriginal artist from Bundjalung Country, based in Byron Bay. I got into jewellery-making in 2024 after a surf accident left me stuck at home. I needed something to keep my hands (and mind) busy, so I ordered a few basic tools online and started experimenting at the kitchen table of my share house. What began as a way to pass the time quickly turned into an obsession.

I’m completely self-taught — everything I know came from trial, error, and a whole lot of late nights filing, carving, and casting. Now I work out of my studio in Byron, creating pieces that reflect who I am and where I come from. My work blends contemporary style with cultural storytelling — bold, expressive jewellery that’s all about identity, connection, and making a statement.
