‘Luxie’ – Victoria Cleland – 30th September – 17th October 2015

Please join us for celebration drinks with the artist on Saturday 3rd October 4-6pm.

Wearing diamonds as big as rocks? Draping row after row of pearls around your neck? Having access to the latest celebrity bling or some of history’s most treasured deluxe ornaments? The LUXIE popup shop offers its clientele* an opportunity to wear luxury jewellery at affordable prices.

LUXIE is the world’s newest brand in the highly competitive luxury market. The founder, who wishes to remain anonymous, developed LUXIE after losing everything in a disastrous relationship which culminated in the discovery that her much loved and flaunted $100,000 diamond engagement ring, was a in fact, a well disguised cubic zirconia. LUXIE is her answer to keeping it real.

Luxury comes in many forms…

*Must posses a sense of humour

Victoria Cleland’s jewellery practice investigates notions of value and meaning in traditional and contemporary objects. A candidate for Honours at Sydney College of the Arts, ‘Luxie’ is an extension of her current research into the nature of ‘luxury’ in the 21^st century. Victoria recently completed an internship at Studio 20/17 at 2 Danks St and in July 2015, co-curated Young Collectors with Judith Torzillo as part of the JMGA Conference in Sydney.
