About Salad Dayze
Salad Dayze is a small independent handcrafted jewellery label, based on the Surf Coast of Victoria. Each piece of jewellery is made by Sally within her home studio.
A major inspiration is mother nature with her playful, unstructured forms and free-flowing shapes. Water, wind, waves, clouds plants and more. Many of these forms are mimicked within Salad Dayze pieces, developing an alternative and norm challenging style to produce unique jewellery that is truly one of a kind.
Salad Dayze was created in 2022, as a side project through a passion for making and creating things by hand. Since then, Sally has studied a certificate in Engineering Jewellery and is currently part way through the further study of an Advanced Diploma of Jewellery and Object Design.
Sally's passion for creating stems through finding her flow state within the designing and building processes.
You can support her work through following along with her journey or buying handmade bits for your yourself, family or friends.
Sustainability
Salad Dayze produces minimal waste through using 100% recycled silver where possible (majority of silver used), as well as collecting all silver dust to be reused in a circular system of at-home sand casting practices.
​
Stones are ethically sourced where possible. Lab grown gems are used frequently, to create beautiful pieces that are made to last, as well as reducing mining practices.
Some custom jewellery is made with natural opals. I source all opals from within Australia, as I can track where they have been found, while knowing there are safe workplace practices and fair pay rates in place. While understanding that these opals are mined, we ask that you look after your opal jewellery as outlined on your product care card to protect your opals for years to come.
Some gemstones are bought second hand to reduce the production of new materials.
All packaging is either recyclable (mail bags & business cards) or second hand (ring boxes, jewels bags & some mail bags). Care cards are printed on handmade recycled paper embedded with wild native Australian flowers, to be planted in your garden after use (support the bees!).
