Iris Saar IsaacsIris Saar Isaacs
Based in Melbourne Australia, inSync design is an award-winning studio where graphic design meets contemporary jewellery.
Led by Iris Saar Isaacs, inSync transforms line drawings into wearable art in the form of brooches, bangles, earrings and necklaces.
Iris’ exploration of shape and colour results in a minimalist, contemporary and distinct range of jewellery synonymous with clever resolution and high-quality construction.
All pieces combine industrial materials and processes with traditional hand-craft techniques.
