About
Inspired by nature. Crafted with intention.
I never could have imagined that the hours spent alongside my dad in his workshop, tinkering and creating little treasures from found bits and pieces, would one day grow into a lifelong passion for making jewellery. Those early moments became deeply precious memories after my dad passed away when I was just eleven, but they remain the foundation of everything I create today.
My journey began when I studied to become a specialist art teacher. During my first year, I took an elective in jewellery, and the first time I worked with metal, everything clicked. I fell in love with the process of turning an idea into something tangible, something that could be worn and cherished. From that moment, I knew I wanted to dedicate my studies to jewellery making, so I changed my degree to focus entirely on Jewellery, Metalsmithing, and 3D Design.
After graduating, I was fortunate to receive support from a local arts organisation that sponsored me for a designer–maker project. That opportunity helped me launch into several galleries and share my work with collectors and jewellery lovers across Australia.
Growing up surrounded by bushland, I’ve always been deeply inspired by the beauty of Australian native plants and the stories they hold. My work is a way to honour that connection, to remind us of the fragility of our biodiversity and the joy of bringing nature’s beauty into our daily lives.
Today, I work from my Perth studio, overlooking a garden filled with native plants that attract bees, birds, and the occasional flock of endangered Carnaby’s Black Cockatoos. Here, I create collections of finely detailed, lightweight jewellery in powder-coated stainless steel, alongside limited-edition and one of a kind precious metal pieces. Each design is linked by a shared aesthetic, an appreciation of organic forms, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a love of the natural world.
Mr Rabbit, circa 1977. I still have such strong memories making this with my dad, and Mr. Rabbit is still around, a cherished object in my mum’s collection. (maybe looking a little worse for wear after 42 years!)
What My Collectors Say
“Robin’s work is an exploration of materials and techniques that reflect her passion for Australian flora and fauna. It is a theme visited by many great Australian jewellers in the past, but Robin brings a refreshing modern slant in her creations.” — Nola
“I remember my first pair of Robin Wells earrings, bought many years ago now, still beautiful and quintessentially West Australian. I love their uniqueness and the story I have to tell about each pair I own, where, when, and how I got them. Robin is passionate about her craft and her love of Australian flora and fauna shines through every piece of handcrafted jewellery she has created.” — Dayna
