About Djurdjica Kesic

In the series 'Transformations' I was interested in exploring changes and shifts of form, from one piece to another and spanning the whole body of work. Pieces that start as the humblest and in the simplest forms transition into a range of formations where not one is the same. An element of change also occurs through a gradual and idiosyncratic way through wear. So the shift and change continues with the wearer.

Djurdjica Kesic has completed a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Interior Design at RMIT University in 1999 and has taught there for several years. A strong drive to create tangible objects has seen her develop a passion for jewellery and in 2007 she completed an Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology and Metalsmithing (Jewellery) at Box Hill Institute. The same year Djurdjica was selected for the Filippo Raphael Fresh! Award at Craft Victoria where she was a finalist. Her solo exhibition 'Nomad' was presented at Pieces of Eight Gallery in 2009 and travelled to Metalab Gallery in Sydney in 2010. Her solo exhibition ‘Meanders’ was held at Gaffa Gallery, Sydney in 2013. Some selected group exhibitions include 'Wood' Velvet da Vinci Gallery, San Francisco, 2012 and 'Breathe Into' COTA Gallery, Sydney and Jam Factory, Adelaide, 2013. Djurdjica continues to exhibit her work in Australia and internationally.

Bespoke

Such an amazing experience. My bespoke ring is stunning. It is constantly admired and I have people comment on it weekly asking where I had it made. Thank you again Melanie for my beautiful ring ( and my other gorgeous jewellery as well).Fiona

Engagement

I’ve been fortunate to have followed Mel’s work for almost 20 years— and have appreciated the immense effort she has put into her own work, not to mention curating a wonderful group of artists through Po8.Over the years I’ve been able to purchase her work— and it was a no brainer to get my engagement and wedding bands made by her. Her staff are incredibly helpful and kind- and I always make an effort to swing by and see what is in store.Shawn

Sapphire

My partner proposed to me with a Melanie Katsilidis Australian blue sapphire diamond ring. We are absolutely floored by its beauty. The architectural design, the jewels, the cut, it’s just out of this world! Thank you so much to Melanie and her team for all the thought, care and class with which you created our forever treasure!Natalie

Pearls

Pieces of Eight is my go-to for timeless, wearable luxury. The curation is always on point and all the artists in this gallery are incredibly talented. However, Melanie Katsalidis' pieces are my absolute favourite—sculptural, stunning, and unique. I always get compliments when I wear her creations. I own several and wear them constantly. They're effortlessly special, every day. I am obsessed with this place!LTP

Loved by many

Excellent customer service. The staff were helpful from the moment I walked in, through to selecting, purchasing, and resizing a ring. When illness meant I couldn't come in to the boutique, they gladly reorganised. The ring itself is an absolute banger, for what it's worth -- my fiancée and I couldn't be happier! Highly recommended.

The whole experience has been an unalloyed pleasure: a range of pieces that I enjoy choosing from, staff who are helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and helped make the whole process enjoyable. They handled the online enquiry as efficiently as they do in person. Anne

Pieces of Eight is an Aladdin’s Cave of treasures, show casing some of the most original and creative jewellery and objects to be found in Melbourne, let alone around the world. Over the years I have bought many different items from them and all, without fail, receive positive comments from family, friends and strangers when they see them. Dean

Always a wonderful experience working with the fabulous team at Pieces of Eight! First time working with them on a custom piece, by artist Belinda Esperson. A family member loved the style a brooch though found it a little large so she created a smaller version that was just perfect. Leonie
