Soul Mate

Soul Mate

Krista McRae
October 05 - October 29, 2016

Deep connections,
Feeling whole,
An unbreakable bond;
This is what a Soul Mate brings.

This October, we invite you to find your 'Soul Mate’ in an exhibition of new rings by one of our most loved artists, Krista McRae. Comprising of over 50 precious rings, she has worked to custom cut some of the stones and adds new scope into her signature faceted stacking ring series. The collection includes diamonds, sapphires, aquamarine and spinel, in classic and free-form cuts and varying colours. These carefully selected stones have been set into numerous variations of claw set designs, from the solitaire to double stone and four stone designs. Krista envisions these rings worn individually or in unique combinations, hoping you will find a symbolic Soul Mate in this collection of jewels to fall in love with.

Krista has completed both a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Sculpture), VCA, 1999, and an Advanced Diploma in Jewellery Engineering, NMIT, 2006. She has since held solo and group exhibitions at e.g.etal, Glitzern, Craft Victoria and BUDA, Melbourne; the Powerhouse Museum and Sturt Gallery, Sydney and The National Gallery, New Zealand.

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

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

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
