At the centre of the Vetro e Metallo ethos are handmaking, recycling and industrial quality silver-plating to create an affordable range of collections of glass and metal (copper, brass, silver & antique silver) with soul.
Vetro e Metallo's collections defy fashion retail trends that are so dependent on imports and mass production. Each and every piece produced in V&M's forges and kilns comes with our lifetime workmanship & materials guarantee.
See V&M's latest designs at the Wollongong Mall markets each Friday, Bowral markets on 2nd Saturday of the month and the Bus Depot Markets in Canberra (Kingston) on Sundays.
Our latest Tidal Collection features beautiful found objects from the south coast shoreline wrapped in locally found copper. You can give us your favourite pebble, shell or special object and we will wrap it in copper or sterling silver for you.
V&M has a workshop set up in Wollongong where you can also order/collect/purchase jewellery, call first for an appointment 0410 116347.

Vetro e Metallo offers intensive, affordable one-day lampwork glass classes .
At the end of the class, students wear away stunning pieces of jewellery of their own making, the value of which more than covers the cost of the class.
Lampwork glass students get to make a 75cm eclectic necklace featuring their own glass beads.
Wendy Lees and Anthony Hoy, with collectively more than 20 years of creative glass experience between them, themselves conduct the classes. Anthony Hoy has worked with some of Australia's foremost glass artists, including Emma Varga (glass blowing) and Peter Minson (lampwork glass), and has graduated from glass-blowing and kiln glass courses at Canberra's Glassworks.
Kits are available for purchase for lampwork glass so students can immediately set up their own glass studio at home with their own choice of glass colours.
V&M has representation in Byron Bay, the Southern Highlands, NSW South Coast, Brisbane and Sydney, servicing the Australian fashion retail sector, and a burgeoning list of V&M stockists.
V&M's jewellery is all handcrafted, using recycled copper, beach and bottle glass. Each piece is a one-off, genuinely handcrafted using nil imports with
any product.
V&M's popular lampwork glass (glass beadmaking) tuition workshops are being conducted regularly in Wollongong. Go to our 'Glass Workshops' page to see students at work and then wearing away their new handmade glass jewellery.
Vetro e Metallo's furnace and kiln crafts behind the popular brand's cutting-edge recycled glass, copper, brass, silver and antique silver jewellery and homewares come with a lifetime workmanship & materials guarantee.
