Designer, Jennie Riley and partner Jason Burnett laid the foundations for their business during a year long adventure in Italy and Greece with their two young boys. Using sterling silver with the beautiful stones she collected along her journey, Jennie created distinctive pieces that were quickly snapped up, first along the beaches and soon after, in stylish stores and boutiques in Italy.
A buzz was created and a myriad of ideas surfaced for the couple who decided to bring the family home to Australia to settle. Combining Jason’s enthusiasm with Jennie’s intense creative energy the business grew steadily. It wasn’t long before the couple set up home and workshop in the beautiful and inspiring coastal town Lennox Head, near Byron Bay.
Just a few years on, Riley Burnett is becoming known for the always new and bold pieces that emerge handmade from Lennox Head. Jennie’s contemporary designs incorporate only the highest quality materials; semi-precious stones and sterling silver. Strong colors and interesting shapes are a signature of the designer
