Maxwell & Williams dates back to 1963. Harry and Ann Grundmann emigrated to Australia in 1961 to forge a new life. They started their wholesale company HAG Imports, and imported European homewares to the Australian market.

Harry and Ann retired in the Seventies, and their son Max Grundmann took over the running of the business. 

Along with experienced retailer Bill Ryan, Max expanded the business into their own brand, Maxwell and Williams, and so the now iconic 'White Basics' was introduced to the Australian market. It still retains itself as a top selling tableware range today.

This jewellery was crafted from a mug in the pattern Daisy Shadow, created by Australian designer Claire Chilcott. 

The mug these earrings were crafted from was probably manufactured in the last 15 years or so.

As with all Goosehouse Designs jewellery, this unique jewellery is individually handcrafted by me in my studio. My upcycled, sustainable, broken china jewellery is crafted from ethically-sourced, pre-damaged, vintage china, that would otherwise end up in landfill. It is the perfect romantic gift for wedding anniversaries, birthdays, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day and any time you want to show your love through a treasured piece of artisan jewellery.

Your Goosehouse Designs jewellery will be sent to you carefully wrapped and packaged using recycled and recyclable materials. I am committed, at all times, to operating my business in every way I can to be kinder and gentler to the planet.

The silver in these earrings is sterling silver, and is stamped with the .925 stamp.

The hooks are sterling silver.

These earrings measure 15mm x 5mm deep.
