Bench Jeweller

Job Description

WHO WE ARE: The FoundRae Collection is more than jewellery. The pieces are modern heirlooms, ones that allow the wearer to express something of themselves to the world. The FoundRae collection is intended to become part of the wearer, a second skin, to be an expression of identity and of personal values.


The collection is founded on a lexicon of archetypal, mythological and classical symbols with the intention of inspiring the wearer to take the wisdom passed down through generations and apply that to one's own life. FoundRae is a reminder, one we wear against our hearts or on our hands, of our capacity for change and growth. When you wear one of these pieces, you are announcing to yourself and to the world that everything you want and everything you want to be is already inside you - all you have to do is claim it.
