ZSASH features a minimalist collection of hand crafted jewellery, using high quality clay, semi-precious stones, findings and unique charms from around the world.
Each piece is carefully and lovingly handmade in my Melbourne based home studio.
Let’s create impressions that will last a lifetime!
You are in complete control on how your finished piece would look like, we will leave the creativity to you and we will help bring your piece to life.
PS: you have the option to have a double sided impression pendant, or single sided with a choice of a hand stamped letter on the back 💕
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Thank you for supporting my mum’s small business not only this Christmas but throughout the years!
PS: She will be taking a short break away from the ZSASH bench to spend some time with me by giving me lots of belly rubs, in the mean time… hope ya’ll enjoy all the festivities with loved ones 🙂

✨Creativity & Imagination ✨
It’s one’s creativity and imagination that is needed to create a handmade product. It can take us hours, days, weeks, months and even years of trials and errors until we are happy with our creations, and this alone cannot have a price tag.
✨One Set of Hands✨
We, the makers, are involved in each and every phase of the making process from start to finish.
From brainstorming the design, selecting materials, assembling the product, ensuring that every piece is at high quality, not to mention re-starting when things don’t go according to plan.
We also have to think about marketing our products (taking photos, creating/updating our website, keeping up to date with social media etc) designing the packaging, as well as processing orders and getting our products to our customers and even the accounting aspect of running a small business.
This is often done around our already busy day to day lives
✨Materials✨
We only source and select high quality materials and only purchase a small quantity and not in bulk. Not every small business has the financial capacity to purchase materials in bulk let alone have large storage spaces
✨It takes time✨
If you think about how machines work, making products faster and cheaper and are mass produced. Well, handmade, is the total opposite. We make each piece with attention to detail, care, love and soul.
Corporate giants makes hundreds of pieces in the same amount of time we finish ONE piece.
✨Uniqueness✨
Lastly, as you know, there will never be two identical handmade pieces. Shapes, sizes and patterns will vary from one piece to another, making each unique.
A handmade product is ‘more expensive’ because you're buying a unique item, made by a person who is passionate about their craft, who has poured so much time, effort, thought, care, heart and love into every piece 💕
There’s a lot of work that goes into making our terrazzo coasters! This clip only captured a third of the process.
1: we create the terrazzo chips by adding various colours
2: Measure and mix our eco resins, add terrazzo chips
3: Pour mixture into moulds
4: Wait for 20mins to cure
5: Demold, and sand each coaster using 4 different sanding grits
6: Scrub and wash each coaster
7: Let coasters dry for 72 hours
8: Seal each coaster twice to make them water and stain resistant
9: Let sealer dry for another 72 hours
10. Stamp logo on cork backings and stick it on
Then it’s ready for the packaging stage…

GOLD FILLED is a solid layer of gold mechanically bonded to a jeweller's brass which can't rub off, unlike gold plated jewellery.
ROSE GOLD FILLED is similar to gold filled, with the same quantity of solid gold mechanically bonded to a jeweller's brass.
The only difference is, more copper is mixed into the jeweller's brass which gives its standout rosy hue colour.
Both gold filled & rose gold filled are perfect for everyday wear, and are suitable for those with sensitive skin as it won't cause an allergic reaction.
Lastly, both have the same qualities as solid gold jewellery just at a fraction of the cost 😊
Have you ever looked at the price tag of of a handmade product and wondered.. ‘why is it so expensive…?’ Well let me explain why handmade products are worth their price…

A few have asked, “how big are the pendants?”
All our impression kits are weighed the same. The finished pendants are roughly between 10-15mm wide but having said that, you are in complete control on how your finished piece would look like.
As you can see, it all depends on how much pressure is used when pressing down on your mould
Get your timeless look with this stunning initial charm necklace.
You can personalise this initial necklace with your choice of a hand stamped charm (Letters from A-Z) making it a perfect, yet meaningful gift for any special occasion
Both the necklace chain & initial charm are crafted from recycled sterling silver 😍
