The internal diameter of the jump ring is 5mm, ready to fit on a variety of chains.

Manuela Igreja is a Melbourne based jeweller. After moving to Australia from Portugal, she began to explore the diverse landscapes and fell in love with the local flora and fauna. With a background in mathematics and origami, it seemed a natural progression to explore the geometry and textures that surround us in her organic jewellery collection.
Manuela divides her time between exploring the land to collect botanical elements, and working in her studio to create unique and remarkable jewels. Wearing one of Manuela's creations is having a little piece of Australian nature inspired by the vibrant creative culture of Melbourne.
