OLIVIA DRYDEN JEWELLERY – ADELAIDE EXPO RECAP & MELBOURNE NEXT!
The Adelaide Oddities & Curiosities Expo has just wrapped up, and I’m still buzzing. This year’s event was one of my biggest yet, and I’m genuinely blown away by the response to my handmade jewellery and macabre-inspired designs. Thank you to everyone who visited my booth, supported my small business, and connected with the darker, stranger side of my work.
So many pieces completely sold out that I’m now back in the studio, restocking favourites and creating new designs for the Melbourne Oddities & Curiosities Expo happening this weekend.
ADELAIDE ODDITIES & CURIOSITIES EXPO – A HUGE SUCCESS
Adelaide, you absolutely showed up. The support for artisan jewellery, bone jewellery, framed bird wing art, and my range of alternative jewellery was incredible. The expo attracted collectors, curiosity enthusiasts, and lovers of gothic and unusual jewellery, making it the perfect space to showcase the darker aesthetic that defines Olivia Dryden Jewellery.
Every conversation, every customer, and every piece that found a new home means the world to me. Your enthusiasm fuels the slow, intentional craftsmanship behind every item I create here in Adelaide.
MELBOURNE EXPO – THIS WEEKEND
I’m thrilled to be heading to Melbourne next, bringing a fully refreshed selection of:
Re-stocked best-sellers that sold out in Adelaide
Brand new handmade jewellery created this week
Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches & key rings
New Human Teeth range (which had sold out in Adelaide)
One-of-a-kind curios & limited-run designs
Expo-exclusive pieces you won’t find online
Each piece is handcrafted in South Australia, blending natural elements with a dark, botanical and sometimes macabre twist. If you're into unique jewellery, alternative fashion, or curiosity-themed art, you’ll feel right at home.
WHY THE ODDITIES & CURIOSITIES EXPO MATTERS
This event is more than a market, it’s a creative community that celebrates the offbeat, the unusual, and the beautifully strange. For artists who create dark art, curiosity-inspired jewellery and handmade oddities, it’s one of the best places in Australia to connect with people who appreciate unconventional craftsmanship.
It’s where makers, collectors and lovers of the weird gather, and it’s the perfect home for the kind of work I create.
MELBOURNE, I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU
If you're visiting the Melbourne Oddities & Curiosities Expo, come say hello! I’ll have:
Exclusive expo-only designs
Special show pricing
A chance to chat in person and see the craftsmanship behind every piece
Whether you're a collector of the strange, a fan of gothic jewellery, or simply love supporting independent Australian makers, I’d love to meet you.
Stay strange 🖤
Olivia
