Ina Barry has established herself amongst Melbourne's gold and silver smithing fraternity, not only for her stunning designs, but for the fact that she was able to create her own retail forum. Many jewellers thought that it was a gutsy thing to do. For Ina it just seemed a natural, logical step.
Her style having been described as 'Elizabethan jewels meets motor-cycle Chic' Ina's jewellery has many influences ranging from Victoriana and Baroque art to Batman's weapons and the chrome headlights on old cars.Her jewellery also contains a strong Latvian influence, not necessarily in its style but in its empowering symbolism.

This diamond engagement ring was inspired by the ring Mickey Rooney gave to Lana Turner when they were engaged. The central emerald cut champagne diamond is 2.4ct, the 8 surrounding brilliant cuts are 30pts each, set in 18ct rose gold. The sparkle is blinding! Very pretty classic flower pattern ring with an Ina twist this one in 18ct rose gold set with 70pt oval diamond E-F SI and 3.5mm round brilliant cut diamonds.
One of the great pleasures of Ina's work is spending time with clients, collaborating to create exactly what they are after in a piece of jewellery. Sometimes it involves sourcing a particular gem or pearl, sometimes using symbols that are important to the client, sometimes re-using stones and metal from their old pieces that have some emotional significance.
If you would like one of Ina's pieces but with a modification, say a special stone, or some slight change, we might be able to easily finalise your order by email or on the phone. But if you are after something truly unique it's best to make an appointment to come and see Ina so the design can be worked out together.

I have recently purchased a ring from Ina and am a returning customer. Her detail and craft is elite. Her knowledge of metals and stones (gems) is equally so. Allowing us to design a ring that suits our preferences was easy, professional and above all, the end result is magnificent. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone. Thank you Ina.

I have had my Ina Barry signature Tourmaline ring for 7 years now. I still get compliments every week. It is unique and elegant. Every time I look at it I am reminded of the special story behind my partner getting it for me. Ina is especially talented at combining stunning stones and colours beyond my meek and mild imagination. I can't wait to get my next piece.
