OUR STORY

SARAH & SEBASTIAN is an independent fine jewellery practice by SARAH Munro & Robert SEBASTIAN Grynkofki, designers who live and work in Sydney, Australia. In the pursuit of conceptual design merged with innovative craftsmanship, they established their eponymous label in 2012, and today work alongside a diverse team with multidisciplinary talents in our light-filled creative studio in Alexandria.

Our SARAH & SEBASTIAN stores are elegant spaces, designed by leading Australian architects to reflect the unique vision of our brand in locations around Australia.

We are a close-knit team who actively pursue creativity & innovation, rebelling against the conventions that define traditional jewellery.

Our people are at the core of everything we do, with diverse backgrounds, ideas & experience, all focused on our shared vision. As a young, high-growth company, we are nimble in our approach and believe that collaboration must be fostered and opportunities embraced.

We would love you to be part of our journey.
