Our Journey
Embella is a unique jewellery and design business; born seven years ago when Sally Rogers-Willsher met her husband Ross, while travelling and exploring the festival and market scene in Victoria.
Sally Rogers-Wilsher makes stunning handcrafted jewellery. She also designs exclusive leather goods and clothing. Sally's been showcasing her unique jewellery designs at markets and festivals for the past 18 years. For the past seven years Sally and husband Ross have been travelling all over Australia selling Embella's unique range of wares always returning to the Territory to coincide with the start of the dry season. You might have seen her gorgeous range of jewellery last time you took a wander through the Mindil Beach Markets or Saturday's bustling markets at Parap, where they have a stall week in, week out.
Originally from Warrnambool in southwest Victoria, Sally began making jewellery from the age of seven, selling it at her father's newsagency. Nowadays, the couple have made the decision to settle in Darwin due to their love of the tropical weather and the laid-back lifestyle. Currently Sally and Ross are working on bringing quality products to town - not just jewellery. Many of the products they have to offer come from talented friends and designers they have met on their travels. Everything from clothing, bags and belts, artwork, and local natural skin care company - Natural Wonders (which gives the shops that amazing smell.) Embella doubles as a workshop for Sally who creates her unique jewellery there. Sally sources her stones from around the globe and only uses quality silver carefully chosen by herself throughout her designs. Like their decision to make Darwin home, Embella feels just right, calm and serene. And like the jewellery Sally and Ross create the business is unique and interesting... like Ross and Sally.
