SARAH & SEBASTIAN is an independent jewellery practice by Sarah Munro and 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. The designer’s birthplaces, Australia and Germany, led to a collision of inspiration; the natural world with European architecture and art. These themes continue to form the basis on which design inspirations emerge, like the ocean, which is a driving force for the label’s social and environmental values. The co-founders have long championed local manufacturing, working with likeminded suppliers and operating a made-to-order model and repair workshop to reduce waste. SARAH & SEBASTIAN have stores in Sydney and Melbourne, collaborating with various leading architects to create unexpected spaces from unique perspectives. In a new chapter, the label introduced Services in 2021, with stores becoming destinations for piercing, Soldered bracelets and engagement appointments. Since its launch, SARAH & SEBASTIAN has been supported by publications including Vogue, Marie Claire, Harper’s Bazaar, GQ and Elle. Stockists worldwide include Net-a-Porter, Lane Crawford, Joyce and David Jones.
