welcome to the atelier...

Ophiuchus is an independent handmade jewellery brand by self-taught Designer Anna Zhijun Xu. Somewhere in the middle between hard & soft, Ophiuchus is sharp-edged armour & gentle tenderness, a meditative practice inspired by ancient stories, myths, symbology & arts. Fluid motion is captured in stasis by cold metal, frozen in mid-movement, protective amulets for modern times. Ophiuchus explores the fine intersection between self-expression and sustainability, adopting a multidisciplinary approach to create ethereal wearables & organic sculptures, staying true to a vision for authenticity through self-expression, inclusivity & constant rebirth. All one-of-one pieces lovingly handmade in the Sydney atelier.

Please treat with care & love! Avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics, creams, lotions, chemicals, makeup, etc. and remove when you are washing hands, showering, exercising & swimming. If your piece is looking dull, polish with a soft cloth (dry or a little water). Occasionally, a polish with some detergent or cleaning alcohol will be okay too. When not wearing, store in a dry area or in your keepsake pouch.

All sales are final. Every piece is uniquely handmade & made-to-order with extreme care and attention, then individually quality checked to ensure your one-of-a-kind piece will last forever. For this reason, I cannot offer refunds for (a) change of mind and/or (b) normal wear-and-tear. If you have questions or concerns, please kindly email with details of your query at ophiuchusatelier@gmail.com.
