UbyKate Blog

My love of chunky “feature jewellery” started young and while the first 10 years of Uberkate have been dedicated to the personalised and heirloom I am now in a position to share my love of stones with you all…

Father's Day is just around the corner, but fear not you guys - we have you covered. We are taking 20% off all of our men's jewellery for orders placed up until final orders on the 29th August AND your special gift for dad will be delivered in time for Father's Day.

Mother’s Day – a day we celebrate our own mothers, being mothers, those special non biological “mothers” to our children.., otherwise known as the tribe of “aunty’s” who guide them through life.

At Uberkate, we’re all about the spirit of relationships, connecting families, friends and loved ones through personalised handmade jewellery.

I am not a stalker… I just felt the need to state that at the beginning of this post. When we sat down recently to plan for Mother’s Day we decided we wanted to create some beautiful new images to share with you guys.

For more than 14 years we have been hand making and custom engraving our Ubercircles. Our signature set of small / medium and large/ circles with custom made clip are worn and loved the world over and I’m constantly thrilled by seeing photos of the places our necklaces being worn, gifted and loved.

I’m not what you would call an ethereal person. I’d really like to be.. and I often think I can appear to be. But the truth is I am more like a swan who appears to be gliding on water, and meanwhile their feet are going a million miles an hour under the water to keep them gliding along!

Being pregnant is such a wonderful time, but for many women, it’s also a time where insecurity raises it’s head.

I think we are all “sisters” as women. Though we may not be genetically related to each other, I believe that there is a bond between women of all backgrounds, races and genetic pools that is almost on a molecular level.

I felt really emotional during my recent work trip to Honkers (the inner poet in me even made an appearance!)

As beings who have lived on this planet for such a long time now, I truly believe we each have a responsibility to pass our gifts and our learned skills on to our children.

Once upon a time a pair of sisters in their late 20’s went on a beach side holiday together. The older sister asked the younger sister to help her choose a new swimming costume and alas she thought at the ripe old age of 28 that she should be looking at a one piece.

We were thrilled to team up with gorgeous Julia from The Vista on this stunning ‘Wanderlust’ campaign.

For years many of you have been asking me to add “bling” to our designs… and I have worked tirelessly with our stone cutters and jewellers to bring you a limited Edition Diamond Ubercircle just in time for Christmas.

Over the years I’ve taken many a phone call from people looking for a last minute gift. I’ve gotta say, 95 per cent of them are calls from men. Many of us mere males can’t get our act together when that special occasion is looming. So to help the ladies, to help the men, to help themselves… I invented a...

Our photographer Sonia from @lifelovehiccups shared her fav place in the world with us. We had to hike through some incredibly gorgeous bushland to get there where the sunlight was dappled and we could all feel the magic from the minute we arrived.

I hand wrote him this little love letter and the Uberkate workshop engraved it into sterling silver plate. After witnessing Mr Uber’s beautiful reaction I just knew this was something we needed to be able to offer to all of you too.

Bali is an assault on all senses… the food is some of the best anywhere in the world (in my opinion) and the skill of the Balinese artists blows me away every time I am there.
