Our Story

Exclaimed Kate began with Kate herself—a designer frustrated by the lack of jewellery boxes as refined and meaningful as the treasures they were meant to hold. As an interior designer, she understood the power of thoughtful design yet couldn’t find a piece that truly felt considered, personal, and beautiful.

The very first Gold and Rose Quartz Jewellery Box was born from this frustration—a gift Kate asked her husband to design, one that reflected the materials and meaningfulness of the pieces it would hold. That gift became the foundation of Exclaimed Kate.

Guided by this vision, Kate has grown the brand into a collection of elevated gifts designed to be treasured. She believes the joy of giving—and receiving—something truly unique is what transforms a beautiful object into a keepsake.

Each collection balances the precision of machined metal with the natural beauty of hand-finished semi-precious stone, a contrast that has become the signature of Exclaimed Kate’s design language.

Kate partners with makers who share her commitment to ethical craftsmanship and responsible production. Her machining partner, led by a female director in a male-dominated industry, and her global craftsman, who hand-finishes each stone in his family workshop, embody the care and integrity behind every piece. Together, they work intentionally to minimise plastics and reduce waste wherever possible.

Based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Exclaimed Kate creates gifts that are thoughtful, personal, and elevated.
