A Memory Made to Last: SARAH & SEBASTIAN’s Elevated Approach to Piercings for Children and Teens

A Memory Made to Last: SARAH & SEBASTIAN’s Elevated Approach to Piercings for Children and Teens

A first piercing marks more than a moment, It becomes a lasting memory. An act of bravery, a spark of identity, a beginning. At SARAH & SEBASTIAN, this rite of passage is met with warmth, precision and uncompromising care.

Piercings take place in our state-of-the-art Piercing Labs, using single-use sterile needles and jewellery crafted in solid 18-karat gold or platinum. These materials are chosen for their purity, comfort and compatibility with sensitive skin.

It’s not simply a service, but a moment shaped by care from beginning to end.

FOR CHILDREN

Now welcoming children aged five and up, SARAH & SEBASTIAN’s Ear Alchemy experience is designed to feel calm, thoughtful and memorable. Each appointment is led by an expert piercer bringing clarity, warmth and a steady hand.

A calm and connected moment — parents are encouraged to stay close, to ask freely, and to share in their child’s excitement.

Prices for our recommended piercing jewellery begin at $260. For our younger clients, slightly larger styles are often the most suitable, offering greater stability for day-to-day movement while supporting safe healing. Our piercing service starts from $45 per ear lobe which includes your sterile saline aftercare spray, complimentary followup appointments and first downsize.

To mark the occasion, each young client receives a Certificate of Achievement, along with their choice of an ocean-inspired sticker — thoughtful mementos to celebrate a moment they’ll remember for years to come.

FOR TEENS

As personal style matures, so too does the piercing experience. For teens, Ear Alchemy offers an introduction to self-expression that is refined, considered and tailored to the individual.

Each appointment is thoughtfully composed and led by a piercer who pairs technical precision with a curatorial eye. Placements and jewellery are selected to suit anatomy, personality and lifestyle, with the same level of detail trusted by our adult clientele.

AFTERCARE 

The Ear Alchemy experience extends beyond the appointment, with dedicated aftercare to support safe and confident healing.

Each client is offered a complimentary follow-up within four to eight weeks. During this appointment, healing is reviewed and the jewellery post professionally downsized.

A clinical-grade Aftercare Guide is provided, with clear, considered steps for comfort and hygiene. Clients also receive a complimentary aftercare mist, developed to soothe and support recovery at home.

Whether it’s a child’s first piercing or a teen’s expression of individuality, Ear Alchemy reflects the standard SARAH & SEBASTIAN is known for. Every detail is shaped by artistry, expertise and care.

SOLDERED: A New Intention

SARAH & SEBASTIAN pioneered the SOLDERED experience in Australia, originating the concept of permanent jewellery through fine craftsmanship, using traditional tools with modern design. Guided by this philosophy, SOLDERED celebrates the union of permanence, sentiment and artistry. Within our architecturally designed spaces, each solid 18-karat gold soldered chain is fitted with precision and sealed in flame, an intimate gesture of connection and design. The ritual is both personal and enduring, transforming jewellery into something lived, lasting and deeply felt. Your browser does not support the video tag. To deepen the experience, we are excited to introduce SOLDERED Stories. Here, every soldered bracelet is a keepsake of memory and meaning, a symbol of the moment or intention it was created to honour. To celebrate the intention of the experience, each client receives a SOLDERED Story Card, an artefact of the moment they were Soldered and a reflection of the meaning behind their piece. Displayed in designer Studio Henry Wilson’s Aluminium Vide Poche, the wearer may choose to inscribe a date, word, or initials. a personal memento of the ritual. Each Story Card represents an intention: Connection, Milestone, Transformation and Legacy. Connection Celebrating love, friendship, and bonds that feel like home.   Milestone Marking what matters, another lap around the sun, a moment that endures.   Transformation Embracing change, a beginning, a shift, a gentle evolution.   Legacy Honouring what lasts, memories, connections and moments carried forward in gold.

Unveiling SARAH & SEBASTIAN’s New Mosman Home

We are proud to celebrate the reopening of our Mosman store on Sydney’s north shore. Reimagined in collaboration with architecture firm Richards Stanisich, the space preserves its original framework while unveiling a more immersive environment. Alongside our fine jewellery collections, the store offers a full suite of services, including bridal consultations, soldered bracelets, and for the first time in Mosman, our signature Ear Alchemy piercing experience. The new design is defined by sepia-green cork and seagrass green glass panelling, natural materials selected for their unique materiality and connection to the ocean. Extending the design language first established by Richards Stanisich in our Armadale flagship, Mosman evolves these defining characteristics into signature motifs that connect the two spaces. The result strikes a balance of domesticity and luxury, transforming the boutiques into intimate sanctuaries that feel both elevated and welcoming, as if inviting clients into our home.   “THE VISION FOR MOSMAN WAS TO CREATE A SPACE THAT FEELS ELEVATED YET HOMELY. MUCH LIKE STEPPING INTO A PRIVATE RESIDENCE, IT ENCOURAGES YOU TO STAY, EXPLORE AND EXPERIENCE THE FULL OFFERINGS OF OUR SERVICES.” —  SARAH & SEBASTIAN Co-Founder and Creative Director, Sarah Gittoes. On the design, interior architect and Richards Stanisich co-founder, Kirsten Stanisich, explains her focus was on creating a refined, immersive atmosphere through natural textures. Sepia-toned cork recalls the gentle drift of ocean kelp, silver gilding shimmers with light, and rippled glass adds depth and movement to the space.  The store unfolds with a sense of discovery. A linear display stretches the length of the interior, presenting our curated seasonal and signature collections, while bespoke details reveal subtle shifts in texture, form, and finish as you move through the space. We invite you to experience the new Mosman store and explore our world of fine jewellery and signature services here.

ONDINE: A Feat of Craftsmanship
Collection

ONDINE: A Feat of Craftsmanship

A masterwork of artistry and meticulous craftsmanship, our new collection Ondine is a meditation on the natural choreography of the sea — a balance of stillness and motion. In the vastness of the ocean, life moves in ritual. Each night, illuminated by moonlight, a silent procession begins. Billions of sea creatures ascend from the abyss, drawn to the surface in search of sustenance. With first light, they retreat to the deep. This daily pulse, known as vertical migration, is the largest movement of life on Earth. A natural choreography of instinct and transformation, it is the rhythm that shaped the ONDINE collection. The collection named after the mythical sea nymph, ONDINE echoes the ocean’s silent momentum. Meticulously crafted in 18-karat yellow gold and platinum, each piece awakens through motion, its presence revealed by shifting light. Intricately woven natural diamonds trace the rise of bioluminescent life, a fleeting shimmer before the return to darkness.   “EACH PIECE AWAKENS THROUGH MOTION, IT’S PRESENCE REVEALED BY SHIFTING LIGHT.” At the centre of the collection lies the Ondine Bracelet, a masterwork of design and refined craftsmanship. More than 108 hours of expert labour and 730 hand-set diamonds are woven into a kinetic lattice that drapes across the wrist like silk armour — moving with the body, catching light in passing, and echoing the ocean’s ephemeral brilliance. Its construction speaks to rare technical skill: precious metal is shaped to flow like fabric while retaining architectural strength. Fluid folds are balanced by geometric precision, as the chequered interplay of 18-karat yellow gold and platinum enriches the silhouette with sculptural depth.   “PRECIOUS METAL IS SHAPED TO FLOW LIKE FABRIC WHILE RETAINING ARCHITECTURAL STRENGTH.”   A specially engineered 6cm spring clasp completes the piece — ensuring security while standing as a bold design statement, emblematic of the structural foundations of the ONDINE collection. Your browser does not support the video tag.   ONDINE embodies movement refined by mastery. Precious metal flows with fluidity, diamonds capture fleeting light, and the ocean’s eternal rhythm is brought to life through craft. In every detail, the collection reflects a considered harmony —  shaped by nature, perfected by artistry. All pieces are handcrafted in our Sydney studio, using 18-karat solid gold and ethically sourced natural diamonds
