My Story
Hi there! I’m Ruth, the heart behind I Dream of Silver.
Originally from the UK, I now call the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia home. Before settling here, I was lucky enough to live and work in vibrant cities like Hong Kong, New York, London, and Singapore. (Yes, I do love travelling!)
My love affair with jewellery started early. As a child, Saturday mornings were spent on my mum’s bed with my sisters, giggling and trying on her stunning 1950s costume jewellery. Those moments planted the seed of my passion for beautiful, unique pieces.
Fast forward to my adult life, and while some people collect shoes, I’ve always been drawn to jewellery. Not high-end diamonds, but delicate, pretty pieces that catch your eye and make you feel a little bit special when you wear them. During my years in corporate marketing, jewellery was my go-to treat. They made me feel special, and I loved how they added that little something extra to whatever I was wearing.
The idea for I Dream of Silver came to me during a Sydney gift fair expo. Surrounded by gorgeous jewellery, I had a lightbulb moment: why not combine my marketing background and love for jewellery to create an online business? Of course, it wasn’t as simple as that. My marketing expertise was mostly in print and TV, so I had a lot to learn about the online world.
Now, a few years (and a steep learning curve) later, I Dream of Silver has become a growing online destination for stylish, delicate jewellery. Based in Sydney, we’re a small, female-led business that’s passionate about helping women find pieces they love—jewellery that adds a touch of elegance and makes them feel confident every day.
Whether you’re looking for a dainty necklace or pair of earrings, I’m here to help you discover your next favourite piece.
Thank you for being part of my journey. I can’t wait to see where it takes us next!
