A Refined Punk Spirituality: Ashleigh McCulloch’s Bronze And Silver Jewelry That Speak For The Wearer

Monastery Jewellery is a handmade jewelry brand created by Ashleigh McCulloch, operating from studios in Amsterdam and Johannesburg. The pieces fuse ancient, mythic forms with punk edge—heavy, raw, and deliberately austere.

McCulloch crafts heirloom-quality items using lost-wax casting and traditional metalsmithing in sterling silver, gold, and bronze. Each piece is unique, designed to “speak loudly in the quiet” through weight, strange shapes, and audible clank. Drawing from asceticism and hermeticism, her work celebrates discipline and devotion amid modern chaos.

Collections feature signet rings (e.g., Roman-inspired with jade), vestiges necklaces (Victorian keys), and statement cuffs—all handmade per order (up to 4 weeks) with recycled metals.
