David Neale was born in 1977 and grew up in the Goldfields region of Victoria, Australia.
He made his first item of jewellery at age 15, for a girl he liked, and has been making jewellery for the 20-odd years since then.
His style delights in the expressive potential of metal work, and has been shaped by his rural upbringing and love of ethnography.
Neale’s work can be found in several public collections, and is also worn by many of Australia’s most respected jewellers.
