Rubyteva Design began in the market place of Greece and Israel in the early nineties. Founder, Alex Guest, lived in India and Nepal six months of each year, designing and buying distinctive pieces for the European market. She would then travel to Europe, selling her designs to markets and to retail outlets.
Since returning to her birthplace in Melbourne, Australia in 1998, she has continued to develop unique pieces for the urban fashion markets. Alex now supplies a number of outlets around Australia and New Zealand, including jewellery stores and fashion boutiques. Her inspiration comes from time spent living with the Bedouins in the Sinai Desert, and from the ancient cultures of Morocco, Ethiopia, Tibet and India. Alex's philosophy is to bring exotic and exclusive pieces into the urban market place… “breathing life into stones.”
