Study in Refinement

A photo of little Brit already layered in jewellery.
That’s really where Refined by M began.
Founded by Brit Maddock, a Paediatric Emergency Registered Nurse with an eye for detail and a lifelong love for anything gold and glowy, Refined by M was born from a need for something slower, softer, and more creative than the chaos of emergency shift work.
What started with a simple soldering class and my first handmade ring quickly became,
“Wait… where did you buy that from?”
And now, here we are. A one woman brand built between night shifts, iced lattes, and a passion that refused to stay a hobby.
Why gold-filled? Because I’m the girl who showers, swims, sleeps and lives in her jewellery.
Anything that turned green, snapped, or tarnished ended up in the bin and I was over it.
Every piece I make is crafted with intention using 14k and 18k gold-filled materials and Australian-sourced pearls, chosen for their durability, softness, and quiet luxury. Gold filled feels like solid gold without the solid-gold price tag. Tarnish resistant, long-lasting, and designed to move with you through every season of life.
Refined by M is a blend of timeless staples and slow-fashion moments.
Jewellery that feels personal. Warm. Considered. Inspired by golden hour light, coastal textures, and the ease of everyday rituals.
Pieces that elevate without trying too hard.
Pieces that are meant to be worn, layered, and loved for years - not seasons.
Every piece is made by me, for you.
Every collection, a nod to little Brit.
The girl who always knew gold was her love language.
Love,
Refined By M xoxo
