Our bespoke journey allows clients to create a piece that is original and symbolic, with deep personal meaning. Giovanni alchemically weaves guided truth, intention and design into unique handcrafted talismans, offering support from the unified field so you can wear them with love in a way that’s perfect for you. We work with clients locally and internationally—at our Byron Bay studio or via a video or phone meeting that fits into your schedule, allowing you to be part of the process every step of the way.
Start Your Journey
Guided personally by Giovanni, we treat your heirlooms with reverence—they’re not merely redesigned. We honour their memories, gently salvaging what can be saved to create a talisman fit for your world now and for lifetimes still to come.
Founded in Australia in 1983, LOVE & HATRED is a house of symbolic jewellery where myth, spirit and design meet. Guided by Giovanni D’Ercole, each talisman is handcrafted as a vessel for protection, devotion and identity and created to be lived in, loved and passed on.
Every piece begins with Giovanni’s belief in the mythology of jewellery as powerful talismans of love, hope and passion. In our Byron Bay studio, we work closely with metals and stones, carving and casting by hand so that each design feels protective and alive.
Thank you so much for my beautiful jewellery, they all arrived safely and are magnificent I have been wearing them with so much pleasure over the weekend. Many many thanks.

Hi Gio–just wanted to let you know how much I’m loving both my new rings, but in particular the Eden ring, which I’ve loved for so long – I’ve basically worn it every day since I saw you!

The intricate details, the exquisite craftsmanship, and the way the ruby catches the light—it’s truly mesmerizing. This piece is far more than just jewelry to me. It carries deep meaning, and I’m grateful to have had it made by such a talented and thoughtful artist like you.

Every LOVE & HATRED piece begins as a quiet intention, a symbol of what the heart is longing for. Sketched, shaped and set with devoted care, each jewel is crafted to hold warmth, memory and meaning rather than passing fashion. Worn close in the rhythm of daily life or at life’s great thresholds, these creations invite you to honour who you are, what you love and the path you choose to walk.
