Welcome to Madame Mak Jewellery!

Hello, and welcome! I'm Dahna Mak, your sparkle creator and wax carving jewellery making educator from Melbourne, Australia! 💖🇦🇺 I've been entranced and besotted by the shimmer of jewels and gemstones since childhood. Fast forward to 2020, I flipped the desk as research scientist to chase my childhood dream - I launched Madame Mak Jewellery on a whim, without a solid plan!

My jewellery collection embodies a mix of playful, eclectic jewels. Some are ready to ship one-of-a-kind designs, and a selection of my designs can be made to order in your size and metal of preference. I also delight in bespoke and custom jewellery work for my clients.

I am ALMOST READY TO LAUNCH a very comprehensive online jewellery school, in the form of two separate courses (one for wax carving, and the second for metal polishing and gem setting). It's coming in HOT! ✨🎁

I am forever grateful for the love and support I have received on this soul-shaking journey, and have been blessed to meet so many wonderful people.

A huge heartfelt thanks to my former students in Melbourne and abroad (and Zoom rooms), who have filled my studio with warmth and wonderful stories.

Subscribe to my emails to stay tuned for the jewellery school launch! 💕✨

Much love,
Dahna Mak 💖

Madame Mak's Online Jewellery School (Launching Tuesday 17th March 2026, 10am Melbourne)!

Madame Mak's online jewellery school is launching this Tuesday 17th March 2026, 10am Melbourne!

The time is near, and there is light at the end of the tunnel. My extremely comprehensive jewellery courses which I've poured my soul and every ounce of energy into for the last 18 months will be launching VERY soon (17th March 2026).

Join me for a two year wax carving immersive course, which covers everything you need to know for complete beginners, with progression to intermediate and more advanced techniques. I share the fundamentals of carving into hard jewellers wax (tubes and slices), and then show you how to build designs using melted carving wax (and also a fusion of both techniques)!

Curious about what happens after a piece of jewellery has been cast? Join me for a two year metal polishing and gemstone setting course, where you'll learn how to polish basic stacking rings, textured stacking rings, and how to polish and set a series of gemstone rings. I'll be demonstrating how to polish and/or set five different styles of rings.

Perhaps you fancy a full spectrum from wax to polishing to gem setting. I've got you covered with a bundle of both courses (and a cheeky discount)!

Start saving and STAY TUNED!

    "The best decision I made was reaching out to Madame Mak Jewellery. This talented boss babe is a wealth of knowledge and support. Her courses are second to none! What started out as a beginner’s class turned into completing all available courses. Dahna is truly one of a kind and has absolutely become a most valued friend and confidante.

    I love to continue learning and have taken quite a few courses over the years

    "I can’t thank you enough for the class yesterday and suffice to say I have been at the bench practicing ever since. I went and got a little soldering iron as soon as we finished up yesterday – wow what a game-changer for me! Totally blown away by the manual content – so comprehensive and full of all the info you could ever wish for. So happy to have found and met you. I can see a beautiful smithing/waxing/all things jewellery friendship on the horizon. Thanks so much, darling!"

    -Kerryn D, "Wildsmithing"

    Dahna's wax ring making jewellery course was the best thing I’ve ever done!

    "I took on the Introductory Lost Wax Ring Carving Workshop. Dahna took me step-by-step thoroughly through absolutely everything that involved getting the ring to its final stage. From the different kinds of wax, how to saw and carve to all the types of equipment necessary to use on wax. Everything was clear and easy to understand, and Dahna is wonderful. She’s so down to earth, hilarious, and makes the best food!!!! And so clever. She’s got tips and tricks you’ll use for a lifetime."
