Helpful Tips for finding accommodation in Australia

RB Studio
A jewellery brand by Diploma of Business student; Rocio Berengua
“My business was inspired by a lifelong love for the ocean and a passion for creating jewellery that captures its beauty and serenity. I wanted to design pieces that are not only elegant and timeless but also practical for everyday wear—hypoallergenic, waterproof, and gold-plated.
Handcrafting each item allows me to infuse care and quality into every piece. My goal is to provide jewellery that connects people to nature, complements their style, and lasts through all of life’s adventures.”
