Rhys is Turning Eyes Into Icons
Rhys isn’t just designing jewelry—she’s creating connection. Known for her wildly imaginative hand-painted eyeball pieces, Rhys has carved out a space where surreal art meets soulful meaning. From her wearable mini masterpieces to life-sized custom sculptures, every eye she paints is a reflection of our shared humanity—and a celebration of what makes each of us unique.
Her jewelry has become instantly recognizable, seen on style icons like Julia Fox, Leandra Cohen, Charli D'Amelio, and Olivia Rodrigo. These bold humans are drawn to Rhys’ unapologetic style—pieces that make a statement without saying a word. But behind the sparkle and surrealism lies something deeper: the belief that our eyes hold stories, truths, and a kind of magic no two people share.
“Eyes mean so much to me,” says Rhys. “You can tell so much about someone just by looking into their eyes. From the small details to the vibrant colors, no eye is the same—and that’s what inspires me.”
Her passion for eyes has grown beyond jewelry and into the realm of large-scale art installations—eye-popping, whimsical sculptures made to command attention in any space. Whether it’s a massive, custom-painted eyeball floating above a staircase or mounted in a creative office lobby, these surreal installations invite people to pause, connect, and look closer. In today’s fast-paced, tech-heavy world, Rhys creates art that quite literally stares back, challenging us to slow down and reconnect.
“Eye contact feels difficult these days,” she adds. “We’re all glued to screens. I want my work to remind people of that unspoken connection that happens when we actually look at one another.”
Each sculpture is hand-painted and completely customizable—from the iris colour to the frame and stand—making them a one-of-a-kind centerpiece for homes, offices, and gallery walls. Rhys pours love, intention, and vibrant energy into every piece she makes, creating not just art, but conversation starters.
Her work invites you to be present. To embrace your quirks. To see others, and be seen.
So whether you wear one of her tiny, twinkling eyeballs around your neck—or commission a giant sculpture to light up a room—Rhys Kelly’s art reminds us of the magic we carry in our gaze.
