Hannah

Born in New Zealand and creative since a young age, a career in the design industry was inevitable. Favourite subjects at school were always creatively focused and hobbies included anything crafty. It was during a school holiday program at aged sixteen that I first dabbled in a goldsmithing course, loving the handmade nature of the craft. 

After completing the study of Interior Architecture, I wasn't satisfied with the idea of doing computer based work for my career, this lead to me to rethinking my options and I re-discovering the art of goldsmithing. The tangible nature was far more appealing than being limited to working on a screen. I studied for three years at the world renown Peter Minturn Goldsmith school in Auckland, graduating in 2015 with an advanced diploma in Goldsmithing. From there I honed my craft working for a leading Auckland Jewellers gaining further skills and knowledge of the industry. 

Encouraged by peers and colleagues I set up my own workshop in 2017 - launching my own business. Now with over 10 years in the goldsmithing industry I have a vast portfolio of pieces and am lucky to have many loyal returning clients.

Just as passionate as at sixteen every piece is lovingly handmade or 'Han-made' as I like to say. With a focus on using the best materials  - precious metals, recycled whenever possible for the most sustainable outcome and gemstones bought from local and reputable sources with close supplier relationships to insure they're conflict free.

I love making all sorts of pieces for people - offering ranges of ready made pieces and bespoke creations. Each and every one is special. Reach out if you have any questions, I would love to hear from you. Hannah x
