Established in 1974 by a group of young jewellery makers to promote their work, Fingers has become synonymous with innovation and originality, and the development of an indigenous style of contemporary New Zealand jewellery.
Fingers has been at the forefront of treating and displaying the craft object as art, and has constantly challenged the notion of what is precious. Early exhibitions re-interpreting local materials such as bone, stone and paua shell were landmarks in contemporary practice, and Fingers continues to set standards of excellence.
As the oldest contemporary jewellery gallery in New Zealand, Fingers has become an institution recognised locally and internationally, providing a platform for many artist's careers. The core partners who started the Fingers co-operative back in 1974 are still practicing and evolving within their chosen medium and have become iconic figures within the New Zealand contemporary jewellery scene. Fingers has grown over the years and now represents the work of over fifty artists encompassing a diverse range of skills and ideas.
