Ventifacts are wind-formed wind-blasted stone shards. To me they look like lips: some smiling, some grimacing. Actually, as gemstones they are not strong especially as a ring, so I've cast them in a variety of Japanese alloys: shakudo and shibuichi. These alloys were developed centuries ago and are made up of mainly copper with a small amount of gold (approx 3% - 10%) added to 'ennoble' the copper. The oxide colours now range from pink, blue to dark purple and can change over time.
The Tree Trunk ring is my ring method done appropriately in 18ct gold.

To describe something as golden is to infer its preciousness, I regularly find golden treasures on my daily wanderings. Many are scattered through my workshop and in making I try to capture something of the essence that drew my eye.
With this set the wearer also gets to select which object or combination captures their attention.

The 50 leaves for these brooches have been picked up off the earth.
I've developed several procedure's to try & stabilize them, however from my collection of over 2000, almost all, just revert to brown.
These are the exception.
I've stored these over 5-10 years, so I could check & ensure their tone and texture was going to remain, as you see them.
Unfortunately, the process of stabilizing batches of leaves with multiple periodic assessments
Involved, made it too complex for keeping track of each leaf's original location.......

Little did I know, when I first stepped into Fingers in 1991 and purchased my first piece, that a few years later I would study in the field of contemporary jewellery and dared to dream that maybe one day, my work would end up in this iconic space.
To me, it's still a Wunderkammer, full of surprises, treasures and wonderful humans. The weight of the door has become such a familiar sensation and I still pinch myself seeing my work in the vitrines alongside such amazing company. The people that move in and out of that mighty door have inspired me, mentored, challenged and encouraged me and of course given me purpose to keep doing what I'm doing. I'm ever so grateful, thank you!

When stars collide, elements converge. These pieces delve into the relationship between the elements earth, fire, air, water and spirit through their materials and design. Gold, formed in the intense heat of neutron star collisions, embodies the element of fire and air, connecting with the expansive qualities that have inspired human fascination with this lustrous material throughout history. Accompanying this cosmic force is a unique spherical stone, shaped by water and discovered by a solitary gold prospector, symbolising the fluid nature of water. Hand-carved wood brings in the grounding quality of earth and the spirit of the maker imbues these elements with their intention. This project invites viewers to reflect on the elemental forces that shape our world and to consider whether these cosmic encounters are truly serendipitous.

Puriri has the scientific name Vitex Lucens. It grows to be a large tree particularly in Auckland, Coromandel and the North. The ring features two flowers, a berry, an empty cup and stalks set in relief against a leaf. The Puriri tree flowers and fruits all year-round attracting Kereru and Tui.
I first exhibited my native flower rings in 1976 in Fingers. The first ones were engraved flat (I think Ruth has one). Four of the original rings are in the collection of the Auckland Museum. The native flower ring designs are the result of considerable research; sometimes observing and working directly from plant specimens.

The golden ratio, also known as the divine proportion, is denoted by φ and approximately equals 1.618. This mathematical proportion is found extensively in nature, art, and design. In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. As an architect, I often used it for its aesthetic appeal. These jade pieces represent my first exploration of the golden ratio in wearable art, creating harmonious compositions that embody a timeless principle resonating across cultures and disciplines.
All works hand-carved in mm accuracy according to the golden ratio.
