Neil Adcock graduated from the Wellington School of Design in 1979. He exhibited some of his early works in the National Art Gallery in Wellington and spent many years as a creative director in advertising.
Four years ago he bought some jewellery making tools, set up a workshop and with a little help from YouTube, taught himself all the skills he needed to make his unique style of jewellery.
He quickly gained a dedicated fan base, Lisa Reihana wore a selection of his works as the artist representing New Zealand at the 57th International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia, Lorde has a piece in her collection and artist Judy Darragh has several in her's. Fingers is very excited to now introduce Neil to our wider audience.
About the New Zealand Amber Neil uses:
This exquisitely rare New Zealand Amber was only recently discovered, found by pure chance far underground at a depth of 150 metres in 2014. Its pristine beauty was first exposed to the world when the machinery a fortunate miner was operating broke down. In his efforts to fix it he observed a miniscule gleam in the raw earth. Upon further investigation he unearthed a small quantity of this unique amber, touched by the outside air for the first time since its formation in the Cretaceous and Tertiary Period 30 to 70 million years ago. Now, for the first time in eons, we can gaze upon and appreciate its unparalleled pure beauty.
Certified in 2016 by the Gemological Institute of America as Amber.
