Kia ora

A couple of months ago on Instagram I asked what you guys wanted to see in my next collection.
There was an overwhelming response for lower priced rings (gold is expensive these days, I know!) So I listened and have made a small collection of mixed metal rings in silver and gold.
They are silver pieces with the stones accented in gold, in all my usual New Zealand gemstones (Carnelian from the Coromandel region, West Coast Pounamu, Agate from Canterbury and even a piece of Agate from Otago). You'll see a sneak peak at some of the treasures in the photo above.

And a couple of all gold rings in there too, for good measure.
The second vote was of course, some Roimata earrings.

So this is a nice little mixed collection of both.
Small, intentional and high quality limited collection pieces, investment pieces, one of a kind pieces, ceremonial pieces, hand made to be handed down through generations.
Just because the rings are 'lower in price' it certainly doesn't mean they are any less precious!

You know the drill, all my stones are from Aotearoa New Zealand and cut by me.  All the metal work is also done by me here in my Waikato studio. 

Below is a snap shot from my phone of my Roimata earrings sitting on my dining table this morning before I was about to start photographing them glowing brightly in the sunlight.

I am just about finished them so here are the details about the release.

• My releases do often sell out, sometimes within 10 minutes and sometimes in 24 hours so it's always handy to be quick if you do want something because I never know how it's going to go.

Let me know if you have any questions, I am most happy to help.
