The JEWELLERS' COLLECTIVE
Jewellery moves and conveys our emotions. It can express who we are by the jewellery we make. Jewellery translates & retells our stories by sharing a common bond between the maker and the receiver. Our jewellery becomes the storyteller.
The voice & spirit of the Minturn way in jewellery is to act with integrity; our actions reflect & maintain our long held reputation.
Our mission and purpose promotes our core values in jewellery making as an intrinsic quality that builds and contributes to our culture in Aotearoa New Zealand. Harnessing an approach that supports concepts of The Jewellers' Collective; impact, cooperation, collaboration, connection, openness. The aim is to provide an opportunity to artisans and craft-makers who have a passion to make things by hand & using technology. Sharing techniques, tools, facilities, networks and practices.
Chris & Lee Minturn are inspired & excited to bring their idea of a jewellers' collective to life with passion & commitment, critical elements necessary for its success.
