Thank You

Thank you for helping us support artists, craftspeople, makers and designers in Aotearoa. Your order has been processed, you’ll receive an email with confirmation and order details.

Jorunn Veiteberg has been wearing jewellery with a passion ever since she was a teenager. Covering nearly fifty years, her collection contains some 550 items, including work by 210 jewellery artists from thirty different countries, some by unknown craftspeople, some even mass-produced. Conventional forms live side by side with experimental objects, and political statements mingle with humorous asides. It is this collection that makes up The Jewellery Box. The book deals with how Veiteberg became a collector, why she focused on art jewellery, and what it can do for us. It’s a personal story, but at the same time the volume is a contribution to the recent history of crafts, one which expands our understanding of jewellery.

The Jewellery Box includes work by Aotearoa makers: Macarena Bernal, Renee Bevan, Becky Bliss, Kobi Bosshard, Warwick Freeman, Karl Fritsch, Shelley Norton, Moniek Schrijer and Lisa Walker
