ETHOS
Jane Eppstein's refined jewellery moves between sculptural expression and elegant structure. Designed for the everyday, each New Zealand-made piece is a quietly expressive, infinitely wearable objet d’art.
This sensibility anchors the ready-to-wear collections, while a bespoke service allows individual conversations and ideas to guide a truly collaborative design process between Jane and the wearer.
APPROACH
Jane Eppstein's designs express soulful simplicity through thoughtfully crafted forms, guided by ethical intention.
With a keen understanding of the delicate interplay between aesthetics and functionality, Jane incorporates a variety of design and crafting methods to ensure each piece is beautiful, balanced and comfortable to wear. From the fluid moulding and hand carving of wax to precise CAD modelling, she applies a versatile range of technical skills tailored to the unique demands of each individual piece.
HISTORY
A previous career in investment banking instilled an exacting attention to detail and precision in Jane's design process.
Following this analytical path, she pivoted to explore her creative side, studying Jewellery and Silversmithing at London Metropolitan University. Immersing herself in the industry, Jane worked for two British jewellery designers—an experience that gave her the confidence to refine her technical skills further and establish her own independent studio.
She now resides in Days Bay, Wellington, New Zealand, with her husband and two children.
PRACTICE
Dedicated to sustainability at every step of the production process, we strive to limit waste, use recycled and sustainable materials, and work with ethical precious metals and stones. The Silver, Gold and Gold plate used to create each piece are fabricated from recycled metal and are all sourced from trusted suppliers (almost all in New Zealand) with whom Jane has built lasting and genuine relationships with.
