XIMENA FERRE. THIS IS WHY

Never very good at following conventions, I built Ximena Ferre for those searching for something different because I believe jewellery should be unique and personal to its wearer, and also, made to last. Each piece is sustainably hand-constructed in my Auckland studio.

Versatile, special, and a one off piece that is all the more special for having known Ximena and seen her develop as an artist and creator of beautiful things over many years.'

I’m not one for mass produced jewellery - and as I’m not a millionaire either...don’t own a lot of jewellery! What I do own are pieces that I’ve been fortunate enough to have been gifted, or acquired during my travels- mostly handmade, or pieces made by local artisans. Ximena is a talented creative, and takes an immense amount of pride in her work - in each and every single piece she crafts. We have many talented jewellers in NZ, and Ximena is certainly one of them!'
