Jens Hansen Contemporary Gold & Silversmith

Jens Hansen Contemporary Gold & Silversmith Review

The skilled craftspeople of the Jens Hansen Contemporary Gold & Silversmith create lovely gold and silver jewelry. Contemporary pieces are handmade at the workshop-showroom, and many are set with precious stones or pounamu (jade) from the West Coast of the South Island. But they may be best known as the jewelers who made the precious "One Ring" used in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy. There's an original prototype on display, and you can order a faithful replica. They will open by appointment outside regular work hours; you can also preview or order merchandise on their website.
