Hanne Eriksen Mapp

Professional jeweller born in Denmark and emigrated to Aotearoa New Zealand 1995. Originally a trained ceramicist, lived and studied in California and Japan. Hanne started exploring jewellery making in New Zealand, exhibiting regularly in the Pacific, Europe and the USA.

Hanne aims to make wearable art that contains quality sustainable materials using good design composition. Hanne uses precious metals, silver and gold and hand techniques to set and surround her sustainable precious and semi-precious stones. The stones are chosen to enhance and complement the design composition.

‘My wearable art works are made to last for generations to come with a singular vision.’

Hanne has a studio base in Kapiti where her philosophy is to pass on her jewellery making skills and share the beauty of objects that tell stories.
