Tiki/Queen reversable black and white earrings:
 Made from NZ half pennies, recycled copper wire, sterling silver wire, sterling silver butterfly catches and enamel metal paint.

Jane creates new value for old New Zealand coins, turning them into stylish and contemporary art objects. Crafted elegantly in sterling silver, earrings with whole or hand-cut halfpennies dating from the 1940’s to the 1960’s are proving a popular gift for baby boomers of similar vintage.

"I love to take old things and turn them into something else. I collect lots of things, like shells from the beach, coins or old jewellery from flea markets, but usually don’t know what I’ll make them into until much later.”
