Jane creates new value for old New Zealand coins, turning them into stylish and contemporary art objects. Crafted elegantly in sterling silver, cufflinks with whole sixpence coins 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.”
