Grant Thompson, Dean, Faculty of Creative Arts, Manukau Institute of Technology Recently, when dawdling through one of those ‘designer’ stationery stores that now pepper suburban shopping malls, I came across a teal-green gift box decorated with white words: YOU TELL STORIES WITH WORDS. WE TELL STORIES WITH JEWELLERY. The truth in the statement – that jewellers are story tellers – overwhelmed the disposable little box. A piece of jewellery binds the wearer to the maker in a story built of ideas and materials, hands and tools, receiving and giving. The jeweller starts the narrative and the wearing continues the story. The images in this publication present stories made by jewellers. These jewellers, our students, fabricate the everyday and the rare to create unique objects that someone will cherish; that will become the shape of a story in someone’s life. You could make stories like these. Contact us to learn about our programmes and workshops where you too could discover the pleasures of crafting jewellery stories.

About our Jewellery courses
Year 1 – Core jewellery making and design skills including casting and enamelling result in strong confident outcomes and a good foundation for more complex techniques and design skills delivered in Year 2. Year 2 – responding to the broad range of practices from contemporary art based jewellery to fine, fashion and designer/production jewellery, students spend time designing and making work in each of these genres; they participate in a real world experience, working with fashion designers and mounting exhibitions in gallery and shop spaces. Year 3 - The focus of year three is one project, applying all the knowledge and skills from the first two years but now defined by each individual students interests and perspective. Students choose a project that explores the type of jewellery practice (or combination of practices) that they find most engaging with a view to engaging in this area full time once graduated. Year 4 - At the completion of Year 3 you can cross credit into the Bachelor of Creative Arts for a degree qualification focussing on Jewellery.

Royal Jewellery Studio Show
Year 2 (Diploma in Jewellery Manufacture and Design)
Wearable: a group exhibition by jewellery students from Manukau Institute of Technology
We are delighted to be able to present Wearable for the third consecutive year. The brief is for the students to design and make a collection of work to be worn and to sell. It is an opportunity for them to potentially sell their first work and for people to buy some beautiful and original pieces from future New Zealand jewellers. The work will be on display at Royal Jewellery Studio, 486 New North Road, Kingsland from Tuesday 17th until Sunday 29th November. Opening Monday 16 November 6 - 8 pm.

Year 3 (Diploma in Advanced Jewellery Practice)
My range of jewellery is my interpretation of a Korean aesthetic, focused on movement, layering, built and floral forms, and the use of metal (oxidised and unoxidised silver, gold and copper) jade and coral for colour. I used floral forms in every piece, the lotus and peach blossom. In Korea the lotus and peach tree are symbols of the creation of life, property and longevity.
