Debra Fallowfield is a contemporary jeweller-not only in the sense of her amazing design, but also in her approach to her work. A graphic artist originally she trained as a jeweller in Sydney and London with some of these cities finest crafts people, until returning home to New Zealand in 1997. Although nearer art than jewellery she believes her work is to be worn ,adored and adorned-not locked away in a glass case.

"Rings are my forte", she says with a smile." I love working with solid heavy gold and silver, yet giving the metal a smooth lustrous, sensual finish"
