The National Jewellery Exhibition opening night at KINA was AMAZING! Thank you to everyone who participated and to everyone who came out to support our first ever jewellery exhibition. This was a change to our regular exhibition style here at Kina - we featured an impressive display of jewellery including necklaces, rings, earrings, brooches and badges.
The KINA Angels canvased the country to find new jewellers to introduce to Taranaki and also asked our local favourites to create pieces for the show.
It was such a great variety of jewellery styles: contemporary, craft, taonga, precious stones and cutting edge body adornment. A jewellery lovers DREAM!
