Men's Style Essential: Money Clip
There’s been a revival for all things debonair in the world of men’s fashion. Then again, items of the genteel kind, such as tie clips and cuff links, have always been popular. -
Hematite Intaglio
Hematite intaglio…don’t those two words go so eloquently together? They also look pretty amazing together as well. -
Farewell Joel
At Benjamin Black Goldsmiths we had the pleasure of hosting Joel Whitwell as our Artist in Residence, from December 2013 to March 2014. -
Precious Paua Pearls
Paua or blue pearls are, in my humble opinion, one of New Zealand’s most prized possessions. -
Custom Made Urn Stand
There is always emotion attached to any art – and jewellery is no exception. When people commission a piece, we go on a journey of sorts. A relationship forms as I’m invited into their world – and as the design takes form this develops. It’s a pretty special thing. -
A Letter From A Customer
It's not often you receive an actual letter these days (one which isn't a bill anyway). -
Introducing: BRANCHES
Benjamin Black Goldsmiths has just launched a brand new range of contemporary dress jewellery, BRANCHES, designed by 22-year old award-winning jeweller and Artist in Residence, Joel Whitwell. -
Like Clockwork
The ancient craft of watch and clock making has been around for centuries (or even longer perhaps). -
Black Tie Ensemble
Last night I had the pleasure of attending the annual degustation dinner and auction to raise money for the Suter Art Gallery at the Nelson Yacht Club. -
Threepence Coin Ring
I love it when people think outside the square when it comes to jewellery. Especially when it’s a physical expression of the person’s history and design aesthetic.
