Sandra Schmid

Sandra, an award winning contemporary jewellery artist calls the inspiring and beautiful setting of the Wairarapa her home. Her love for nature and the surrounding clearly shows in her work. Natural elements as well as often recycled silver and gold are made into stunning organic and elegant jewellery.

In addition, her in her artwork she looks into the human urge to belong, which is a basic motivation for the use of jewellery. Sandra explores the sense of belonging and identity in societies informed by multiculturalism and loss of tradition through immigration and change. Loss but also the opportunity to originate new identities are values found in her work.
