She has recently returned to Te Wai Pounamu\/the South Island after 23 years in West Auckland, predominantly in the beautiful bush and sea suburb of Titirangi,\u003c\/span\u003e West Auckland. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe materials she uses in her jewellery include coloured window glass, stone, ceramic (broken china), and sterling silver. All pieces are individually shaped and engraved, using diamond equipment. Judy uses recycled materials as much as possible e.g. the glass works are made from off-cuts sourced from leadlight-glass studios; the ‘pressed’ glass often had a former life in the doors and windows of old villas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe idea of giving materials a new life in another direction appeals – broken china or off-cut glass becoming a personal adornment. \u003cbr\u003eJudy’s family were ‘rock hounds’ and she grew up spending hours looking for agate, petrified wood and pounamu in the rivers and beaches of Te Wai Pounamu, the South Island. Judy finds inspiration in the natural landscape of New Zealand and Pacific designs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in New Zealand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Judy Newton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45354807754943,"sku":"318794","price":260.87,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0355\/4193\/files\/SterlingSilverring-PinkceramicbyJudyNewton1.jpg?v=1773963557","url":"https:\/\/store.aucklandmuseum.com\/en-us\/products\/recycled-ceramic-ring-crown-lynn-by-judy-newton","provider":"Auckland Museum Online Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
