Diane Connal Jewellery
Kapiti jewellery designer specialising in bespoke handmade jewellery
Handmade Jewellery
I'm Diane Connal, a Kapiti based jewellery designer and sometime painter. Creating excites me and feeds my soul. My work is all about connections.
Natural/found objects play a major role in my jewellery which includes earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets. I get a lot of joy from the process of taking an object - beach glass, stone etc and placing them alongside metal and turning it into something unique. I love doing this in many of my designs. And colour! Love a bit of colour. Please, wander through these pages and enjoy.
Handmade jewellery that endures.
2020 Collections
Earrings
Earrings are just one of those pieces of jewellery that I love making and wearing. I love the movement they create. All my earrings have sterling silver hooks or gold if ordered. There are many gorgeous designs in this collection including my iconic Poppy range .Like all handmade jewellery, no two pieces are ever the same. They are all made with love.
Necklaces and Bracelets
Colour and found objects both play a role in my designs and I like the play of the colour alongside the silver. The necklaces that have drops can have more or less drops on it and if you like, you can choose your colour. Unique handmade contemporary jewellery by New Zealand jeweller Diane Connal.
Memory Jewellery
I specialize in designing jewellery pieces from special objects that you treasure. They are often china, from a child or a loved one, liveing or passed. Or made as a memento. Chat with me to discuss any ideas you may have.
Original Jewellery Designs
The jewellery here all on off pieces. As I use found objects often in my jewellery designs, I am not able to reproduce them so they a special pieces to me.
Finger Rings and Brooches
I love working with found objects and grey stone is one of my favourites. They are great to work, and they are great to wear. They warm on your skin.
Brooches are always popular and are a great way to bling up a jacket, coat or scarf. Practible and beautiful.
Paintings
Painting has become a part of my art practice over the last few years. I work in acrylic, sometimes on canvas, sometimes on beach wood or paper. I love interpreting my landscape in my own unquie way of mixing it up with figures and abstract design.
