Jewellery – a Passion...
Juerg works from his studio overlooking the glacial Lake Wakatipu near Queenstown, high in
the Southern Alps of New Zealand. The gold he uses is from New Zealand goldfields, alloyed
or in pure alluvial form. Platinum, diamonds and gemstones are sourced worldwide to match
his work’s international appeal.
Juerg says: “I feel fortunate to create jewellery. Working in my studio is a passion for me, as
much as it is a vocation. This passion is translated into my work and becomes a part of the
jewellery. “With one-off exclusive pieces, there is a personal reward in the design process.
And to see the joy people get from receiving something specially made for them - that is my
inspiration! My style is not restricted to particular designs although in every piece I strive for
the attractive elegance I love. “I produce all my work through the medium of traditional gold-
smithing techniques, principles which I believe will never date.”
...and Compassion
A percentage of all sales is donated to an Aid Project which aims to create better opportunities
for children in rural Bolivia.
