The largest collection of contemporary New Zealand jewellery will be on display at Auckland Art Gallery from 18 July to 1 November 2015.
Wunderruma: New Zealand Jewellery is curated by two of New Zealand's most prominent jewellers, Karl Fritsch and Warwick Freeman.
The exhibition shows treasures the curators found in their exploration of adornment in Aoteaora New Zealand. It includes works from more than 75 contemporary artists, as well as Maori taonga (treasure) and Pacific and historical jewellery.
Objects made from stone, wood, bone and precious metals sit alongside less traditional works such as a necklace made out of cigarette butts, a motorbike helmet decorated with Maori pattern, a brooch made from a kingfisher bird and a sheepskin necklace.
The inclusion of artworks by artists Colin McCahon, Len Lye, Michael Parekowhai and Rohan Wealleans, also extends the traditional notions of jewellery.
