FRANCES STACHL JEWELLERY

Made in Aotearoa

Mostly silver. Often oxidised.
Sometimes gold. Occasionally, with organic elements.

Kia ora, I’m Frances. I make jewellery in Whanganui, in my workshop ‘A Place for Hammers’.

Jewellery is how I make sense of things. Each piece begins with a shape, a material, or an idea — sometimes personal, sometimes shared. Some are made in multiples. Others are made just once, as commissions.

You can find my work here in the shop, or in galleries around Aotearoa.

What I’ve made lately

All of my work is made in small numbers. Just a few at a time, depending on what I’m making.

Commission work

From time to time, I work on custom pieces, often using heirloom materials, or shaped by a specific memory or idea.

If you’d like to talk about something, feel free to get in touch.
