Luxury Jewellery Centered Around Kaitiakitanga
Timmy Smith – Wahine Māori Jewellery Designer
Sustainable Luxury | Waiheke Island | Heirloom Pieces Rooted in Kaitiakitanga
From her studio on Waiheke Island, Aotearoa New Zealand, Timmy Smith designs sustainable everyday pieces that serve as a tangible connection to Māori heritage and the natural landscape. Each design is more than adornment. They are an invitation to pause, reflect, and cherish our relationships with people, place, and Papatūānuku.
Inspired by Kaitiakitanga (environmental guardianship), Timmy blends contemporary aesthetics with traditional Māori values. Her innovative collections tell stories of place, purpose, and human connection – using only responsibly sourced sterling silver and 24k electroplated gold to create heirloom-quality jewellery that honours both the wearer and the environment.
Experience the intersection of design, sustainability, and cultural authenticity through Timmy Smith's handcrafted jewellery, a beautiful reminder to live mindfully and stay connected to what matters most.
