Who Am I
“Creating moments that connect people to place and each other - grounded in Kaitiakitanga”
From her studio on Waiheke Island, Aotearoa New Zealand, master jeweller Timmy Smith crafts sustainable luxury pieces that are not just for adornment. Each creation serves as a tangible connection to New Zealand's rich Māori heritage and natural landscape. Drawing inspiration from the Māori principle of Kaitiakitanga (environmental guardianship), Timmy's collections reflect her deep commitment to connection, craftsmanship and environmental stewardship. Her innovative designs seamlessly blend contemporary aesthetics with traditional values, creating meaningful pieces that inspire mindfulness and connection. Through her signature collections Timmy invites wearers to pause and reflect, with each piece telling its own story of place, purpose, and human connection. Working exclusively with responsibly sourced sterling silver and 24k electroplated gold, she creates heirloom-quality jewellery that honours both the wearer and the environment. Experience the intersection of luxury, sustainability, and cultural authenticity through Timmy Smith's handcrafted fine jewellery - where each piece serves as a beautiful reminder to cherish our connections to people, place, and nature.
