Warwick Freeman’s emblematic jewelry pursues meaning. Across five decades the New Zealand jeweller has built a lexicon of signs: from the cultural symbolism of the hook and the star to the heart redrawn in the volcanic scoria of Rangitoto island. When worn, his jewelry communicates something of who we are and how we have lived. Throughout his career Freeman has never tired of exploring what it means to make jewelry in Aotearoa New Zealand.
