Adrienne Linney Jewellery
Adrienne has been crafting jewellery for 4 years, after studying at the Learning Connexion School of Creativity and Art. She now works from her studio overlooking the entrance to Te Whanganui a Tara – Wellington Harbour.
She lives on the coast and, like many who live in the Pacific, is passionate about the sea. It’s moods and rhythms shape our lives. The coastline is abundant with treasures from the seashells, driftwood, seaweed and other flotsam – hiding in crevices, tossed onto the beach, strewn on the sand and left by the tide. The beauty in the patterns, forms and textures of the sea’s produce and seek to celebrate that beauty in her work.
All of her jewellery is handmade with a focus on quality and individuality. If your size isn’t available or you would like something commissioned, please contact her and discuss your requirements.

Handmade by Karen
Karen is on a journey to reduce waste, leave a smaller footprint, and live a more minimal life. She loves making things – cooking, fermenting, knitting, crochet, pottery, skincare products, household cleaners, and soap. It’s part of her journey to be kinder to herself and the environment by using fewer chemicals and natural products that produce little to no waste going to landfill. Karen uses everything she sells and loves it all.
All the products used to create the products are sourced from nature. Clays, spices, botanicals, herbs, seaweed, superfoods, coffee, butter, oils, essential oils, and more. Hand created with love and care to nourish skin and care for the largest organ. Without the use of artificial colors, synthetic fragrances, and damaging chemicals. Palm oil-free, as while this provides hardness in soap, it’s destroying the wildlife environment and displacing villagers.
Handmade by Karen is a zero-waste, eco-friendly, and sustainable mindset business. Packaging for soaps sold online is with paper and cardboard, no plastic. Everything is made by hand, with love, in small batches or to order.
Her business also recently featured in the NZ Herald.
