Lucia Araoz
Originally from Tucumán, Argentina, Lucia has lived in New Zealand for over 20 years. Her jewellery is inspired by the stark beauty of Central Otago and shaped by traditional metalsmithing techniques learned under jeweller David McLeod.
Working slowly and deliberately with gold and silver, Lucia creates elegant, handcrafted pieces that highlight natural form and individuality. Each design is unique, rooted in heritage and shaped by hand.
