not very nana - repurposed, recycled, handmade artisan craft jewelry

My name is Lyn Packer and I 'm a New Zealander, a Kiwi, born and raised here in New Zealand. I currently live in Auckland but spend time each year travelling either here in New Zealand or overseas gaining inspiration.

My jewelry reflects my down to earth Kiwi DIY roots, using and reusing, recycling and repurposing objects from everyday life and incorporating them in my pieces. I love that I can breathe new life into old and cast off objects creating something that people love to wear.

While my jewellery is not meant to be precious or heirloom in quality I have found that it often becomes a favourite piece of jewellery of those who buy it. The pieces appeal equally to young and old, and to those who have a unique sense of style. They are also favoured by people who are passionate about reusing, repurposing and recycling objects. A lot of my jewellery is androgynous in look and can be worn by both women and men.
