The Story of Monjier

About Us

Monjier is a jeweller based in Auckland, New Zealand.  We specialize in hand-made and custom-made jewellery, produced and designed inhouse, and although Monjier was established in November 2020, our roots begin in 2016 with big dreams and big aspirations.  Monjier originally produced copper rings, of which most were lost to time, or somewhere out in the paddocks of a family farm; but some were kept.  We still hold original works in our vaults: which serve as reminders of how we started and where Monjier has come from.  We call these ‘origin’ rings because they are intertwined with the origins of our story; a story of journey, filled with trials, determination, and a want to help.  Jewellery means ‘more’ than metal; it is a medium for us to help people – and that has always been our drive.  We are New Zealand owned and operated.  People are what drives us.  We believe in Love for what we do and the people we help; having and being better for those around us; having wholeness in pursuit of perfection; communication with our people; appreciating what people do, and showing trust when people need it the most.

 

Our Story

In 2020 Trance had taken up jewellery as a hobby.  It came about through the need for a creative outlet, driven by the need to make things.  After acquiring hand tools, an obsession with craftsmanship grew and Trance became focused on skill and craftmanship.  In 2022, it was time to pursue jewellery in its entirety.  Monjier became purpose; there was a need to move away from the corporate world and towards something worth dedicating one’s life and energy to.  Monjier grew.  At last, there was a purpose to be had, and a duty to be fulfilled.

 

Our mission statement is Unity through the spirit of Perfection and Self.  Representation of wholeness, the self, through development of the inner being and inner spirit.  The spirit of perfection encompassed within all that is well, and all that is great.

 

Below are our core values, which are the closest, and most meaningful values to us here at Monjier.

Love is being a good person.  

Have Better, Be Better.  Want for better; push to achieve.

Wholeness and Perfection: live with wholeness; aim for perfection.  

Communication is an expectation.

Appreciation is celebrated.  

Trust is required.  

 

My Letter To You 

Dear Friend,
Before I answer your questions, I want to thank you for your support and for taking the time to discover what Monjier is and what it means to me.  I would like to hope that you've had the chance to experience our absolute dedication to you, and if not, please ensure you start your jewellery journey and get yourself a Monjier piece, now.
The most common thing I am asked is, what does Monjier mean?  Monjier is not a company.  It's an idea; an idea which was born from the stars, blessed by the heavens, and gifted to humanity.  So, then, you're probably thinking, what makes Monjier different?  I have often believed that a person should always do their best to become a better person.  For millennia humanity has looked to the stars and the heavens for inspiration, guidance, and wisdom.  I believe Monjier embodies these aspects, and it is our responsibility to ensure that all our people and supporters are inspired, guided, and learned.  I hope you have felt this embodiment, too.
When I started Monjier, it was as much a journey for me, as a purpose.  From the humblest of beginnings of starting Monjier in my bedroom, to growing as the most trusted and empowering jeweller, it is an honour I cannot claim without celebrating the hard work and dedication that all our people and supporters, like you, have provided over the years. 
If you haven't already, start your collection of Monjier Jewellery now and experience unity through the spirit of perfection and self.
Thank you for all of your support.
- Trance K
