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.
