Per Ardua

Per Ardua is a Jewellery practice that is underpinned by an ethos of assigning permanence through a dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and materiality. Defined by a minimalist yet sculptural aesthetic, the pieces are gender-neutral, designed for everyday wear. Designer and Maker - Devon McIntyre is a multidisciplinary designer based in Auckland, New Zealand working in both Jewellery and Spatial Design. The notions of quality, timelessness, and consideration for materiality and detail are deeply ingrained within her work. Each piece is individually handmade to order using recycled gold or silver. The fluid and sculptural forms are synonymous with being created by hand and are meticulously smoothed and refined to fit comfortably to the body. No two pieces are exactly the same but always remain true to the design intent. Production time is typically 4 weeks but if you require a piece sooner, please get in touch. The made-to-order model minimises waste and embraces the process of considered and meaningful design.
