The Jeweller's Mark: The Jens Hansen Workshop Story

In 2000, just a year after our father's death, the Bishop Suter Art Gallery in Nelson, New Zealand, held a major retrospective exhibition of Jens Hansen's work.

The exhibition not only displayed a comprehensive collection of Jens' work, but it also told the stories of the many jewellers and artists who had worked and trained in Jens' workshop over the years.

A very nice catalogue was made for the exhibition and can be downloaded here Exhibition Catalogue The Jeweller's Mark (500kB)

See BBC News Video Clip about Jens Hansen Gold & Silversmith

On July 1st BBC World News ran a small news item on our workshop in Nelson including an interview with Thorkild.

The clip went for 3 minutes 39 seconds, which is a pretty good run on BBC World news! It shows Thorkild & I, the business and workshop and also the background story as to how our father, Jens, came to be selected to create "The One Ring".

A helpful fan has kindly sent me a video clip file (about 3Mb) which can be downloaded here. {Please note this is obviously copyright BBC and if I cannot get official permission to host this file I may well have to pull it shortly - you have been warned.}

You will need the Divx player from www.divx.com which can be downloaded here.
