the nelson ring competition

The Nelson Ring Contest

On 21 July, we asked Nelsonians near and far: “If there was a ring that encompassed the spirit, beauty, geography, creativeness, or history of Nelson, what might it look like?” And to find out, we launched the Nelson Ring design competition, to give Nelsonians a chance to design and win the first ever Nelson Ring.

Celebrating the silver fern - jens hansen

Celebrating the silver fern

The Rugby World Cup 2011 has kicked off in New Zealand, and Nelson is buzzing with excitement as we get ready to host several games!

The iconic silver fern has long been recognised as a symbol of New Zealand.  Wearing the Jens Hansen silver fern brooch (pictured top, opposite) is a stylish and understated way of showing our support for Aotearoa, and the All Blacks during the World Cup.
