INternational and ROYAL DESIGNS
Victoria and Kirstin have created pieces for the BAFTAS & OSCARS red carpet events, been asked to create specialty pieces to be worn in films by actresses Robin Tunny (Paparazzi) and Rachel Weisz (The Light Between Oceans), had their jewellery worn by actresses Evangeline Lily (Hobbit) and most recently Thomasin McKenzie Harcourt at the Premiere of the dramatic and moving film The Changeover (Directed by Stuart McKenzie and Miranda Harcourt).
A commission for the Governor-General of New Zealand for the late Queen Elizabeth II's 90th Birthday was also a highlight where the jewellers created a rose gold and diamond brooch which transformed a beautiful pounamu carving of a fern.
TORY & KO. were honoured when four jewellery pieces were selected by the Palace Staff for the Duchess of Cambridge - Kate Middleton - prior to her Royal Tour of New Zealand in 2014.
