They are the designer & maker of The One Ring, featured in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies. Jens and his son, goldsmith Thorkild Hansen, made more than 40 variations of the movie ring for the films, which were scaled for different scenes and sized to suit its various owners. From smaller solid gold versions that perfectly fit Hobbit's fingers, to the 8-inch ring seen in The Lord of the Rings' prologue spinning and turning through the air. The first Nelson workshop, set up in 1968 in the front room of the family home, quickly became a centre for the local arts community, where Jens' talent, energy, enthusiasm, and outspoken personality drew people in from all over the world. From here Jens trained, worked with and influenced many of New Zealand's leading contemporary jewellers. Even after Jens’ death in 1999, his passion, pioneering outlook and creativity continues to infiltrate the vibrant Nelson arts scene, and inspire the team still working today. In today’s Kiwi Original, Halfdan Hansen shares how the team continues to create timeless jewellery for audiences across the world.
