Claire Hahn is no stranger to fashion that turns heads. She’s won the fashions in the field at the Races and is now their judge. She’s modeled on the catwalk, and now a glamorous mum of two, she is behind these gorgeous costume necklaces direct from the US.

"I have been working on developing a line of high quality costume jewellery with a talented jeweller in the states" says Claire, pictured below (centre) wearing one at Derby Day at the races this month. "The first shipment of six pieces arrived on Friday and I am thrilled with the results."

"Each piece is crafted from reclaimed vintage stones, hand painted and dyed and completely one off. They are statement-making pieces but my style mantra has always been……”it is better to be looked over, than over looked”.

"I have more necklaces ready to be crafted as well as a range of earrings and cuff style bracelets."

Necklaces retail for $550. To make enquiries contact Claire Hahn at claire@hahn.co.nz. She will also be working with clients on a custom order basis to develop their dream piece, and bridal custom orders too.
