Vilders is a jewellery gallery and workshop at 104 Aro Street in Aro Valley, Wellington, run by goldsmith Dorthe Kristensen. Dorthe came to New Zealand from Denmark in 1999, trained in fine jewellery and design in London, and graduated as a goldsmith in Copenhagen. Every piece sold at the gallery is custom designed and made by her, using gold, silver, precious and semi-precious stones and pearls. The gallery takes commissions, and it will work with a customer's own inherited pieces or found stones to make something new. It also makes wedding rings on request.
Dorthe has taught jewellery classes in her Aro Valley workshop for 24 years. Classes run either as a six-week course or as a monthly one-day workshop, with a limit of eight students. Students make rings, brooches, earrings, chains and pendants, and materials are supplied during the course. The gallery's work is described as having a Nordic minimalism and a link to the organic forms of nature.
