Let's go back to 1974, when five young New Zealand jewellery makers were about to open a collective to promote and sell their work in central Auckland.
From those humble beginnings, Fingers is now the oldest contemporary jewellery gallery in New Zealand and thought to be oldest surviving jewellery co-op in the world.
It is now celebrating its 50-year anniversary - and has become an institution recognised locally and internationally, providing a platform for many artist's careers.
Jesse talks to Ruth Baird, one of those pioneering jewellers.
