He has owned and successfully run businesses in Cairns and Kuranda since, creating an extensive customer following over the years. In 2009, after meeting his wife Maerey, he moved to Azalea House in Atherton where he began trading as Azalea House Studio. Maerey Hagberg joined the business in 2016 as an Apprentice Jeweller, and with Kai’s expert guidance, has developed her own unique style. The Hagbergs now design and manufacture any piece of jewellery a customer desires. Kai explains, “Some customers have a specific design in mind and others are happy to be guided through the process. Customers are provided with a detailed, colour drawing of the design, so they know exactly what they are getting before they commit”. Customers are welcome to bring in preloved pieces to be brought back to life or shaped into a new, more personal or meaningful creation. Kai enjoys helping people repurpose their gold and silver while keeping costs down. Though Jewellery Design and Manufacture is his main occupation, Kai is an accomplished Artist, having exhibited and sold many paintings and sculptures over the years. Kai is also known for his exquisite calligraphy and hand engraving. Maerey says, “We are in love and we love working together. We laugh a lot and enjoy what we do which I think is essential for a happy working environment.” "I feel so fortunate to be working in a job which I’m passionate about and I get to work with my Valentine too” laughs Kai. 10 What’s On & Where To Go February 2018 Check out Kai’s artwork at The Foyer Gallery, 45 Mabel St, Atherton from Tuesday 30th January - Tuesday 3rd April The exhibition is a collection of abstract and expressionist style portraits titled Woman.
