1. Meadowlark's Latest Ceremonial Collection
Whether you’re actively ring shopping, still at the hinting stage, or simply in the market to celebrate yourself with a giant, gleaming rock on your fourth (or middle) finger, Meadowlark’s latest Ceremonial collection is where we’d begin. True to the brand’s sustainable ethos and high fashion meets rock and roll aesthetic, expect vintage-inspired designs with Art Deco echoes in your choice of 9ct, 18ct or 24ct gold or platinum. Featuring signature styles alongside four new designs as well as the brand’s first foray into lab grown diamond solitaires, each Ceremonial piece is modified to your taste – be it decorative and ornate or minimalist and modern – before being made to order by some of Aotearoa’s most skilled jewellery artisans in Meadowlark’s Auckland atelier.

Luckily, the latest delivery of consciously-crafted, locally-made clothes from Mina is here to help us manifest this cold snap away. “With a sense of optimism for the upcoming season, I was reminiscing about verdant orchards, ripe summer fruit, morning swims and picnics on the lawn while designing this collection”, says founder Natalie Procter. All of that comes through in a number of playful and spirited styles showcasing vibrant shades of emerald green and tangerine, and easy-to-wear silhouettes perfect for throwing on after the aforementioned morning swim and pre-lawn picnic.
