About Jewellery By Maree

Thoughtful design rooted in nature, story, and season

A jewellery studio based in Whangarei, New Zealand, we specialise in creating organic, artful pieces that carry meaning and stories. Our design approach leans into texture, geometric form, and the quiet beauty of natural materials, allowing each creation to follow its own rhythm. Much like the way metal flows, patterns emerge, and shapes evolve without force. We design with emotion, guided by how we want a piece to feel when it’s worn: timeless, personal, and connected. Whether it’s a bespoke commission or a collection piece, the goal remains the same: to craft jewellery that feels like a natural extension of you and your story.
