Meadowlark

Meadowlark founders Claire Hammon and Greg Fromont have been designing some of Aotearoa’s most beloved jewellery pieces since 2006. Press the buzzer to gain entry to their showroom, located above a scooter shop on busy Newton Road. Marked only by a red door and low-key Meadowlark signage beside it, from the outside it could be mistaken for just another office.

Inside, the showroom is testament to Hammon’s interest in design more broadly; it’s filled with iconic furniture pieces and a couple of striking works by local artists. Try on a necklace while gazing at your reflection in a wavy, illuminated Ultrafragola mirror – the famous 1970s design by Italian architect Ettore Sottsass. Take a seat on the genre-defying (and unexpectedly comfortable) Ekstrem chair by Norwegian designer Terje Ekstrom. And admire a painting by New Zealand-born, LA-based artist Emma McIntyre. Even the custom counter is impressive – a limestone creation by Melbourne-based brand Den Holm.

Whether you're shopping for an engagement ring or just having a browse, Meadowlark's welcoming showroom is designed as a comfortable space for everyone where customers can take their time and have a more in-depth experience.
