About Us – Sholrynnghel Handmade Jewellery

Our Story

Sholrynnghel began as a small workshop in the heart of Mount Eden, Auckland. What started as one artisan's passion for turning raw materials into wearable art has grown into a beloved jewellery studio known throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.

Our founders believed that jewellery should carry meaning beyond its material value. Every piece we create is designed to celebrate life's meaningful moments—whether it's an engagement, a milestone birthday, or simply a gift of self-love.

Today, we continue to honour traditional craftsmanship while embracing contemporary design. Our Auckland studio remains the heart of everything we do, where skilled artisans bring designs to life using time-honoured techniques passed down through generations.

Why New Zealand

Aotearoa's natural beauty profoundly influences our designs. From the swirling patterns of native ferns to the deep green of pounamu found in our rivers, the whenua itself inspires our creative process.

We're proud to be based in Auckland, drawing inspiration from both the vibrant Pacific culture and the stunning natural landscapes that surround us. Our connection to this place is reflected in every piece we create.

Being a New Zealand business means we have access to authentic pounamu—a stone sacred to Māori culture and unique to these islands. We work respectfully with local suppliers to incorporate this taonga into our collections.
