Many of you will be familiar with the lovely Brooke from our Takanini store. When she's not looking after our Stonz customers, she's showcasing her professional dance talents on various stages across New Zealand. Brooke is meticulously curating a collection of timeless jewellery she will cherish for a lifetime. We chatted with Brooke about her trio of exquisite wedding rings and her jewellery essentials for everyday.
How would you describe your style -
My personal style is characterised by staple pieces - classic and timeless designs that I will treasure for a lifetime. My preference is yellow gold and diamonds.
Tell us about your exquisite trio of wedding rings -
I chose my own engagement ring. I had done my research and knew exactly what I wanted. It's a radiant cut diamond set in 18ct yellow gold.
I paired my engagement ring with a 18ct yellow gold claw set round diamond band.
For our first anniversary, I added some extra sparkle to finish off my set, with a marquise and round diamond eternity band set in 18ct yellow gold.
I love my three rings so much, every time I look at them I think back to our wedding day.
Gold chain - I wear a simple 9ct yellow gold figaro chain. No pendant, just as is. It's a timeless classic, effortlessly elevating any outfit.
Gold bracelet - my go-to bracelet is 9ct yellow gold curb link. Another classic staple piece to go with everything. Eventually I want to get a bangle to pair with it.
Earrings - As for earrings, I double up on gold hoops in varying sizes. I also have smaller plain gold huggies and diamond huggies for different occasions.
One special ring I wear is a 9ct rose gold plain band, originally my Grandfather's wedding band. We had it melted down into three rings - one for me, my mum and my sister. Keeping us connected and adding a sentimental touch each day.
What do you like most about working at Stonz and in the jewellery industry?
