Moeraki Dress Ring — One of a Kind
There is only one in existence. This piece will never be repeated.

A finalist in the 2019 Australian Jewellery Design Awards, the Moeraki Dress Ring is inspired by the ancient, spherical Moeraki Boulders, revealed by the receding tide at Koekohe Beach, north of Dunedin. Their quiet permanence and natural symmetry are captured in a jet-black spinel, set in platinum and surrounded by an array of diamonds, echoing these enigmatic forms resting within the ebbing tide.

According to Māori legend, these boulders are the gourds and calabashes washed ashore when the Araiteuru waka was wrecked centuries ago. This narrative of journey, loss and arrival is woven into the design, transforming landscape and legend into wearable art.
