Stacey Whale is a fine jewellery studio and shop in The Old Post Office in Upper Moutere, near Nelson. The jewellery is designed and made in Nelson, from locally mined and recycled gold, and it is sold as collection pieces, bespoke commissions and limited editions.
The collections include the Natural Instinct range, which draws on New Zealand plants, with ruby and diamond studs, modern-vintage engagement rings, eternity rings and solitaire rings. Other pieces are gold, silver, platinum, diamond and gemstone designs, including bangles and necklaces. The studio's signature technique sets loose gems under a sapphire magnifying lens. Stacey Whale is a Wellington-born jeweller who trained at Whitireia and worked in London from 2001 to 2010, and she returned to her craft in 2020.
The studio says it has won several international design awards, including a Gold Medal for jewellery art and design at the Florence Biennale. A share of net profits goes to the BlinkNow Foundation. Prices are on the website, which notes they may change without notice.
