Studio 9 Designs
Handmade jewellery for the modern bohemian
Why choose jewellery from Studio 9 Designs?
Throughout my 15-year journey as a jewellery artist, I've discovered that the desire to express individuality comes in many forms. Jewellery can reflect your personal expression and celebrate your unique style. By drawing inspiration from nature, geometric shapes, organic forms and rustic textures, I lovingly handcraft pieces from brass, copper, and silver, incorporating recycled materials into my designs as much as possible, and infusing it all with a fun, bohemian spirit!
I design jewellery which I believe is not only an expression of you, but also a personal form of armour – worn as a symbol of empowerment and inner strength, as you embrace life’s journey, and as you are wear these pieces, you carry a tangible reminder of this, and a reminder of your special uniqueness.
It’s my absolute privilege to craft jewellery that celebrates your individuality!
For each piece that is ordered, I make to order at that time, so YOUR jewelry is handmade just for YOU! Each piece is created with a lot of love & care, and I make sure that each & every unique piece that gets sent out, is a piece that you will love, and be proud to wear for years to come!
With each order I offer:
♥ FREE NZ tracked shipping for urban addresses (small additional charge for rural addresses).
♥ FREE linen jewellery pouch, care instructions & polish pad with every order!
♥ Eco friendly/recycled packaging.
♥ Handmade in Nelson, NZ.
LET YOUR JEWELLERY CELEBRATE YOUR UNIQUENESS!!
I ordered 2 rings that Gina custom made for me. WOW! That was my initial reaction! They are gorgeous and the quality is amazing! These rings are sooo chic, beautiful and well made, that I know I will be wearing them proudly and regularly FOREVER!! And if that wasn't enough, working with Gina was the icing on the cake!
I purchased these beautiful earrings and the copper bangle from Gina for my daughter's birthday. She was absolutely thrilled with them and loves the boho style. I will definitely order from Gina again!
I bought this ring as a Christmas present for my wife. She noticed the package in the mail and asked " what is that, for me?" Happy wife, happy life! So I gave it to her as an early Christmas present and she is wearing the ring every day and she loves it. This is the third piece of jewelry I purchased from Studio9Designs. We really love the copper and silver cuffs, bracelets and rings that Gina creates. The artistry and craftsmanship are outstanding. This quickly has become my to go to shop whenever I am shopping for a beautiful and unique piece of jewelry.
I love my new copper bracelet! It’s beautifully made and so unique. Gina’s communication has been fantastic and she has put so much care in to making this piece and carefully packing it up for its journey to me in Melbourne. Thank you - I will take good care of your work
About Me
Gina McKay
Owner, designer, maker and everything else in between!
Hello there jewelry lover!
My name is Gina & I work out of my small, studio workshop in sunny Nelson, New Zealand.
I grew up in Christchurch & Nelson, and spent a number of years living in Aussie, where I begun my journey of metalsmithing. I'm a Mum to two beautiful daughters, and so far, a grandmother to one special wee grand-daughter - so much fun!
My partner & I love to travel, with a particular love for Asian countries (love the culture & the delicious food!!). We also love spending time in our trusty caravan, tripping around this beautiful country of ours! When I'm not creating, or travelling, you can find me doing beach walks, reading, practicing yoga, relaxing to Netflix, or hanging out with family & friends.
♥ THANK YOU so much for taking the time to read about my store & supporting my small business. It really means a lot.
Please feel free to reach out, if I can help in anyway, or just to say hello!
Gina x 🦋
