Hi there, I visited your 277 shop this afternoon just casually browsing for a present for a friend back in the UK. After having been through several souvenir shops in both Rotorua and downtown Auckland, I can easily say your little store was by far the best! It had the right mix of ‘Kiwiana’ pieces, eclectic giftware, local designer jewellery and artwork. It was a very pleasant discovery and definitely a shop to revisit! Many thanks, Erin.

Thanks Erin, you’ve made our day

We wish you a brilliant Christmas celebration and an awesome holiday season. Take care of each other, be safe and enjoy!

Best wishes from Neil, Rebecca and the Gusto & Grace team in Auckland.

Best wishes from Abby, Jasmine and the Creative team in Wellington.

For those of us who don’t know…

Black Onyx is a semi-precious stone with a ‘lush’ look that’s perfectly set off by brilliant sterling silver settings. Black Onyx is a crypto-crystalline form of quartz and rarer than onyx with banded colours.

Because onyx has a long history of use for hardstone carving and jewellery, a mythology has developed around it over the centuries. It is said black onyx can help you to find and focus on your dharma, your ‘true path’ and help you to safely, confidently and successfully walk that path.

The New Zealand Mint Jewellery me Black Onyx collection designs embody ancient mythological and religious cross, circle and tear drop symbolism.

Established in 1926 and built on some old school traditions of excellence, quality and attention to detail, Howard Miller is looking like a fine addition to our stable of superb clock brands.

‘Incomparable workmanship. Unsurpassed quality. A quest for perfection. It’s what Howard C. Miller insisted on when he founded the company back in 1926, at the age of 21.’

‘Even then, Howard Miller understood the need to create products that would be steeped in quality and value. He expected nothing less than the best. And it was only under those strict conditions that he allowed his name to grace every clock manufactured at our sprawling facility in Zeeland, Michigan’.

‘Howard Miller was schooled in the fine art of clockmaking by his father, Herman, in the Black Forest region of Germany. Howard developed into a visionary whose keen sense of innovation spawned a tradition of excellence that has been uncompromised through three generations… more here at Howard Miller.com…‘
