Luster Jewellery
If you CRAVE unique, handmade treasures, join the side of jewellery with NO RULES.
Hey, I’m Chloe. I'm the creator, mess-maker, and one-woman show behind Luster Jewellery.
When I first started making earrings for myself, I loved how they looked... but my ears? Not so much. Turns out, cheap metals and sensitive skin aren’t a vibe.
So I did what any jewellery-obsessed, DIY-spirited person would do: I learned how to make the good stuff. Sterling silver. Gold-filled. Comfortable, long-lasting, and made to actually be worn.
All of our jewellery is crafted by me, right here in Aotearoa. My work is inspired by the pure beauty of nature and the way no two stones, or people, are exactly the same.
Every piece is a testament to the belief that jewellery should look and feel good. This is why all new materials are responsibly sourced.
Each piece of Luster Jewellery DANCES to its own beat, just like YOU.

Moira Crossman
Moira Crossman In that quiet clarity, I know: this is what I’m meant to be doing with my life. I strive for perfection, using simplicity of form, defined by natural materials. I am Inspired by natural forms, the window to the reason and why of existence. To create images that inspire and transform our view of the everyday. I’m driven to express the beauty around us, that is fast disappearing. Creating something that be treasured and lasting the test of time.
I make shapes, specialising in three dimensional forms.
Birds are of particular interest to me, as one eye seems to be in the sky looking at birds and the other on the ground looking at rock. A natural beauty, sawing through the sky. One that can only be admired from a far.
