This store is awesome. They have new, seasonally relevant pieces coming in all the time and so much to choose from! Right now the main table is covered in bright colours and funky shapes for summer. You can also find beautiful NZ-made jewellery, including greenstone, and a mix of delicate pieces and costume jewellery.
This shop is really cool - whether you're after a funky necklace, delicate earrings or anything in-between, you're sure to find it here. From sparkly and dangly to classic and cute, there is definitely something for every taste. The atmosphere of the shop is cool too - every bit of space is taken with the goods and the staff are very helpful if you want to try anything on, or even if you want to change the types of hooks on a pair of earrings. Fantastic!
I haven’t been in Auckland long, so to be honest I don’t have all that many places to compare with - but I LOVE this shop... it’s basically my favourite jewellery store in Auckland (second best is Third Eye on K Rd). I think the name ‘Shellshock’ refers to shell as a common material in jewellery... but the name is actually a good description of how you feel trying to choose something from their massive collection... so much beautiful stuff around you feel a bit shellshocked by the assault of colours, styles, etc... there’s almost too much to choose from, so don’t visit here if you are in a hurry. It has a massive range of necklaces, earrings, pendants, all at very decent prices. It’s arranged by colour and style, and they have the biggest range of turquoise stone stuff I’ve seen yet. What’s best about the store is they don’t limit it to one kind of jewellery... there’s boho-chic, formal, vintage gothic etc, modern minimalist, kiwiana.
It's nice to get a jewellery store in Auckland that actually has variety. Whether you want something for a special occasion, a standard setting, something completely over the top, plain, or just feel like a new item for your collection, Shellshock can normally provide. It's good just for a browse too, and they have bags.
