Sheryl May
When Gisbornite Sheryl May left New Zealand for Spain in 1992, little did she know that when she returned home 16 years later it would be as a hugely successful fashion designer with accounts around the globe and celebrities like Annie Lennox, Nicole Richie and Penny Lancaster as clients. Now she brings her signature label to her home country. “I want to base my business here, design and produce here and use my label to promote Kiwi products,” she says. “
Naturally I will have to adjust my designs for this market,” she says. “
But I believe New Zealand women want to be more in touch with their feminine side, so I will help them bring sexy back!”

Julie Eynon
Julie Eynon has always been fascinated with jewellery. After attending a night class to make herself a bracelet, she decided to take her interest further and study Contemporary Jewellery Design and Fabrication at the Randwick Technical Institute in Sydney, Australia. This training cemented her love for designing and creating jewellery – a passion she has now made her profession. Julie mainly works in sterling silver. “It is my belief that the true value of a piece is in its association with the wearer,” she says. “The intrinsic value is secondary to the memories or emotions invoked by the jewellery.” Every item of her work is a unique piece of New Zealand jewellery all designed and crafted in her workshop. Some pieces are ‘one off’ designs and many are limited edition.
