Jewellery for the waking dream

Meg Van Hale is a New Zealand contemporary jeweller based Ōtepoti, Dunedin. She is interested in themes of the everyday, symbols and dreams; lost and forgotten moments.

The overlooked beauty in the everyday inspires adornment that elevates information otherwise stored away in our subconscious. These physical objects offer a reconciliation of materiality and imagination. Van Hale makes jewellery that strengthens the wearers sense of self; adornment as armour, talismans and keepsakes.
