Wicken jewellery launched in December 2016 and has been a regular pop up store at Ponsonby Central, Coatesville markets, Shed 10, The Cloud and General Collective.
Wicken jewellery harnesses the ancient symbols and knowledge of Wicca, combined with protective and healing crystals. The purpose is not only to adorn the body, but to inspire the soul and invigorate the spirit.
Wicken’s collection holds true meaning with each piece acting like a talisman, there to help you find balance, strength, reconnect with who you are and empower your inner goddess.
All of the pieces in the Wicken collection are designed by Kim Mackay and manufactured locally in Auckland from pure sterling silver or rose gold, with gems and crystals sourced internationally from reputable suppliers.
“After a truly beautiful and inspiring trip to London and Paris in 2015, I suffered a life threatening medical event on the flight back home to New Zealand. Surviving this, brought me a renewed perspective on life and an openness to everything it brings,” says Kim Mackay.
“My journey back to wellness was as much about healing my mind and spirit as it was my body. The symbols you see woven into every Wicken piece are at the heart of that. They’re my chance to send out into the world a powerful, yet beautiful piece of jewellery to help women uncover their own strength and beauty.
"During my recovery, I turned to nature and crystals for healing. Wicken was born from this, and I started to design and research the pieces for the White Witch collection and several other collections to follow,” says Kim.
Wicken jewellery is not your typical jewellery store, it has a beautiful bo-ho vibe and customers often comment that they feel they have been drawn into another world. The combination of elegant contemporary design with old-world magic drawing on the feminine goddess connects strongly with customers uplifting and empowering them.
