Even though she’s famous for singing that she’s never seen a diamond in the flesh (until now <3!), Lorde has top-notch taste when it comes to jewelry. And it’s been that way ever since the singer hooked us on her infectious debut smash “Royals” — just peep at the screen shot from the music vid below: With no purple lip to catch our eye (that cat eye tho!), we’re sucked in by her simple accessorizing with that so-cool silver statement necklace from New Zealand jewelry brand Meadowlark.
Created by fellow kiwis and husband + wife duo Greg Fromont and Claire Hammon, the eight year-old jewelry brand makes timeless totems with an alternate edge. From fang rings and cross-bone charms to clawed cat paw pendants, the handcrafted accessories are at once playful + dark and always elegantly refined. It’s easy to see why Lorde finds the brand to be so crushworthy — according to a profile on Fashionista, she’s rarely seen without a M-stamped gem on her fingers, wrists or neck — its glam gothic aesthetic perfectly suits her style + sound. We’re taking a cue from the Queen B and adding some delightfully mischievous Meadowlark pieces to our style wish list — shop our 10 favorite picks below.
1. Large Wreath Necklace ($1,197): Classical laurel leaves + a gothic hexagon make a timeless statement necklace that won Lorde’s royal approval (Ours too! We’ll have to start counting our dollars on the train… now!).
2. Serpent Charm Necklace ($103): From far away, this tiny charm appears to be a girly bow, but up close, the form is much more menacing. It’s an optical illusion we won’t ever stop obsessing over.
3. Fang Stacker Ring ($86): Vampire fangs add biting detail to this slim stacker ring that would look devilish paired with other gold plated beauties.
4. Cat Paw Cocktail Ring ($430): The chunky cocktail ring gets a fierce makeover with cat paws clutching a coveted pyramid stone.
5. Apple Core Stud Earrings ($37): Wickedly chomped to the core, these bitten apple studs are insanely awesome.

7. Cat Paw Stud Earrings ($85): Clawing to get these gold plated paw studs added to your cart? We don’t blame you.
8. Cat Ears Ring With Stones ($447): Cute cat ears get the royal treatment with trilliant-cut gemstones in an offbeat slime green hue.
9. Bone Bow Cocktail Ring ($407): While there’s no looking away from that rock, the edgy bow(ne) details are what make this ring extra special.
