The Atelier Process

From first sketch to the reveal.

01

Private Consultation

We talk through your story, budget and taste in our Auckland studio or over video, no obligation to proceed.

02

Design & Render

Concept sketches become a 3D render, refined with you until every line is right before any metal is cut.

03

Handcrafted In-House

Your piece is cast, set and polished by hand in our workshop, not outsourced to a factory line.

04

The Reveal

You collect your piece in person, with lifetime aftercare and resizing included.

“A piece worth inheriting is never mass-produced. It is drawn, argued over, and made once.”

This is the belief behind every commission we take on, and why we limit the number of pieces we make each year.

Handcrafted, Not Outsourced

Every commission is made by hand, in one Auckland workshop.

We work in small batches by design. No piece leaves our bench until our goldsmiths are satisfied it meets the standard we would want for ourselves, and every stone is checked against its certificate before setting.

Questions

Frequently asked.

How does the bespoke design process work?+

Every commission begins with a private consultation in our Auckland studio, followed by concept sketches, a 3D render for your approval, and handcrafting in-house. Most engagement rings take 6 to 10 weeks from final approval.

Do you use conflict-free diamonds and recycled metals?+

Yes. We source Kimberley Process certified diamonds and work primarily in recycled 18k gold and platinum, with lab-grown stones available on request.

Can you redesign an inherited or estate piece?+

Yes, heirloom redesign is one of our three core services. We rework existing stones and metal into a new setting while preserving the history of the piece.

What is the investment for a bespoke engagement ring?+

Bespoke commissions typically start from NZD $8,000 depending on stone size, metal and design complexity. We discuss budget openly at your first consultation.

Do you offer consultations outside Auckland?+

Our atelier is based in Auckland CBD and consultations are by appointment, with video consultations available for clients outside the region.
