Why clients choose Jewellery By Design NZ

Guided Process

You don’t need to know what to ask. We’ll guide you through stones, settings, proportions and budget — calmly and clearly.

No shortcuts. No compromises. Built to last.

Thoughtful construction, clean finishing, and details that hold up to real life—because this isn’t fast jewellery.

No Replicas

One-of-a-kind means exactly that. When a piece is gone, it’s gone

Design something personal

Most clients come to us for guidance — not a catalogue. Whether you’re starting with a stone or an idea, we’ll design a piece that feels considered, meaningful, and made for the wearer.

Occasionally, rare stones are designed into single pieces that won’t be repeated. If something speaks to you, don’t wait too long.

A calm, guided process

Step 1 — Private consultation

A relaxed conversation in person or online to understand what you’re making and why.

Step 2 — Stone + design direction

We’ll talk gemstones, setting options and proportions—then confirm a clear direction.

Step 3 — Refine and approve

We refine the design details and confirm everything before crafting begins.

Step 4 — Crafting and delivery

Your piece is made and finished with care, then delivered ready to wear (or propose with).

Hi, I’m Charlie Lattimore — owner and jeweller at Jewellery By Design NZ. I work alongside my wife, Hannah, while raising our young daughter, Lara.

My love of gemstones and jewellery began in childhood, with a clear ambition to one day become a jeweller. At 28, I took the leap to turn that lifelong passion into my craft, and today I’m grateful to create meaningful jewellery every day.
