Jewelry workshop in Auckland

“We enlisted the help of Jewellers Workshop to help us with custom made wedding bands. I wanted a Wedding band that would look like it was supposed to be a set with my engagement ring. My engagement ring was from Partridge Jeweller but it wasn't part of a set. We also wanted to somehow tie in Ivan’s ring with mine but we weren’t exactly sure how. We still wanted Ivan’s ring to be unique but also durable due to his work. We are currently based in Germany so most of our communication is limited to video calls and emails. We contacted pretty much every jeweller in Auckland to see if they were able to help us. A few wouldn’t help us at all as they wouldn’t custom make jewellery for anyone overseas which was disappointing, but Jewellers Workshop did not disappoint. Caitlin from Jewellers Workshop came back with a few AMAZING sketches for my Wedding band that we were absolutely blown away with! They were the only ones that actually did sketches for us pretty much straight away. We LOVED all of her concepts. She really understood what we wanted in terms of wanting something that would look like it was always supposed to be a set with my engagement ring but still allowing my engagement ring to shine. She was also great with looking at some unique ideas for Ivan’s Wedding band. We came back to Auckland for a visit about 5 months before our wedding and we went to visit all of the Jewellers in Auckland that said that they were able to help us. When we went to Jewellers Workshop Caitlin was there to meet us. She was just amazing to work with. She gave us a timeline of how long she would think she would need my engagement ring to match up the engraving with the wedding band, she gave us price estimations for each of her concepts and she was also open to different ideas for the different stones and materials we would want for my Wedding band. When we were there we also had a look around at the different rings that might be suitable for Ivan’s wedding band and there it was … They had rings in display that were made of two different metals but could be customised so that specific patterns could be put on there! It was perfect! Ivan loved the idea that we could put the outline of my Wedding band onto his ring and this would be highlighted by using the two different metals. We then decided on the idea to have matching engravings around the outside of the rings to ensure that people would be able to tell that our rings were “matching” even though we have two distinctively different ring designs. Caitlin was also super responsive in her email communication. She sent us back CAD ideas for both mine and Ivan’s rings, she looked tirelessly for the stones we wanted (pink pear diamond, white pear diamonds and pink brilliant diamonds). She was just amazing! She was the only person to find a pink pear diamond! I was amazed that they were able to make the wedding rings in 3 weeks!!! I was so overjoyed! They did an absolutely amazing job from design to delivery they were so fantastic to work with. After our amazing experience with Caitlin I wanted to do something special for Ivan so I enlisted Caitlin to help me make some custom engraved cufflinks for our wedding. Again she was such an honest dream to work with. Of course the team at Jewellers Workshop were able to do it in time and they looked amazing! Ivan and I could not be happier that we got Jewellers Workshop to make our rings, from our first email they have been nothing but the best! For anyone reading this and looking for a Jeweller to make a bespoke piece. Do not look any further! The creativity that Caitlin presents in all of her designs and the finish that the team are able to accomplish is second to none! Ivan and I went to dozens of different jewellers both in NZ and in Germany and they all come back with the same boring design (especially for males). Not Jewellers Workshop. They sold us with Caitlin's AMAZING drawing and ideas. Nothing is too difficult for them. Let their creativity help to shape your unique jewellery dreams.

“I've been to Barkers so many times, but just thought to share my recent experience. At WestGate branch, we met Ronika. What a nice person. Great customer service and really supportive. However, "Barkers" you found an awesome employee here. Having employees like Ronika makes customers more enticing. Keep up the good work, Ronika! People like you make this place great.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed my class. Such a friendly environment. It was informative, casual and adaptable to all skill levels. As a beginner I felt equipped and comfortable. Highly recommended.”

“I have used The Village Goldsmith twice to craft beautiful rings for me. The service and craftmanship are impeccable and I cannot recommend them highly enough!”

“We were recommended Gary by a friend and we’re so glad we listened! We had three rings made by Gary and his team (our engagement ring and both wedding bands). The craftsmanship is stunning and you can really see the care and attention that went into every detail. Gary is not only incredibly talented but also a genuinely kind and helpful person. His team are also professional and clearly passionate about what they do. We couldn’t be happier with our rings and the experience overall. Highly recommend!”

“Great experience getting my beautiful diamond ring :) All done sight unseen after communicating with Ella. When the ring arrived it was perfect and exceeded my expectations. I am looking forward to visiting in person to organise my wedding band next. Thanks so much to the lovely Naveya & Sloane team xx”

“Amazing experience, 10/10 recommend. Maca was super helpful and informative. The class was relaxing, fun and we learnt so much. Did not think we could actually end up with something so gorgeous but wow!”

“I am so so pleased and would 100% recommend coming here to get your jewellery fixed! I had three of my pieces fixed so fast even when they’re super busy they managed to squeeze me in as I came before closing. Everything turned out like new and the service was so accomodating :) thank u so much!! If you are looking for high quality and affordable services this is the place!!!”

“Great and friendly service. Quick turn around and the end result was stunning. Will definitely use Jewellery Service again. Very happy”

“Amazing service! I love my new earrings! Communication was great throughout and my order arrived in under 48 hours. From a very happy customer.”

“Amazing service. Going above and beyond when we really needed it. It's always great working with companies that actually help to resolve problems. Really appreciated.”

“I highly recommend Julian. I came to him with an ongoing issue i was having with some jewellery. He was friendly, approachable and great to deal with.”

“Doesn't get any better than this, Louis is a true artisan who helped design the perfect ring for both myself and my wife. Her ring draws inspiration from her engagement ring (the same one her great grandmother was given) and mine is hand engraved with mountains from my home town. Both pieces are exceptional and valued far more than Louis charged. He is a gentleman who cares for every part of the ring making process and has been doing this his entire life. We were privileged enough to be able to be involved in the ring making process, melting the gold ourselves and designing our rings. Wouldn't ever consider going anywhere else for any jewellery having found Louis.”

“I have had excellent service from Harwood Goldsmiths since they opened in Pukekohe. They are a family run business and nothing is too much trouble. Penny Harwood and team are very creative in their design and manufacturing of jewellery which is beyond compare. They are not shoddy and cheap, if customers want something which will stand out then go and discuss it with Penny. They have CAD programmes so can show customers what the creation will look like and adjustments can be made to the customers' requirements”

“The casual ring class is amazing! Chris and his wife are fabulous teachers who made the whole experience so unique and enjoyable. I highly recommend it to anyone - no experience needed, you will have a great time!”

“The cutest piercing/tattoo studio! Very clean and tidy. My friend and I went in for the 1x free piercing special and the student piercer did AMAZING! She was cool, calm and collected and definitely felt at ease under Robs supervision. They were both very informative about aftercare and answered all my questions (I had a lot... nerves haha). 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone!!”

“Super cute place with nice vintage clothing and local accessories and other products. They have a cute variety of mugs, books and jewelry.”

“Gorgeous handmade NZ jewellery throughout the store by local artists. Staff very helpful with jewellery tips and reshaping my own jewellery. Felt welcome and at ease in the space and will be visiting regularly out of pure joy!”

“I tried to resize my beloved ring by myself, but clumsily ended up deforming it. So today I came to have it reshaped and resized. After some consideration, I decided to go for reshaping only. To my surprise, the shop owner restored my ring in less than a minute. When I offered to pay, he simply said “For What?” — Such generosity truly moved me, and I just have to say: thank you so much.”

“Came to Oronegro with the initial intention to have a few pieces re-chorded and was considering options for gifts for family. As soon as I walked in the quality and craftsmanship spoke for its self—quite loudly. Ernesto is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and sincere (living up to his name). I couldn’t be happier. Go here. His shop is a taonga in and of itself.”

“My favorite spot for NZ-made art, crafts, and souvenirs. The selection is excellent, the staff are always friendly, and the overall vibe is awesome. Highly recommend for both locals and tourists.”

“Amazing service. Quick, friendly, quality is really really really good. These people are doing such a special thing and will do their best to help you, especially if it’s a special surprise. I am absolutely stoked what they did for me! So grateful.”

“My 9-year-old daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Drawing & Sketching class (Tue 3:45-5:15) with Maree. Learning to depict objects with pencil sketching added a technical dimension to her artistic skills. It was a great class for a 9-year-old who loves drawing, providing more advanced content rather than simplistic children's drawings. This class is highly recommended for kids who love drawing and want to boost their skills.”

“Could not rave more highly about Herb and the rings he has designed my now husband and I! Firstly, he created the most stunning engagement ring which I was blown away by. Then when I came with ideas for my wedding band, he not only ran with it but created something so much more beautiful than I could have hoped. I felt educated and fully a part of the process all throughout. My husband was also presented with so many options for wedding bands, and was able to create something unique but also stunning! We couldn't recommend Herb enough!”

“Both the service and quality of the pendant were top notch! Lovely to deal with and will definatly be our 'go-to' for our client and staff gifts in future.”

“Superbly restored historic building in park-like grounds. Lovely cafe & arts display too!”

“What a gem. I've participated in acrylic pouring painting classes and a poi workshop. So much fun. I love it! Really cool exhibitions there too. The teachers are great. They accommodate complete beginners.”

“Lovely morning wandering around looking at exhibitions. Had a go at rock painting, handy café on site for coffee and food”
