Bespoke Jewellery Services
Custom Handcrafted Jewellery in St Heliers, Auckland
At Cornerstone Jewellers, we specialise in bespoke jewellery design and hand manufacturing in St Heliers, Auckland, creating custom pieces that are designed specifically for each client. Whether you are looking to create a completely new jewellery piece or remodel existing jewellery into a modern design, our experienced jewellers provide personalised craftsmanship and expert guidance throughout the entire process.
Handcrafted Jewellery
Every bespoke piece begins with a conversation. We work closely with you to understand your ideas, style, and budget before transforming them into a unique piece you'll treasure for years to come. We can hand manufacture a wide range of jewellery pieces including custom rings, earrings, pendants, bangles, brooches, charms and many more. Every piece is individually crafted to suit your style, preferences, and budget, making bespoke jewellery a meaningful option for engagement rings, anniversary gifts, heirloom redesigns, and one-of-a-kind personal pieces.
If you can imagine it, we'll work with you to create it.
CAD Design & Casting
We are also able to source a wide range of diamonds, gemstones, and coloured stones to suit your design requirements. Clients are welcome to view and approve selected stones before manufacturing begins, ensuring complete confidence in the final design. Depending on the complexity of the piece, we may also create 3D CAD jewellery designs to help visualise how the finished item will look before production.
Manufacturing times vary depending on the design complexity, stone sourcing, and approval process. In most cases, bespoke jewellery manufacturing can take up to 4 weeks once all designs, materials, and stones have been finalised and approved.
Remodeling
Our jewellery remodelling services allow clients to transform older or sentimental jewellery into something new while preserving the original stones or selected elements. We can redesign existing rings, add additional diamonds or gemstones, convert earrings into pendants, transform pendants into rings, and in some cases recreate matching pieces such as a replacement earring if one has been lost. This is a popular option for clients wanting to modernise inherited jewellery while maintaining sentimental value.
Our client had a diamond bracelet that no longer suited their style but wanted to preserve the sentimental value and beautiful diamonds. We carefully removed the chain sections, joined the existing bezel-set diamonds together, and hand-crafted a solid gold bangle around them.
The result is a timeless custom bangle that gave new life to a cherished piece.
For clients wishing to reuse old gold, we first assess the condition and suitability of the metal before manufacturing begins. Older gold can sometimes become brittle or crack during the manufacturing process depending on its age and composition. We also do not reuse gold from chains, as chain gold is manufactured differently from standard jewellery alloys used in rings and solid jewellery pieces.
Where suitable, we may be able to use your existing gold, however in many cases we recommend refining the old gold and crediting its value towards the cost of new materials. Any old gold supplied must be of the same carat, as different gold carats cannot be mixed together for valuation and manufacturing purposes. We work with professional refineries to ensure accurate gold valuation and fair crediting towards your new bespoke jewellery piece.
This bespoke piece began with a client's vision and a collection of diamonds from treasured jewellery. Inspired by a reference design, we carefully incorporated the existing diamonds into a handcrafted platinum ring, creating a contemporary piece that honoured its history while reflecting the client's personal style.
