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
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.
