Hi, a computer-aided design for a simple ring starts from NZ$150 for us. Could you send a sketch, and do you want white or yellow gold?

Kauri Jewel Studio

Hello. Complex designs start from about NZ$250, including one change to the design. The final price depends on metal weight and stone count. What is your budget and deadline?

Ridgeway Bespoke Jewellers

Hi, we do not charge customisation fees, so the price follows the metal and gemstones. Which city are you in, and roughly what size is the piece?

How custom jewellery is priced

Studios price a piece by the amount of metal and the type, size and number of gemstones used. Some do not charge a separate customisation fee, so ask whether the design fee is part of the final price. Gold and platinum quotes depend on the purity you choose, so state the metal and carat in your request.

Qualifications and who makes it

To become a qualified manufacturing jeweller in New Zealand, a maker usually completes an apprenticeship and gains the New Zealand Certificate in Manufacturing Jewellery (Level 4). Ask whether the maker is qualified or works from a portfolio, especially for a one-off piece that cannot be replaced.

Timing before the holidays

A bespoke piece takes time: one Wellington studio says the process usually takes 6–8 weeks from design to finish. November is the run-up to the Christmas gift season, and a wedding or anniversary in the summer months of December to February needs an early start. Order now if you need a piece before the holidays.

What to write in the request

Name the item, the metal and purity, whether you have a sketch or photo, the stones and settings, the size or weight, whether you will bring your own metal, any engraving, the deadline, your city and your budget.

BlaBlaPrice reads your request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in New Zealand, then shows the prices and makers it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own design fee, price and timing, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. You can also send the request link to a jeweller you already know. Start with a request on BlaBlaPrice, or see Household services.
