Jewel Beetle Workshop - creators of handmade NZ jewellery is a jeweller at 56 Bridge St, The Brook, Nelson, with a Google rating of 5.0. By its name, it makes handmade New Zealand jewellery.
A good jeweller helps you choose pieces that suit you and explains what you are buying. With handmade work, ask what metals and stones are used, how the piece was made and how to look after it, since silver, gold and different stones all need different care. Tell the jeweller about metal allergies, and if you are buying a ring, have your finger sized, since fingers change with the weather and time of day. For a gift or a custom piece, ask about timing, and about resizing or repairs afterwards. Regulars order custom work well ahead of birthdays, weddings and Christmas, and they ask about the maker's story, which is part of what makes handmade jewellery special.
