At the back of the shop is a little workshop. Here you’ll find owner David Rawson. On any given day he’ll be shaping rings and working on new pieces. Watch him create magic with the best silver, gold, diamonds and gemstones, or see him repairing a family heirloom.
David has years of experience in the industry. A trade-certified goldsmith and diamond grader, he started his career as an apprentice in Upper Hutt. He then moved to London where he worked with the finest diamonds in the famous jewellery district, Hatton Garden. When he returned to Upper Hutt, David immediately set about opening his own store.
Since opening in 2018, the store has gained a following across the Wellington region. This is the place to come if you want a unique piece of jewellery, made using only the best raw materials and traditional techniques.
It’s not just the jewellery that keeps people coming back. David provides a wonderful experience for every person that walks through the door. If you have a design in mind for a new ring, necklace or bracelet, he can help you bring it to life. Or, if you’re lost for ideas, he can get you started. David is also skilled at repairs. If you have an old watch or precious heritage item that needs attention, he can help to revive it.
