Custom Jeweller Auckland
Custom jewellery & fine jewellery
Aurea is a bespoke fine jewellery studio in Herne Bay, Auckland, founded by goldsmith Alex Patchett in 2021. Every piece: engagement ring, wedding band, or commissioned heirloom, is hand-made in our Auckland studio rather than mass-produced or imported, using GIA-graded natural diamonds. We work one-on-one with clients from initial design through to final fitting, typically over 6-8 weeks.
The Process
Every Aurea piece begins with a conversation. Here is what to expect when you commission a bespoke piece of jewellery.
Consultation
We meet in person at our Herne Bay studio or virtually. We get to know you, your style, your budget, and the story behind the piece.
Design
Alex hand-sketches initial concepts for you to review and refine. Nothing goes into production until you are completely happy with the design.
Sourcing
We curate a selection of GIA-certified diamonds or gemstones matched to your shape, size, and budget for you to review before committing.
Creation
Alex handcrafts your piece in our Auckland studio to your exact specifications. Allow 6 to 8 weeks from deposit to completion.
