You tell the story and we capture its essence.
Every story is different just like every piece we carefully craft.
With a number of our team Taranaki born and raised, it is a city close to our hearts. From the dramatic mountain, to the rolling hills, the breathtaking landscapes of Taranaki and New Zealand are captured in The Village Goldsmith Narrative Engagement and Wedding Ring Collection.
Whether you are sipping coffee at The Federal Store, relaxing in the sun down at the Foreshore or exploring the beautiful gardens of Pukekura Park you can work remotely with us to make your dream jewellery piece a reality.
At The Village Goldsmith we create and craft lasting memories for our customers. Each piece of jewellery is uniquely designed to capture your story. We work with our clients remotely from all over New Zealand and around the globe, so if you are based in New Plymouth, or anywhere else for that matter, please get in touch. We would be happy to help you through email, skype and over the phone.
We listen to your needs, your dreams, and work with you to deliver a tangible piece of jewellery that not only tells the story of how it came to be and what it represents, but also holds a lifetime of memories as your relationships continue to evolve.
Every story is different just like every piece we carefully craft.
We think there are few items we possess in our lifetime that can carry such a powerful meaning. It’s no surprise then that everything that goes into finding, creating, and crafting your piece of jewellery brings us such great satisfaction and pleasure. It’s the reason The Village Goldsmith founder, Ian Douglas, began crafting jewellery in the first place, over 40 years ago.
From first hearing your story, to finally seeing something executed by our own hands and in our own workshop, passed on to you, to whom it means so much, is one of the most satisfying feelings in the world.
It’s our goal that the experience of being involved in this process brings you a wealth of satisfaction too.

"Bryleigh was absolutely amazing to deal with. She was knowledgeable, approachable and was happy to answer any and all of my many questions. I felt totally involved in the process which is exactly what I wanted. The ring is exactly what I had hoped for and more. I could not fault the service or quality at all. Thanks so much for taking all of the stress out of what could have been a very stressful process. Would absolutely recommend your company to anyone and everyone. Thanks again!"

"I give The Village Goldsmith a 5 star rating for two reasons: firstly, because it's such an amazing treasure trove of stunning jewellry; and secondly, because my daughter used to work there, so I know the awesome work that goes on."

"We had my engagement ring made with Village Goldsmith 5 years ago. They took the time to ask what I was after, and show multiple options and ideas within our budget. They worked with us to make some changes, and were quick to have stones in for me to view, and for the ring to be finished. We then had our wedding rings made with them, with the same amazing warm, friendly and efficient service. I recommend them to anyone looking to buy or have wedding jewellery made!"

"I am over the moon with the ring my fiance and Ian made for me. I love the ring, it was beautifully presented in a wooden box which is a little different! Ian was super friendly and was there to answer the questions I had after receiving the ring! From all accounts, he was easy to work with during the ring making process too. I highly recommend (and have been recommending to my friends) Village Goldsmith!."
