You tell the story and we capture its essence.
Every story is different just like every piece we carefully craft.
The Village Goldsmith takes great pride in custom designing and crafting jewellery pieces that draw inspiration from all over the world - for customers based in every corner of the globe.
We believe each piece has a story to tell. Designing and manufacturing pieces inspired by so many culturally rich locations, such as New York's skyline, the streets of Barcelona, and even our own backyard - New Zealand, there is no limitation to what we can be inspired by here at The Village Goldsmith. No matter where you are in the world, from London to Tokyo, or any city in between, get in touch with us and we can work remotely with you 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 no matter where you are based, 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.

"You'd think living across the ditch in Australia would make this too difficult to bother working remotely for a wedding band (or in my partner's case, the engagement ring in the first instance). But the team at Village Goldsmith are honestly phenomenal. The attention to detail, the flexibility, the care, the customisation. Everything. Couldn't think of anywhere better for the important and memorable moments of life!"

"I cannot recommend this small independent Wellington business highly enough. I have purchased three rings from them since discovering their jewellery on a visit to New Zealand in 2012 and love their contemporary design and style. On my last visit from Scotland, I had the pleasure of meeting Ian Douglas and listening to him talk about where he gets the inspiration for his designs was just wonderful. Quite simply, the quality of workmanship, attention to detail and customer service at The Village Goldsmith are second to none. If I could give them I higher rating I would."

"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!"
