Transforming ideas into precious metals

A bespoke “Jewel Beetle” piece starts on a special journey from its concept to completion. Along the way, we listen to your thoughts and ideas, stirring them into a melting pot together with our design style and professional expertise to create a finished piece that is profoundly individual.

Whether you've already got an idea or no idea at all, we're here to help you through the design process. At Jewel beetle, we’ve developed a talent to clearly interpret just what you’ve been thinking of. We can offer you either a drawing of your design or if you find drawings hard to visualise, we can often make a scaled 3-D wax model. With a variety of materials to choose from we can work to suit all budgets.

As women jewellers we not only love making and designing jewellery - we love to wear it. So you can be assured of the best advice from a female perspective, which is especially valuable if you are making a purchase for someone special. Handcrafted on location at our Nelson studio, you can speak directly with us - the designer and creator - which leaves no room for misunderstandings. Come and see us!

"Together we can create something special."

Here's what our clients say.....

"Julie and I chose to seek out a manufacturing jeweller who would manufacture our wedding rings to a style and standard that we determined must result in them being very special to us. We are very delighted with the rings and we expect we shall receive many favourable comments about our choice in their style. Murray did work as a watchmaker for a number of years and worked alongside two very skilled & experienced manufacturing jewellers, it is from this experience of some 25 years ago, that the personal crafting skills of jewellery manufacture are known to be very evident in the finished pieces when compared with off the shelf bulk manufactured items."

"Shopping for an engagement ring can be a bit overwhelming (as I recently found out) especially if you haven’t got any idea what you might like. I chose a Jewel Beetle design – great because it’s locally made, something a little different but will stand the test of time. I had slight alterations made to the ring and I’m extremely pleased with the end result. I can highly recommend Jewel Beetle for an engagement ring which you’ll be proud to show off!!"
