When it comes to designing your bespoke piece the more you can share with me the better. Take a look through my website and instagram to get some inspiration. Any piece can be customised to suit you or you can have something completely new designed for you.

I work with my clients online over the internet, nationally and internationally. I love spending some time getting to know you and to gather a better understanding of what you are looking for in your precious design. We share ideas, images and designs and I always want to learn about your story, where your from and the meaning of the piece.
At this current time, I am not taking studio visits but it is something I am working towards for 2026 (watch this space)

One of the most special aspects of Courtney Marama Jewellery is my dedication to creating custom, handcrafted pieces. Whether it’s for an engagement, wedding, or any other meaningful occasion, I specialise in designing precious tāonga (treasure) made with top-quality materials and crafted with love for you or your loved ones.
Every single piece is carefully handcrafted in my Waikato studio, including the carving and shaping of precious stones like Pounamu. I take pride in creating unique, custom shapes for each stone, ensuring it fits seamlessly into your bespoke jewellery design.
At Courtney Marama Jewellery, I’m committed to using Aotearoa materials. Every stone I use is 100% sourced from Aotearoa, and the solid 18ct gold is New Zealand alluvial gold too. This means that your bespoke piece is not only beautifully unique but also truly a part of Aotearoa—crafted with respect for our land and its natural treasures.
If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted tāonga, I’d be honoured to bring your vision to life.

Once we’ve finalised your design and confirmed all the sizing details, we’ll work together to select a precious metal that fits your budget. I’ll provide quotes for different metal options, including various carats, so you can choose the one that suits you best.
To begin crafting your bespoke piece, a 30% deposit is required. Once the deposit is received, I’ll start bringing your design to life. When your jewellery is complete, I’ll be in touch to finalise the piece and arrange the remaining payment. Your precious tāonga (treasure) will then be ready for you to either pick up or have shipped to you.
Each bespoke piece is unique, and prices vary depending on the design and materials. Here are the starting price points:
Sterling Silver: $1200
9k Gold: $2700
18k Gold: $3700
My bespoke orders book fills up very quickly and I only book myself up 1 year at a time. So often pieces can take 3-9 months to complete.
