Created for those who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design, Atelier showcases natural semi-precious and precious gemstones, including diamonds.
What makes the Atelier collection different?
Atelier represents the highest level of Silk & Steel craftsmanship. Produced in limited quantities using premium sterling silver, solid gold, natural gemstones and diamonds, the collection showcases limited-edition necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings.
Are Atelier pieces limited edition?
Yes. Atelier pieces are produced in limited quantities to preserve the exclusivity of each design, with selected styles also available on pre-order.
Why are some Atelier pieces available on pre-order?
To preserve the exclusivity of the Atelier collection, selected designs are made on a pre-order basis rather than held in stock. If a piece is available on pre-order, this will be clearly stated on the product page, along with an estimated production timeframe of 6–8 weeks.
What materials are used in the Atelier collection?
Atelier pieces are crafted from premium sterling silver and solid gold. Designs feature carefully selected natural gemstones, including semi-precious and precious stones such as natural diamonds.
Do you offer lab-grown diamonds?
Yes. For selected Atelier designs, we offer both natural diamonds and lab-grown diamonds as part of our customisation process, giving you the flexibility to create a personalised fine jewellery piece that suits your style, preferences and budget.
Are Atelier designs customisable?
Some Atelier designs may be customisable. Depending on the style, we may be able to create your piece in a different precious metal or source an alternative gemstone or diamond. To personalise an existing design, please contact us to discuss what may be possible.
Where is Atelier jewellery made?
Every Atelier piece is designed in New Zealand and crafted by trusted manufacturing partners accredited to internationally recognised Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) and ISO standards. These partnerships reflect our commitment to ethical jewellery, responsible sourcing, exceptional craftsmanship and consistent quality.
Is Atelier jewellery suitable for everyday wear?
Atelier jewellery is thoughtfully designed to be worn and enjoyed every day. Crafted from premium sterling silver and solid gold using exceptional materials and expert craftsmanship, each piece is created to be treasured for years to come. Our gold-plated sterling silver designs are finished with premium 14kt gold plating for lasting wear. Like all fine jewellery, sterling silver and gold-plated pieces will naturally require care over time, and we recommend following our jewellery care guidelines. Gold plating will gradually wear with use and may require replating to maintain its finish.
How durable is Atelier gold-plated jewellery?
Our gold-plated sterling silver jewellery is crafted to a premium standard for lasting wear. Our rings feature 3 microns of 14kt gold plating, exceeding the minimum thickness required for gold vermeil. Our necklaces, earrings and bracelets feature 1 micron of 14kt gold plating. As with all precious jewellery, we recommend following our care guidelines to help maintain its appearance and longevity.
How long will my Atelier order take?
In-stock Atelier pieces are dispatched promptly from our New Zealand studio. Pre-order designs generally require 6–8 weeks for production before dispatch.
Is Atelier jewellery covered by a warranty?
Yes. Every Atelier piece is covered by our manufacturing warranty against workmanship defects. We also recommend following our jewellery care guidelines to help maintain the beauty and longevity of your jewellery.
Does Atelier jewellery come beautifully packaged?
Yes. Every Atelier piece arrives beautifully presented in our signature Silk & Steel packaging, making it perfect for gifting or celebrating life’s meaningful moments.
How do I choose the right Atelier piece?
Each Atelier design is created to feel timeless, elevated and personal.
