“Had an idea for a custom piece engagement ring. Gary walked me through each bit to consider. Kept me informed throughout the process with calls, meetings, 3D renders and resin models. Everything is also made in house in the workshop. Fiancee and everyone else loved the ring.”

“I'm extremely happy with my experience with Gary. From the initial consultation to selecting the diamond, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. Gary took the time to incorporate every detail and accommodated all of my requests, even last minute changes. My fiancee absolutely loves the outcome.”
“We got in touch with Gary to make our wedding rings. We had a rough idea of what we wanted but Gary made it easy for us. He patiently advised and refined the rings until the final touch, showed us the 3D model and made a 3D resin model to try on.”
“Gary is an incredible craftsman and a true master of his art. He has crafted the most perfect engagement ring for my fiance with an incredible eye for the detail. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in any jewellery that means so much.”
Our process
How your inspiration becomes reality
Four steps, and you can stop at any of them. Nothing is cast until you have worn a model of it on your own hand.
-
01
Send your inspiration
A screenshot, a saved post, a Pinterest board, or a photo of a piece you already own. Anything is enough to start.
-
02
Personalise the design
A complimentary consultation, then a 3D render so you can see it from every angle. We refine it until it is right, and you get a 3D resin model to wear before anything is cast.
-
03
Set your budget
You tell us the number and we design to it, natural or lab-grown. No unexpected costs, and no quote you have not agreed to.
-
04
We make it
Handcrafted by our award-winning team in our own Auckland workshop. Most pieces are finished within three to four weeks of design approval.

Why choose custom jewellery
You can buy one from a case, and plenty of people do. Here is what actually changes when it is made for you instead.
| Custom with Meaden | Bought off the shelf | |
|---|---|---|
| The design | Built around the photo you send | Whatever the case happens to hold |
| The budget | You set it, we design to it | You stretch to the ticket price |
| The stone | Chosen with you, natural or lab-grown | Already set, take it or leave it |
| Before you commit | 3D renders and a resin model you can wear | A mirror and a hopeful guess |
| Who makes it | Our Auckland workshop, in-house | An offshore supplier you never meet |
| Sizing and aftercare | Sized and serviced by the people who made it | Sent away and hoped for |
| What you end up with | The only one of its kind, anywhere | The one that happened to be in stock |
