We also offer expert jewellery repair and restoration services, bringing cherished items back to life with the same care and skill that goes into making them.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Owner and Master Goldsmith, Mark Peddie, a second-generation jeweller with more than 40 years of experience, was formally trained in South Africa in the 1980s, and Mark’s artistry has earned multiple awards and the trust of clients across New Zealand.
Our journey began in our family’s workshops in South Africa, where the foundations of our craftsmanship were laid. It was there that Mark Peddie, our Master Goldsmith, honed a deep understanding of diamond sourcing and the intricate technicalities of fine jewellery manufacturing. Today, that heritage lives on in the heart of Mairangi Bay, where we combine old-world artistry with a modern Auckland perspective.
Having worked and lived in the East Coast Bays for over 20 years, he’s become the go-to jeweller for many North Shore families—some of whom now represent three generations of clients.
Mark’s philosophy is simple: “Jewellery should tell your story, beautifully and forever.” His greatest joy comes from seeing clients’ faces light up when they see their new creation for the first time, or when a beloved heirloom is restored to its former brilliance.
At the Bench in Mairangi Bay
Unlike many modern jewellers, we don’t just “sell” rings—we create them. When you visit our North Shore studio, you aren’t just walking into a showroom; you’re entering a workspace where heat, noise, precision, and passion come together.
Mark Peddie brings four decades of expertise to every piece. Having his hands on every sketch and his eyes on every stone ensures a level of quality that only a Master Craftsman can provide. We pride ourselves on the fact that your jewellery is designed and manufactured right here in Auckland, ensuring that the structural integrity matches its aesthetic beauty.
Our Philosophy: Originality, Beauty, and Quality
Our approach is simple: We create jewellery that is as unique as the person wearing it.
Whether we are sourcing a rare diamond from our global network or remodelling a cherished family heirloom into a contemporary masterpiece, our focus remains on three core pillars:
- Originality: No two love stories are the same, and your jewellery shouldn’t be either.
- Beauty: We seek the perfect balance of light, proportion, and artistic expression.
- Quality: We build for a lifetime, ensuring your piece becomes a legacy for generations to come.

Local Roots, Community Heart
Beyond the studio, Mark is a proud supporter of the local community. As Chair of the Mairangi Bay Business Association, he’s helped grow the iconic Mairangi Bay Food & Wine Festival into one of the North Shore’s most anticipated annual events.
When he’s not in the workshop, you’ll find him out fishing on the Hauraki Gulf or catching up with friends over a beer at the Tiger Bar in the village.
