Curating Future Heirlooms
Mark’s signature commissions involve taking a client’s inherited, often outdated, jewellery and redesigning it to suit a modern lifestyle without losing its core sentimental value. Mark views himself not just as a jeweller, but as a curator of memory, ensuring a piece can be worn and cherished by future generations of Auckland families. Every transformation honours the past while defining the future.
The Custom Design Process
Clients who commission a piece with Mark don’t just pick from a catalogue; they book a complimentary consultation where Mark listens intently, sketching as they share the stories, emotions, and memories associated with the original piece or the person it represents. The final design is a direct manifestation of this shared narrative, a bespoke treasure born from trust and collaboration.
A Touch of the Bespoke
Mark’s custom commissions are known for their strong, classic lines refined by an exacting attention to detail. Drawing on his international experience, his designs always feel contemporary and deeply personal. Whether it is transforming a family crest into a modern signet ring or sourcing the perfect ethical diamond, the result is uniquely tailored to the client’s story.
The Legacy of Diamond Studio
Mark works daily in the North Shore studio that has become a respected source of craftsmanship and expertise. As he continues to serve new generations of clients, he ensures his unique philosophy of “biographical” design, where history and passion intersect with craft, will endure.
A quiet, detail-oriented artisan, Mark Peddie’s hands move with a precision and grace that can only come from a deep, abiding passion for his craft. Every finished piece carries not only his hallmark, but the whispers of a client’s past, present, and future.
