"Jewellery has the power to be the one little thing that makes you feel unique" Elizabeth Taylor
Hello! My name is Laura and I create minimalist sterling silver and gold-plated jewellery for those who love quality pieces that feel personal and meaningful.
I know that coffee always tastes better in a handmade mug. And that nothing feels more snug than being wrapped up in a handknitted cardy. And likewise, I know the special feeling of wearing a piece of handcrafted jewellery that has been designed with intention and made with a whole lot of love.
My journey into jewellery making began in 2009 while on my OE in London. I took some silver jewellery courses as a distraction from the long, cold winter evenings and fell in love with using my hands to make beautiful, wearable items. I discovered then what I still know to be true today, that handmade jewellery does so much more than just make you look good, it also makes you FEEL good. It's jewellery with meaning, with soul, and with a story to tell. Jewellery that represents who you are and what you stand for.
When my working holiday visa ended and I moved back to NZ, I decided to turn this passion into a career. I completed a Bachelor of Design at Unitec in Auckland, majoring in Contemporary Jewellery. It was there that I refined the timeless, minimalist aesthetic that has become my signature style.
In 2017, I established Aurelium with a focus on authenticity, thoughtful design and high-quality craftsmanship. I recently moved back to my hometown of Christchurch with my husband and two young kids and now work from my studio creating meaningful jewellery that not only brings joy to the wearer but also lets their unique style shine through.
