Dear Alex,
I just wanted to express my great delight and gratitude to you for the beautiful restoration of my family jewellery. By your hands, they have been given a new lease of life and have evolved into new pieces that I may now call family heirlooms. My grandmother's moonstone necklace- broken, dirty and in disrepair, has turned into a stunning bracelet that features the glory of each bright stone. Her engagement ring, a new diamond set in the middle, and newly plated, now shines like the day she first received it. Because of your talent, I feel that I can truly honour my grandmother's legacy. Thank you Alex. Vicky, Auckland, Feb 2016 |

Dear Lori & Alex,
Thank you so much for the work you did on the engagement ring, you created the unique design perfectly and Steph loves it! It was a great experience working with you as you made the ring I wanted. Funnily enough it was a life changing decision deciding to propose and you were very supportive and patient through the whole process which made it so much easier for me. Looking forward to coming back to get the wedding band done! Thanks again, Nick, Auckland, July 2015 |
Dear Sir,
We came to see you around 21/2/2015 about our engagement ring that we wanted to purchase and make it our own. We couldn’t afford the traditional diamond but wanted something just as good and affordable for us, something with our own signature that was different in its own way in both its look and design.
We wanted to thank you for the beautiful craftsmanship of the ring, it is truly beautiful, unique and a real stunner. The quality of the ring has turned it into a real noticeable ring and it sure does turn heads! Oh wow is the response we get and how beautiful it is….
Thank you so much for making our occasion with a ring that will last us our lifetime together.
We look forward to returning in the future to design the matching wedding band.
Thank you again for making our occasion and the ring so special.
Warmest regards,
Michelle & Mark Katavich, Auckland Central

Hi Lori!
Picked up the ring earlier today and OMG! It's amazing.
We had been looking around for a good jeweler with reasonable prices for a long time and without any luck gave up! One night I was randomly surfing the Web and came across your website and walla here we are!
I would just like to thank you and Alex for your PERFECT customer service and PERFECT treatment of my wedding band! I am so happy to be able to wear it again and though I am all the way from East Auckland, the BEAUTIFUL drive out to your studio is so worth it!
Again thank you both and we will definitely come to you for any of our Jewellery needs!
Many thanks,
Kassidy - East Auckland, March 2015

Hi Lori
We are back from Claire's 21st and thought I would let you know she was thrilled with the bangle. There was a lot of positive comment from others present and several offers to take it of her hands if she didn't like it!! Thanks again for the wonderful service, it is great to deal with a business that obviously knows the value of great customer service. Kind regards Reg, June 2014 |

Hi Lori,
OH my goodness, I have the ring and I absolutely love it!! You were right it is a very stunning ring. I haven’t been this excited about a ring since my engagement ring, which was years ago!! Thanks heaps to you and Alex for making such a ring fit on my finger! Regards, Fee - Feb 2014 |
I am a new customer to SilverStone and I must highly commend Alex and Lori on all aspects of how they run their business. They are friendly, creative, professional and extremely trustworthy.
My experience was an emotional one having to remodel wedding jewellery I no longer required (if you get my drift). Lori and Alex were very empathetic and made the hard process of starting over a great deal easier.
I love Lori's enthusiasm and Alex literally creates works of art not just jewellery. I can't wait to get started on the second design with the leftover gold from the first remodelling.
I highly recommend SilverStone to all customers new or existing. I will be a repeat customer that is guaranteed!
Kind regards
Linda

When we first decided to get our wedding bands made, Lori and Alex from SilverStone Jewellery came highly recommended. We thought we'd go and see what they could do -- turns out they could have done anything we wanted really with their open minds, creative ideas and helpfulness we were able to combine some of our sentimental jewellery passed down in the family into our new wedding bands.
This was something that was really important to us to have history and love embedded within the metal to make it more than just a ring. They understood this perfectly and were able to create such stunning rings! Without ever trying to coax us into something more we felt we were able to play around with ideas and the price was at least 50% less than what we would have paid at a retailer - and is professionally valuated at double what we paid for them.
They really looked after us and also allowed us to do a payment plan as at the time we were paying for so many other things for the wedding - money didn't seem like an issue to them they just wanted it to be perfect for us. I mean really, what else would a bride and groom really want if not that!? Thank you so much guys we love what you have done for us. We will highly recommend you to anyone who asks!

A huge thank you to Lori and Alex of SilverStone Jewellery. We took Pania to them last week with her baby bracelet that had become too tight. Alex and Lori were so lovely with Pania (10 years old), talking to her about what she wants done with her bracelet, how they could cut it off and different options of adjusting it.
They both made Pania feel very special and recognised how important her baby bracelet was to her. They took into consideration the writing on the inside of the bracelet and it was couriered to our home today. It looks fantastic, beautiful and shiny and she will now be able to wear it for many more years to come! Thanks again Lori and Alex.
Please see their website for all your jewellery alterations, designing and jewellery the have ready to buy.

Hi Lori,
I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that the proposal went really well. Enid was completely surprised, and absolutely LOVES her ring! Managed to get the ring and the box over there without her suspecting anything. I proposed at sunset at her family log cabin which overlooks Kootenay Lake in BC, Canada. The cabin was built by her dad and his brothers 30 years ago, and is her favourite place in the whole world. It was a perfect setting. The amount of complements we’ve had on the ring have been insane. I’m only now starting to realise just how special and unique the ring actually is. Cheers, Vaughan |
Thanks so much for your prompt supply and delivery.
So enjoyed talking with you, and will definitely keep in touch regarding Jewellery Party.
Your jewellery vision (ideas, promotion, customer service and quality) is outstanding!
Will keep in touch,
Kindest regards, Rachel
Picked up my jewelry from GemLab on Friday and finally got to wear it! Am having lots of fun swapping the rings around in different formations and have already had a few comments on the heart pendant - all positive!
Thank you for giving me jewelry I can wear rather than have it hiding away in boxes.
Best regards to you both,
Ali
When it came to choosing the perfect gift for a very special occasion, I immediately thought of SilverStone Jewellery, having bought beautiful pieces in the past. Lori and Alex went the extra mile to create the perfect gift and it was perfect.
Thank you,
Fiona
Thanks so much!
This is the third bangle we have ordered from you and we LOVE them! It is for our newest granddaughter and now becoming a tradition in our family;)
Thank you,

I have just been to work and found my ring had been delivered yesterday. Thank you so much, it is absolutely beautiful, nicer than I anticipated!
Also thank you for making it quite a bit larger without an additional charge. I will be putting your website in my Favourites and will check what you have on offer from time to time. Kind regards, Peggy |

Just wanted say thank you for the bracelet - I love it! I've had loads of people comment on it. Brilliant quick service too. Thanks again. Ally February 2013 |

Hi Lori
I just wanted to send you a quick email about my recent gifts! My amazing partner (Kerry) gifted me the most amazing peridot heart-shaped earrings and an absolutely STUNNING peridot necklace! I have never been so spoilt in my life! These two pieces are beautifully crafted and are an absolute pleasure to wear. They will be treasured for the rest of my life and I just wanted to thank you for going the extra mile and helping him succeed in pulling the wool over my eyes. I will definitely be spreading the good word to friends and family and will be adding to my SilverStone collection! Thanks again, Anj x New Zealand February 2013 |
|
Hi Lori,
Just thought i'd let you know that Anj loves the necklace and is a very good match for the earrings!! No doubt I'll be in touch down the track if I need anything else! Thanks again for your great service, it really did and does make a difference - too many businesses forget how important it is to do this well, but you have it down perfect! Thanks again, Kerry, New Zealand February 2013 |
Hello Lori,
The ring arrived safely after lunch.Luckily Jane was here to open it.
She loved it and it is not coming off!
Thanks for everything
Eileen
Kapiti Coast, February 2013
Sorry for the delay in responding. I am thrilled with the koru silver ring you made for me. It arrived in early January and my wife is very pleased to give it to me for my 65th birthday on February 3rd.
After all that measuring and guessing, the size is just about right. I'll be sure not to lose this one, especially because I'm getting the pattern from my lost Peter Minturn ring as an arm-band tattoo so if I lose your one I'll have to get that pattern on my other arm!
Thanks for the beautiful photo of your beach. However, I haven't got a good photo of the beach at our cottage/bach to share with you but you might be able to imagine white ice as far as can be seen across Lake Ontario. Right now we are "enjoying" minus 28 degrees Celcius. It makes us appreciate summer when it arrives, eventually, next May. But we are blessed with about 40 mute swans wintering over nearby and a few bald eagles to join the deer and occasional black bear wandering around the neighbourhood.
With thanks

Hi Lori, I received my peridot earrings and my resin leaf pendant for my birthday. They were beautifully gift wrapped. I'm loving my new bling and looking forward to wearing them this weekend!

If you live overseas and want to buy gifts for friends and family in NZ we would love to help - courier is free in NZ. |

Dear SilverStone Jewellery,
Thanks so much, the silver baby bracelet has arrived. I have looked around for one for my baby's 1st birthday, and this one was attractive as it's handmade and competitively priced too! I'm getting a little message engraved so she will treasure it even when it no longer fits. Thanks for a great, safe and quality service. Sarah OHOPE June 2012 |

Thank you so much for the bracelet!! It arrived yesterday afternoon and is a perfect fit. I'm really pleased with it. There are not many plain sterling silver expander bracelets for children. I was having trouble finding them when I found you on google.
I'm pleased that I bought through you and will definately be passing your name onto others. Thanks again Aimee :) New Zealand 2012 |

The blue synthetic sapphire baby bracelet is gorgeous!
The picture I first saw on your website does not begin to do justice to Alex's exquisite talent and artistry. The bracelet is so beautiful I think an inscription is unnecessary. I would not want to put such a beautiful piece in the hands of anyone else in the possible event it could be damaged. Sarah, USA, September 2011 |

SilverStone Jewellery made a wonderful job of transforming my favourite emerald and sapphire gold ring, which had broken. We wanted to add diamonds to it as well, to turn it into a new piece of jewellery. Alex drew up several designs, we chose our favourite one, and are delighted with the result.
Thank you so much. Jo Patrick Auckland, 2011 |
Thanks so much Lori, I just love your customer service and have been telling all my friends about it.Just a quick email to say thank you for the bracelet; I received it today and it looks amazing. My husband is wearing the bracelet and loves it.

Hi Lori,
Thankyou. The pendant arrived safely in today's mail. Its beautiful. Thankyou. Thankyou again. I shall enjoy wearing my piece of New Zealand shell. Its rather significant, because my husband has recently passed away, and our trip to New Zealand last October was our last holiday together. I bought jewellry for my daughter and daughter-in-law, and settled for a shell for myself, which had a little offcut of paua shell with a stretchy elastic band as a bonus, but its not near as nice as the piece I purchased from you. I can't believe how quick the delivery was, I think you are very efficient! Thanks again, Heather Australia, August 2011 |

Celtic Love Knot - handmade in NZ with prideI have always enjoyed dealing with Lori and SilverStone since we collaborated on bringing the foot pendant, earrings and spinning ring to their collection, based on an idea and discussion dealing with one of the running clubs I belong to.Since then, I have been hooked on their silver jewellery and keep a constant eye out for any new items, especially those that contain peridot as this is the stone my partner likes. Having attended some of their jewellery parties in Wellington, I started to find that I had most of their peridot items, well, my partner did. After sending some images I had found for a design that I liked to Lori, she showed them to Alex and he was more than happy to manufacture the Knot. With only having the images I sent to work off, when the finished pendant was couriered to me, I was more than pleased with the result, it was just as I imagined it would be. Once again I thank you for a beautiful job, and very well priced. Now I need to think about what the next item will be… Sincere Regards, Euan Slight & Sandra Kerr Tawa, Wellington June 2011 |

Hi Lori, I finally had the chance to open the package when I got home last night and after an incredibly stressful day. So it was great to have a treat. And the outfit I wore to the office today was chosen specifically to go with the ring which fits perfectly.
Many many thanks for this lovely creation. (We made this ring to order for CJ - based on a fairly loose description - needed wide tapered sides and some detail - great to know that we got it so right - thanks CJ) Best wishes CJ Wellington, August 2011 |
Dear Lori and Alex,
Just a quick note to say thank you very much for the lovely baby bracelet. It is absolutely gorgeous and looks adorable on her chubby little arm!
I hope she will be able to keep it and hand it down to one of her children one day.
Thank you very much for the earrings. I'll definitely be wearing them until Holly is old enough!
Thanks again. Cheers,

We were humbled by the response of the CBD business community, joining together to help those affected by the Christchurch Earthquake.

We have been impressed in the past with the quality of craftmanship of your jewellery and my wife's jewellery box will attest to that fact!
It certainly makes it easier for me to buy that "something special" for important birthdays and anniversaries.

This time your have surpassed yourselves - Hilary has received her birthday present I ordered from you - the stylised silver koru with ruby inset and wears it daily, attracting many queries as to its origin, so some business cards may be in order! A work of art that smacks of style .
And now the big "40th Anniversary Present" had me worried, that is until once again you came to the rescue and came up with the design for a bracelet using the "koru in line" theme with garnet insets - thank you for the e-mail picture - it looks magnificent, and look forward to you sending it over - and the payment didn't break the bank !!! We felt that such skilled craftmanship and friendly helpful service deserved some written recognition, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Sincere Regards John & Hilary McKay Adelaide Australia, March 2010 |
On behalf of the Lions Club of Greenhithe, I would like to thank you very sincerely for your participation at our recent Antiques Roadshow.
It was a very successful event on a number of levels and we are planning to build on what we learnt and do it again. All who attended had a great time, which was wonderful and bodes well for future such events.
The event would not have succeeded without the generous help we received, and we do sincerely acknowledge and appreciate it.

Thanks for being so good to us. We are really glad we found you guys!
Thanks again,
Meika, June 2010
It was a very successful event on a number of levels and we are planning to build on what we learnt and do it again. All who attended had a great time, which was wonderful and bodes well for future such events.
The event would not have succeeded without the generous help we received, and we do sincerely acknowledge and appreciate it.

Emma Loves Our Sterling Silver JewelleryI was never really one to wear much jewellery , then I fell in love with the jewellery that Lori and Alex design.I am someone who strives to be slightly different, whether it be through my choice of hair colour (currently red and black) or through the way I express myself with my clothes and accessories, and this range of jewellery allows me the freedom to express my individuality. Emma Thorpe, Auckland NZ, 2009 |
"I have enjoyed wearing Silverstone Jewellery since 2007 and I'm thrilled with my lovely custom made items and beautiful party pieces. I love the knowledge that what I am wearing is uniquely "me" as well as the great advice & speedy deliveries when I need a present for someone special... ("Feet" cufflinks designed for my runner husband... great!)
Thanks Lori & Alex - I'm just waiting to see the new designs!"

SilverStone Jewellery is one of my happiest finds of the year! The jewellery is stunningly beautiful and original and so easy to fall in love with. Lori is a true professional and delightful to deal with. The jewellery party that I hosted was great fun and totally relaxed. I would highly recommend it as a great way to get together and have some fun with friends.

Hi Lori,
I couldn't help sending you a note, as I wanted to thank you for your divine jewellery collection. I sent my sister your "Carved Shell Sterling Pendant" and she loves it, she loves nature created into jewellery and that she can wear it two ways.
Your company service was impeccable and your website is easy to follow. The pendant arrived very quickly after I ordered it, so I'm looking forward to buying more.
Many Thanks

Thank you very much for being a part of the 16th Great Greenhithe Tour 2009. The day was a wonderful success and without your help this would not have been possible. We raised over $20 000 for the kindergarten, which is a great achievement. This money will go towards repairing our leaking roof and extending our office space, as well as maintaining and upgrading learning resources for the children.
I hope the day was successful for you as well. Once again, on behalf of the Greenhithe Kindergarten I would like to thank you for being part of this fantastic event.
Wishing you a very happy Christmas

It is just perfect. I have been looking for something unique for over a year and finally I have found SilverStone Jewellery.
I am busy telling my friends about your baby bracelets. That is how beautiful I think it is. Hopefully you may get an order or two from my friends.

Thank you so much for re-sizing my gold ring. It fits perfectly and looks great. The ring has loads of sentimental value as it was my aunties ring, and just happens to be the same setting as my diamond engagement ring.

Some time ago I picked up a piece of Black & White shell on Tauranga Beach - fancied it could make a nice ring and held onto it. Then at a SilverStone Jewellery Party asked if this was possible. The result? A fabulous unique one off ring which I wear with pride!
Thank you.

Thanks for the beautiful bracelets. They are really lovely and much better than the bracelet I bought for my first daughter originally!
Really appreciate you getting them to us by Christmas. Have an excellent Christmas and new year. If you ever do jewellery parties down here let me know.
Kind regards

I have a distinct inbred (I blame my mother) love of jewellery. I met Lori (again I blame my mother) 3 years ago and fell in love with the jewellery that she and Alex design and make. I am someone who strives to be slightly different, whether it be through my choice of hair colour (currently red and black) or through the way I choose to express myself through my clothes and accessories.
SilverStone Jewellery definitely helps me to achieve this. I love the originality the jewellery offers me – from the way the jewellery hangs and moves, to the way it jingles and the way it just shines. I have never received so many compliments about my jewellery as I have since I started wearing SilverStone.
As a teacher (my other job) I love the practicality of the jewellery. It’s made to last and made to be worn. There is so much choice from the one off ‘stunners’, to the day to day ‘look lovely and feel lovely’ pieces.
Lori has taught me a lot about looking closely at myself and appreciating what looks stunning, what looks ‘ok’ and what are the no-nos!
I guess it was therefore inevitable that I started working with SilverStone Jewellery so that I could share the ‘wisdom’ with other women. I love the buzz I get when I see someone walking away from my stall or from a party with a piece that I know she will wear to death and always feel fabulous in and I get a great sense of pride when I see them wearing it months later. My business with SilverStone has also allowed me to grow and develop in many areas. And when the new collections arrive!! – the ooohs!, the ahhhhs! and Oh Mys! just keep on flowing! And there is so much to choose from that no-one ever need fear they will miss out.
Emma Thorpe,
Consultant with SilverStone Jewellery 2009

I have been purchasing SilverStone Jewellery since 2004, when SilverStone was launched. I started with a bracelet and earrings, then choker, then dangler, buying one or two pieces at a time to make the set.
This was my summer set of pearl shell. So when winter came along I needed another set and chose cowrie shell this time buying a dangler for the choker and earrings to match later.
I also have bought other individual gem pieces which are my mix and match favourites. When I wear my SilverStone Jewellery I feel great as I know it is quality jewellery and has style. People often comment on the uniqueness of the jewellery - which is a great compliment to SilverStone. Please feel free to contact me if you require a verbal reference.

Thank you for the beautiful pendant I received for speaking at Her Business Networkers, Hibiscus Coast last night. I was so impressed!
Usually the speaker is lucky to get a bunch of flowers which fade in a few days, so a quality piece of jewellery was such a beautiful surprise.
I’ve been wearing it all day today with much pleasure and know it will be one of my favourite things. When people comment on it, as I’m certain they will, I’ll be sure to mention SilverStone Jewellery’s name. Warm best wishes.

I’ve hosted two SilverStone parties both in December for the past two years with the sole intention of getting myself a Christmas present from my husband! Its now becoming an annual expectation with my friends as well.
Both evenings ended up being such great social gatherings and my husband has always been amazingly generous because he’s seen how different and beautiful the jewellery actually looks like when it’s tried on.
I’ve never had a problem getting friends to come along because they’ve seen me wearing SilverStone pieces and everyone’s keen to see and try on for themselves. I’ve got a friend hosting a party this next week and I’m actually quite jealous it’s not me!
The whole concept of trying on jewellery with a bunch of friends giving honest feed back, encouragement and advice is so much fun and Lori knows all the pieces so well that she’s absolutely excellent at recommending what she thinks will suit. I’ve also had friends that have had people comment on their jewellery and they are always quick to let me know. I really look forward to hosting my next party.

I just adore SilverStone jewellery. It's great having something beautiful and original to wear. Each piece is so different and I love the fact you can buy a silver "collar" and then just add different pendants to create totally different looks, as well and buying earrings, bracelets and rings to match, if you want.
Caroline

After going to a couple of Lori's parties, I decided to have my own party and it was heaps of fun getting my friends around for a few glasses of wine and some nibbles and having a look at all the jewellery. I never feel like there's any pressure to buy anything - it's just a nice girly afternoon!
Prior to the day, Lori spent some time with me organizing a suitable date and time, after which invitations were sent to me to pass onto my friends. I sent the invites well in advance to ensure all my friends had plenty of time to organise their families and therefore attend the party.
Some 20 plus ladies made it on the day and I believe this to be a direct result of plenty of warning and also my follow up the week before.
We had a wonderfully successful day with Lori presenting a huge variety of products for sale.
My friends commented on the brilliant quality and reasonable prices offered and I have no hesitation in recommending the products myself.
Lori was very pleasant to deal with and most professional, arriving well in advance to set up and also offering eftpos and credit card as a convenient way for my guests to purchase any items they wanted. I wish her all the very best in growing her business and am looking forward to adding to my own SilverStone Jewellery collection in the future.

"It was with trepidation that I decided to do a "jewellery party", I had never been particularly interested in the concept...imagining costume jewellery that everyone had already seen.
Within 5 minutes of Lori arriving I knew we were in for some serious shopping. The jewellery was stunning, unique, high quality and plentiful...there would be no fighting over pieces! The day was a great success and the 30 friends I invited turned up .
The afternoon quickly became evening by which time everyone had experimented with the jewellery - the hard part being - not finding something we liked but deciding which of the pieces we could not live without - most of the girls left clutching a wee treat for themselves. I would definitely do it again. It was a great excuse to get together and we are all still marveling over our purchases. Thanks to Lori for fitting in as one of the group."

I’ve hosted two SilverStone parties both in December for the past two years with the sole intention of getting myself a Christmas present from my husband! Its now becoming an annual expectation with my friends as well.
Both evenings ended up being such great social gatherings and my husband has always been amazingly generous because he’s seen how different and beautiful the jewellery actually looks like when it’s tried on.
I’ve never had a problem getting friends to come along because they’ve seen me wearing SilverStone pieces and everyone’s keen to see and try on for themselves. I’ve got a friend hosting a party this next week and I’m actually quite jealous it’s not me!
The whole concept of trying on jewellery with a bunch of friends giving honest feed back, encouragement and advice is so much fun and Lori knows all the pieces so well that she’s absolutely excellent at recommending what she thinks will suit. I’ve also had friends that have had people comment on their jewellery and they are always quick to let me know. I really look forward to hosting my next party.

I just adore SilverStone jewellery. It's great having something beautiful and original to wear. Each piece is so different and I love the fact you can buy a silver "collar" and then just add different pendants to create totally different looks, as well and buying earrings, bracelets and rings to match, if you want.

After going to a couple of Lori's parties, I decided to have my own party and it was heaps of fun getting my friends around for a few glasses of wine and some nibbles and having a look at all the jewellery. I never feel like there's any pressure to buy anything - it's just a nice girly afternoon!
Prior to the day, Lori spent some time with me organizing a suitable date and time, after which invitations were sent to me to pass onto my friends. I sent the invites well in advance to ensure all my friends had plenty of time to organise their families and therefore attend the party.
Some 20 plus ladies made it on the day and I believe this to be a direct result of plenty of warning and also my follow up the week before.
We had a wonderfully successful day with Lori presenting a huge variety of products for sale.
My friends commented on the brilliant quality and reasonable prices offered and I have no hesitation in recommending the products myself.
Lori was very pleasant to deal with and most professional, arriving well in advance to set up and also offering eftpos and credit card as a convenient way for my guests to purchase any items they wanted. I wish her all the very best in growing her business and am looking forward to adding to my own SilverStone Jewellery collection in the future.

"It was with trepidation that I decided to do a "jewellery party", I had never been particularly interested in the concept...imagining costume jewellery that everyone had already seen.
Within 5 minutes of Lori arriving I knew we were in for some serious shopping. The jewellery was stunning, unique, high quality and plentiful...there would be no fighting over pieces! The day was a great success and the 30 friends I invited turned up .
The afternoon quickly became evening by which time everyone had experimented with the jewellery - the hard part being - not finding something we liked but deciding which of the pieces we could not live without - most of the girls left clutching a wee treat for themselves. I would definitely do it again. It was a great excuse to get together and we are all still marveling over our purchases. Thanks to Lori for fitting in as one of the group."
