From Our Hands to Yours

The Story Behind Jewellery Design.

Our Founders

Founded in 1993 by Gail and Roger Bowering, JD has grown from a small Northland workshop into a destination for considered, contemporary jewellery. Guided by curiosity, craftsmanship, and an eye for enduring beauty, our family has spent more than three decades designing pieces that feel both deeply personal and beautiful.

Gail and Roger, alongside their daughters and a dedicated team of master jewellers, bring three generations of expertise and a shared passion for creating pieces that are treasured for a lifetime.

Crafted with intention.

Designed to be worn for a lifetime.

Our Studio

Today, our Whangārei studio continues that legacy - blending traditional bench-jewellery techniques with a modern design lens. We are proudly independent, intentionally small, and deeply connected to the clients who choose us.

Within the warm and inviting design studio, guests are encouraged to explore at leisure - browse the exclusive collection or discuss ideas for bespoke jewellery with our knowledgeable team. Every question is welcomed, every conversation approached with care.

At JD, the choice is yours: select a striking piece from our cabinets, or collaborate on a custom creation designed just for you. Every piece carries Gail and Roger’s personal guarantee, ensuring your purchase is made with confidence.
