Rowena Watson Jewellery
Rowena opened her store in 1993 in the Christchurch Arts Centre. The store was originally known as Beadz Unlimited and until the Christchurch earthquakes, the jewellery was made all around the world.
After those dreadful days post-2010 & 2011 earthquakes, it became very important to support Christchurch as much as possible by bringing all the manufacturing back home. It was also important to be as sustainable as possible and to create a new identity that is more reflective of who we are as a business.
So in 2021, we became who we should have always been, Rowena Watson Jewellers.
We can create your jewellery by hand but we can also do CAD design. Our handmade jewellery can incorporate your own gemstones to keep all of the memories intact from the original piece, which is particularly relevant for family heirlooms..
We have two lovely goldsmiths working for us in Christchurch. At the store, we have Georgia who is our manager, as well as our sales assistant Jax. Rowena works full-time from home selecting stones and designing and making jewellery..
You could say we are a truly small and local business with a great love for our community, our city, and our country. We are proudly unpretentious and approachable, so feel free to reach out to us any time!
