Brent Sutcliffe, the master craftsman behind Sutcliffe, has jewellery in his blood. Brent’s father was also a master jeweller and set up Sutcliffe Jewellery 1968. However, prior to taking over the family business Brent moved to London to further craft his skills, during this time he entered and won the prestigious British Goldsmiths Craftsmanship and Design Awards, competing against 700 British jewellers, he walked away with the industry’s top honours: Jeweller of the Year. We are now lucky to have Brent back in New Zealand, handcrafting bespoke jewellery, and as a member of The Luxury Network.

The Luxury Network New Zealand hosted an interactive precious stone workshop at Sutcliffe Jewellery for an exclusive group of clients. Brent educated us on how precious stones are valued and how stones, looking fairly similar, can differ so much in price. The group had a lovely time trying on the beautiful jewellery and viewing newly arrived precious stones that will be turned into bespoke pieces for their lucky owners. This was a fun event accompanied by champagne and canapes, it is fair to say, we will be back!
