✨ Karen and Ken have been with us since the very beginning of Jewel Beetle in 2004. Loyal customers like them truly make our work special. 💛
When Ken was searching for the perfect birthday gift for his wife, he knew exactly what would make her smile — a pair of gold drop earrings with garnet cabochons to complement the ring we crafted for her over a decade ago.
Yvon brought this vision to life with a pair of elegant, timeless drops that capture their story beautifully.
💍 Here’s to jewellery that celebrates love, loyalty, and life’s milestones.

No, we haven’t whisked ourselves away to the islands for a photoshoot — this stunning image was sent to us by a happy customer! 💌✨

He gifted his girlfriend a pair of our bespoke Bird of Paradise earrings, handcrafted in a beautiful combination of yellow and white gold. She wore them during a magical sunset in Fiji — and this photo captures the moment perfectly. 🌺🌅

Each element of these earrings was carefully designed and made in our Nelson workshop, inspired by the vibrant colours and elegant form of the bird of paradise flower. We loved bringing this special piece to life — and seeing it worn with such joy makes it even more rewarding.

Unfortunately, not all claims go smoothly—and many aren’t settled in full due to lack of documentation, underinsurance, or policy fine print. We’ve written a helpful blog post to raise awareness and help you prepare before it’s too late. Please take a moment to read it—and feel free to share it with friends and family.
