Steiner Atelier is a fine jewellery studio and workshop in Whangamata, located on High Street in the seaside town. Run by Nathan Steiner, the atelier creates bespoke jewellery, repairs and restores modern and antique pieces, and helps customers explore ideas for meaningful, enduring designs. Customers can bring sentimental jewellery or stones to be restored or transformed into new pieces, preserving family materials as modern heirlooms. Nathan works with clients throughout the design process, shaping their ideas into individually crafted jewellery, including engagement and wedding rings.

The atelier’s recent work includes bezel-set sapphire and diamond rings, as well as a handmade 20-carat yellow gold chain created by melting down family gold and incorporating five diamonds in platinum settings. Repairs are handled with care and attention to detail, including challenging restorations of treasured pieces. Steiner Atelier also offers advice and adjustments, and invites customers to visit the store or get in touch by phone or message to discuss jewellery needs and custom requests.
