About Us

Introducing Matthew Hides of Diamond Mine, Christchurch

As a third generation Christchurch jeweller, I pride myself on my workmanship. I have over 30 years experience as a qualified manufacturing jeweller and am a member of Jewellery and Watchmakers New Zealand.

I invite you to contact me  to see samples of my work, browse the ideas book and discuss with me creating your handmade custom engagement ring, wedding ring, wedding band, necklaces, trophies, key rings and jewellery boxes.

If you would like a piece of jewellery made bring along your samples, ideas, pictures or scribbles. We can sit down together to sketch out a design you will love.

Once you are happy we have captured your heart’s desire, I can create a mock-up so you can see how your jewellery will look before you make the final decision to have it created.

When you are sure your jewellery will be perfect, I’ll source the best quality materials, locally if possible, or re-use materials you supply. I am a perfectionist and will only present to you a piece I would be happy to purchase myself.

Please visit the contact page for details on how to contact me.
