Crafted for a Lifetime — Bespoke Engagement Rings by Marc Bendall
An engagement ring is more than a piece of jewellery — it is a deeply personal symbol of love, commitment, and the life you’re building together. At Marc Bendall, we specialise in creating bespoke engagement rings that capture the unique essence of your relationship.
With over four decades of experience in fine jewellery design, Marc brings exceptional craftsmanship and quiet elegance to every ring he creates. From the initial sketch to the final polish, every detail is thoughtfully considered and meticulously handcrafted in our Christchurch studio.
Whether you’re seeking a timeless classic or something entirely original, we’ll guide you through a collaborative, stress-free design process — offering expert advice on diamond rings, gemstones, settings, and styles. The result is not just a ring, but a one-of-a-kind expression of your story — made to be worn, treasured, and admired for generations.
Jewellery Remodelling — Honour the Past, Create the Future
Jewellery carries stories — of love, of legacy, of life’s milestones. At Marc Bendall, we specialise in remodelling existing pieces into timeless new designs that honour their sentimental value while transforming them into something truly personal.
Whether you’ve inherited a family heirloom, have an outdated setting, or simply want to breathe new life into a cherished piece, we bring decades of experience and sensitivity to the process. Working closely with you, Marc will reinterpret your jewellery using the original stones and metals wherever possible, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.
The result is more than a beautiful new piece — it’s a meaningful continuation of your story, carefully handcrafted for today and tomorrow.
Master Jewellery Designers — Distinctive by Design
At Marc Bendall, jewellery design is an art form guided by precision, creativity, and deep respect for craftsmanship. As one of New Zealand’s most respected fine jewellery designers, Marc brings a refined design sensibility and over 40 years of experience to every piece.
Our design philosophy is simple: create jewellery that is elegant, enduring, and uniquely yours. Whether you're dreaming of a custom engagement ring, a reimagined heirloom, or a bespoke piece to mark a milestone, our design process is entirely collaborative — led by your vision and shaped by Marc’s expertise.
From concept sketches to hand-selection of diamonds and precious gemstones, each design is thoughtfully developed and handcrafted in our Christchurch studio. The result is jewellery that speaks of individuality, quality, and timeless beauty — made to be worn, remembered, and loved.
Jewellery Repairs — Restore with Confidence
Even the finest jewellery can show signs of time and wear. At Marc Bendall, we offer expert jewellery repair services that restore the beauty, integrity, and wearability of your most cherished pieces — without compromising their original character.
With decades of experience in fine jewellery craftsmanship, Marc personally oversees each repair, from delicate ring re-sizing to complex stone re-setting or structural restoration. We approach every piece — whether it’s an heirloom or a favourite everyday ring — with care, precision, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
All repairs are completed in-house at our Christchurch studio using traditional techniques and the highest-quality materials. You can trust that your jewellery is in skilled, experienced hands — and that it will return to you looking as exquisite as the day it was made.
