Can You Order Fine Jewellery from New Zealand to Australia?

Australian clients can commission bespoke fine jewellery from Layla Kaisi Collection's Auckland atelier and have the finished piece delivered to Australia. Through virtual consultations and direct correspondence, clients work with the designer to develop a piece shaped by their individual intentions and design preferences.

Each commission is handcrafted in Auckland, with international delivery arranged upon completion. This also involves understanding currency conversion, shipping arrangements, and any applicable import charges. 

New Zealand offers a distinctive setting for luxury acquisition, where multicultural influences, a thriving creative landscape and a commitment to craftsmanship shape contemporary design. 

The House: Layla Kaisi Collection

Layla Kaisi Collection is a sculptural fine jewellery brand at the intersection of philosophy, art and design. 

The house is guided by the belief that adornment is a form of language that words cannot convey. 

Each singular one-of-a-kind fine jewellery piece is a study in the architecture of meaning, in history, and in the ways the immaterial can be rendered visible.

The work explores fluidity in form where designs hold tension between balance and asymmetry, between negative space and detail.

The wearer is invited to fold into their own biography and future legend, articulated in each piece worn.

 

How Can Australian Clients Commission Bespoke Jewellery from Layla Kaisi Collection?

Australian clients can work directly with Layla Kaisi Collection through virtual consultations and correspondence, allowing the commission to develop without travelling to Auckland.

The process begins with a private consultation to establish the intention of the piece and the direction of the design. From there, the house develops exploratory concepts, refining the aesthetic and structure through an exchange of ideas with the client.

Precious stone selection forms an integral part of the process. Each stone is assessed for its individual character, proportions, and suitability within the intended composition, informing the direction of the final design.

Once the composition is established, the house crafts the piece in Auckland before preparing it for delivery to Australia.

How Is Bespoke Jewellery Shipped from New Zealand to Australia?

Completed commissions are prepared for international delivery from Auckland to the individual's Australian address.

Fine jewellery is shipped via FedEx or DHL, with full insurance, tracking and signature required on receipt. High-value pieces are shipped through Ferrari Group for door-to-door white-glove delivery.

Each shipment requires appropriate export documentation detailing the jewellery and its declared value. Upon arrival in Australia, the bespoke piece is subject to the relevant customs requirements, including any applicable import charges and clearance procedures.

Shipping and insurance arrangements form part of the practical considerations surrounding an international commission, with the relevant details established and organised by Layla Kaisi Collection well ahead of dispatch.

 

Are There Australian Import Duties on Jewellery from New Zealand?

Australian import duty may apply to fine jewellery arriving from New Zealand, depending on the piece's tariff classification, country of origin and eligibility for preferential treatment under applicable trade agreements.

For international commissions, Layla Kaisi Collection provides guidance on the applicable requirements and arrangements before the work proceeds, giving clients greater clarity around delivery and potential import costs.

Does New Zealand GST Apply to Jewellery Exported to Australia?

Fine jewellery commissions shipped directly from New Zealand to Australian clients may qualify for 0-rated New Zealand GST, subject to the applicable export requirements.

The New Zealand standard 15% GST rate does not apply for Australian clientele. Prices for qualifying exports are therefore quoted exclusive of New Zealand GST.

How Does NZD to AUD Currency Conversion Affect the Cost?

Bespoke commissions quoted in New Zealand dollars are subject to currency conversion when an Australian client makes payment in Australian dollars.

The final amount depends on the exchange rate applied by the relevant bank or payment provider. Foreign transaction and conversion fees may also apply, with the rate potentially varying between instalments.

The quotation currency, payment schedule and accepted payment methods can be established at the outset of the commission. This provides a clearer understanding of the financial arrangements alongside the design and delivery process.
