Bespoke

Layla Kaisi Collection is a New Zealand-based fine jewellery atelier creating sculptural, architectural fine jewellery recognised internationally for its distinctive design language and one-of-one pieces.

The difference lies in how the work is created. Each piece begins directly with Layla and is developed as an individual design in response to the client, rather than selected or adapted from an existing collection. There are no templates, no seasonal frameworks, and no production-led design systems. Every piece is built from the ground up with a focus on architectural precision and artistic vision.

This approach results in fine jewellery that is not only bespoke in process, but distinctly recognisable in outcome. Each piece carries a clear design identity shaped by LKC's design language, ensuring the final work feels intentional and singular.

Clients work directly within a highly considered private design process that prioritises clarity, collaboration, and creative direction from concept through to completion. This level of direct engagement is what defines the studio's output.

Notably, LKC pieces have also gained international visibility and have been worn by globally recognised artists and public figures, including Selena Gomez, Cardi B, Christina Aguilera, and Jennifer Lopez.

Layla Kaisi is a highly acclaimed, award-winning jewellery designer and founder of Layla Kaisi Collection, a luxury bespoke jewellery house based in Auckland, New Zealand.

Known for creating highly regarded high jewellery and fine jewellery, her work is defined by sculptural form, refined proportions, and an emphasis on narrative through form. Layla's story and pieces have caught the attention of both the global fashion industry and international celebrities.

Every bespoke piece is guided by her creative vision and developed with the intention of creating fine jewellery that feels both contemporary and enduring.

Layla Kaisi Collection atelier is based in Auckland, New Zealand and works with clientele worldwide.

Private in-person consultations are available by appointment at the Auckland atelier, while virtual consultations allow international and remote clientele to work with Layla Kaisi Collection easily regardless of time zone.

Every bespoke piece is designed by Layla Kaisi and brought to life by Layla Kaisi Collection in Auckland, New Zealand.

Bespoke fine jewellery is jewellery designed and created specifically for one individual. Unlike ready-made pieces, a bespoke commission begins with a blank canvas, allowing every element of the design to be conceptualised for the client, from design layout and composition, to precious stone curation and precious metals, creating each detail down to the granular level of design.

At Layla Kaisi Collection, every bespoke piece is shaped through a private collaborative design journey, resulting in fine jewellery that is uniquely personal to its wearer.

The completed work is a biography, a history, and a future, held in one piece; drawn from who you are, and the way you move through the world.

Bespoke fine jewellery offers a level of individuality and creative freedom that cannot be found in ready-made or custom pieces.

Rather than selecting from an existing design, clients are involved in shaping a piece that reflects their narrative, aesthetic preferences, and intentions.

The result is a piece of deep personal significance, created exclusively for its wearer and impossible to replicate elsewhere.

Bespoke commissions include:

• High Jewellery and Collector pieces
• Engagement rings
• Wedding rings and wedding bands
• Statement rings
• Cocktail rings
• Double-finger and three-finger ring designs
• Sculptural cuffs and bangles
• Necklaces and pendants
• Earrings
• Bracelets
• Fancy coloured diamond jewellery
• White diamond jewellery

The LKC bespoke process allows for complete creative freedom. Each commission is approached as a unique creative endeavour shaped around the client and the LKC vision.

Every bespoke commission begins with a private consultation, either in person at the Layla Kaisi Collection Auckland atelier or via virtual correspondence for international clients.

The initial conversation explores the purpose of the piece, design preferences, precious metals and stones, and investment considerations. From there, the design is developed through a considered process of conceptualisation, stone curation, technical development, and craftsmanship.

Once approved, the piece is handcrafted and finished to the highest standards before being presented to the client.

A bespoke fine jewellery commission typically takes between three and six months from initial consultation to completion.

Timelines vary depending on design complexity, precious stone sourcing requirements, and production considerations. Clients planning engagements, weddings, anniversaries, or significant occasions are encouraged to begin the process well in advance.

Bespoke commissions at Layla Kaisi Collection begin from $10,000 NZD.

The final investment depends on several factors, including precious stone selection, precious metals, design complexity, scale, and craftsmanship requirements. Following the initial consultation, clients receive transparent guidance regarding investment before proceeding with the piece.

Because every piece is unique, no two bespoke projects are valued identically.

Layla Kaisi Collection works exclusively with premium precious materials selected for their exceptional quality and beauty.

Bespoke commissions are crafted using solid 18-carat yellow, white, or rose gold, as well as platinum. Each material is selected according to the client's preferences and complementary to the design.

Layla Kaisi Collection sources and curates natural diamonds, fancy coloured diamonds, and exceptional precious stones including sapphires, emeralds, and rubies through a trusted international network of partners, selecting only stones that meet our exacting standards.

Layla Kaisi Collection is committed to responsible sourcing practices.

LKC works with trusted partners who adhere to the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, an international initiative established to prevent the trade of conflict diamonds. The goal is to provide clients with confidence in both the quality and provenance of the stones selected for their commission.

Layla Kaisi Collection will only work with diamonds and precious stones that have been sourced by the house.

However, subject to LKC discretion, heirloom precious stones that hold personal significance can be incorporated, preserving their history while giving them new expression.

Every stone is carefully assessed on an individual basis to ensure it is suitable for the proposed design and capable of achieving the desired outcome.

Layla Kaisi Collection works with clients internationally. Many bespoke commissions are completed entirely through virtual consultations for global clientele, offering a seamless and highly personalised experience irrespective of location.

Layla Kaisi Collection regularly assists clients planning surprise proposals and understands the importance of discretion throughout the process.

Private communication, flexible consultation arrangements, and discreet logistics help ensure the process remains confidential until the proposal takes place. For couples who wish to balance personal involvement with surprise, it is not uncommon for both partners to attend an initial consultation together before one partner assumes ownership of the commission, allowing preferences to be explored while preserving the significance of the proposal itself.

Guidance can also be provided when ring sizing information is unavailable, helping ensure a seamless experience from conception to proposal.

The bespoke journey begins with a private consultation.

During this conversation, your ideas, inspiration, desired stones, timeline, and overall vision for the piece is discussed. Whether you have a fully formed concept or only the beginnings of an idea, the consultation provides the foundation for a thoughtful and highly personalised design process.
