VINTAGE VIRTUE JEWELS
       ANTIQUE, ESTATE & VINTAGE • MMXXV       

My name is Elizabeth Stewart

I’m a private estate jeweller based in Christchurch, New Zealand, with a particular love for jewellery that feels as beautiful to wear as it is to look at. Originally trained as a pharmacist, and with a master’s degree in industrial and organisational psychology, my career has always revolved around meticulous detail, integrity and care — qualities that now underpin everything I do with fine vintage and estate pieces.

​

What began as a quiet personal passion soon became something more: in my spare moments I found myself searching the world for jewels with real character, researching their history, craftsmanship and provenance, and learning everything I could about them. Over time, I realised that this aesthetic pursuit — the joy of discovering pieces with soul and understanding the stories behind them — was where I felt most at home.

​

Today, with a licence to provide private estate jewels, I source, research and curate exquisite pre-adored jewellery for a small circle of clients. Each piece is carefully authenticated and thoughtfully chosen — not only for its beauty and story, but also for its contribution to a more sustainable future. Pieces are accompanied by detailed notes, and most are sold with valuations so that you know what you are buying — and why it matters.  By giving exquisite jewels a new life, I aim to offer jewellery you can cherish and trust: beautiful, considered, and responsibly chosen, ready for their next chapter with you.
