Jewellery reimagined: BL Jewellery

When beloved broadcaster Miriama Kamo wanted to breathe new life into treasured jewellery, she turned to Christchurch jeweller Brett Liddle.
This particularly meaningful project saw Brett handmake a ring that would connect Miriama to her late father – a piece created to hold his memory in a modern contemporary style. “Jewellery carries our history,” the founder of BL Jewellery says. “I love taking pieces that have been forgotten or tucked away and turning them into something modern, wearable, and deeply meaningful. When a piece holds emotional weight, like Miriama’s, the transformation becomes incredibly special.”
With more than 30 years at the bench, Brett has built a reputation for remodelling and creating one-off designs with a highly personal approach. As an independent, self-employed jeweller, every remodel begins with a conversation – a collaborative design process where clients can share the sentimental history and ideas for their new creation.
From inherited rings and broken chains to a single earring looking for its mate, Brett sees potential in every piece. His focus is on reusing existing gold and stones wherever possible, creating pieces that honour the past but can be made to reflect your current style. “Statement pieces that can be passed onto future generations,” he explains.
Using existing materials not only keeps things sustainable, it’s a clever way to add value with gold on the rise. Rather than ending up with something mass-produced, you walk away with a one-of-a-kind piece crafted just for you – the type you can’t find on a store shelf. Recognised for creating one-off designs from sentimental and inherited pieces, Brett brings artistry, precision, and attention to detail to every remodel. If your jewellery is ready for its next chapter, get in touch with Brett on 027 636 6209.
Sometimes the best new piece is the one you already own – it just needs to be reimagined.
