All About US =)

Via Sollertia is Latin and means, “The way of expertise, skillfulness, artfulness and dexterity.” In the Ecclesiastical sense it is pronounced Vee-a Sol-ler-tae (tay), and in the nominative (naming) sense, it is Sol-ler-tia (tee-a).

We source, stock and sell diamonds with AGS, GIA, IGI, GemLab, CGL, UGL, EGL and GemLink certificates to suit each clients unique needs, and our world-wide network of suppliers ensures that we can find the perfect gem, just for you. Our world class Diamonds, include many examples of arguably the most perfectly cut diamonds of all, the stunning Hearts & Arrows Ideal Cut Round Brilliant, and also a selection of coloured gems unequalled in this region.

We are also one of only two exclusive New Zealand stockists of the Lili Diamond Range  Lili diamonds

We also sell "Amore" Diamonds.

We offer a very personal design and creation service, “walking” our clients through the process, including helping them to choose the diamond or jewel which is perfect for them. We also have a large range of existing designs, and provide a comprehensive repair and maintenance service.

We also have a comprehensive stock of pearls, ranging from the superb Autore South Seas and Tahitian collection to Cook Islands, Japanese Akoya and Chinese Freshwater.

We would love to have a chat with you at our store, located at 149A Victoria Street.

Gift Vouchers

Gift vouchers and or Gift Exchange vouchers are available upon request.

Valuations

We strongly recommend that if you have relatively valuable gold and/or platinum jewellery, that you have it re-valued / updated every 4- 5 years. We can give you a quick check to see if your valuation needs updating. This will also help to prevent any nasty surprises from your insurance company should you need to make a claim.

There is only one valuing company in New Zealand which remains totally Independent, and completely free of conflicts of interest (selling and valuing diamonds), and this is why we recommend Gemlab for the more complex or high value valuations.  Gemlab is the most tursted Valuer in New Zealand.
