Our Story

Quality Without Compromise

Nura Lab was born from a simple belief: beautiful fine jewellery should feel exceptional, meaningful, and attainable without compromising on craftsmanship.

Jewellery with Purpose

In 2025, after many conversations and deep reflection about the jewellery industry, Nura Lab was founded with a simple vision: to make exceptional fine jewellery more accessible without compromising on quality, craftsmanship, or design.

That vision became the beginning of Nura Lab — a brand created for people who want exceptional quality, thoughtful design, and a piece they can feel proud of, without the traditional price barriers often attached to fine jewellery.

Built on More Than a New Idea

While Nura Lab launched in 2025, our experience did not begin there.

Our journey into jewellery began long before Nura Lab.

Nura Lab is built on a foundation of craftsmanship, industry expertise, and a genuine passion for fine jewellery.

Our team combines decades of hands-on experience across jewellery design, manufacturing, stone setting, repairs, custom creations, and quality control.

Over the years, our jewellers have worked with clients across New Zealand and internationally, creating pieces that celebrate life's most meaningful moments with lasting quality and attention to detail.

This experience, combined with a commitment to continual improvement and innovation, continues to shape everything we do today.

Before Nura Lab, our team was already deeply involved in fine jewellery through our sister brand, Raphana Jewellery, specialising in natural diamond jewellery and bespoke craftsmanship.

What We Stand For

The Nura Lab Difference

Accessible Luxury

We believe affordability should never mean sacrificing beauty, craftsmanship, or lasting quality.

High Standard Craftsmanship

Every piece is created with careful workmanship, precise finishing, and close attention to detail.

Thoughtful Stone Selection

From lab grown diamonds to moissanite and gemstones, we focus on stones that deliver both beauty and value.

Quality Control

Our team maintains high standards throughout production so each piece arrives with complete peace of mind.

People First

Our mission is not simply to sell jewellery, but to help people celebrate meaningful moments with confidence.

Global Perspective

Our international roots and industry background help shape a brand that balances refinement, value, and trust.

Craftsmanship

Backed by Experience

Our jewellers are highly experienced professionals, with some bringing more than 30 years of industry expertise. Throughout their careers, they have worked with some of the jewellery industry's most respected names, including Cartier, Harrisons, and other leading jewellery houses.

That experience matters. It means every ring, pendant, bracelet, or custom piece is handled by professionals who understand fine jewellery standards, precision workmanship, and the level of care required to create something truly lasting.

For us, craftsmanship is never an afterthought — it is the foundation of everything we do.

“Our goal has never been just to sell jewellery. It is to create something meaningful, with quality people can genuinely trust.”

— Yamaji Family, Founders

Our Approach

People, Quality, and Peace of Mind

Nura Lab is built around people — the people wearing our jewellery, the people creating it, and the people behind every conversation, every design, and every final polish.

We know that buying jewellery, especially an engagement ring, is deeply personal. It should feel exciting, reassuring, and memorable. That is why we hold ourselves to high standards from the first enquiry through to the final finished piece.

Our workshop is kept clean, calm, and focused because we believe great work is created in an environment that values pride, care, and precision. Every piece goes through careful quality control so our clients can feel confident in what they receive.
