Over 124 years, we have learnt a thing or two.
As an NZ family owned business, Walker & Hall feel grateful to have been part of some of the most special celebrations of New Zealanders for 124 years. Although we have been around for a long time, we continue to develop and grow, always with a focus on providing quality jewellery pieces that will represent love and achievement for a lifetime, and onto the next.
You may already be familiar with us and what we do, but we are sure we can share something with you that is new and exciting. From understanding how we come to offer the best quality diamonds and gemstones, to understanding the 1899 difference.
Take a closer look and we know you will see what makes a piece from Walker & Hall so extraordinary.
The Hallmark of Quality.
Our signature 1899 Collection is a celebration of our heritage; Walker & Hall was established in New Zealand in 1899.
Crafted in superior quality metals and featuring high clarity accent diamonds, a design from the 1899 Collection is a piece you will be proud to treasure for generations to come.
Looks better for longer | Superior durability | Hypoallergenic
When creating white gold, white coloured metals are mixed with pure gold to create an alloy. Rhodium plating is then used to give a whiter, brighter finish. Over time, particularly on rings and bracelets, this plating will wear off revealing the base colour of the alloy underneath.
Palladium is the premium metal for mixing with pure gold to make white gold as it gives a whiter base colour, a better lustre, and it is hypoallergenic.
Our 1899 18ct white gold used in rings has an exceptionally high palladium component, being at least 50% of the alloyed metal used, along with no nickel. This high standard of quality results in an improved durability and appearance over a longer period of time compared to other white metals, and ensures it is suitable for all skin types.
We have full confidence in recommending our 1899 white gold as the best material for any rings you want to last a lifetime, and through the next.
We go above the grade | Details make a difference | Trust in integrity
Gemmology is a very specific field of expertise with many years of involvement and practice required to build the necessary knowledge base. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) was the first to create standardised diamond grading (The 4Cs; Colour, Clarity, Cut and Carat weight), which gave customers confidence in what they were buying as they were able to make easy value comparisons. GIA remains the leading global standard for gemmological grading, research and education.
Diamonds are carefully studied to ensure we select those which represent the finest within each grade.
