For over 125 years, Walker & Hall has been at the forefront of fine gifts in New Zealand, offering exclusively natural diamonds alongside other stunning natural gemstones. Our Managing Director, Joe Tattersfield, a GIA-certified gemmologist, is deeply committed to sourcing and using these timeless gems to craft pieces that will last generations and symbolise genuine luxury.
Unique Stories
Natural diamonds, formed billions of years ago under immense pressure and heat, are among Earth’s most remarkable creations. To touch something older than dinosaurs, formed deep within the Earth, is truly incredible. Each diamond carries a unique story from the past, making it not just a jewel, but a connection to history and mother nature.
Natural diamonds are one-of-a-kind, with a unique formation process and journey exemplified in the inclusions that make each one as individual as a fingerprint. These inclusions not only tell the diamond’s origin story but also mirror the human experience—shaped by time and circumstance. Much like purchasing an original artwork over a print, the true value lies in its authenticity.
Our Commitment & Expertise
Our commitment to responsible sourcing ensures that our diamonds are ethically sourced, in compliance with the Kimberley Process, and are conflict-free. Beyond their beauty, these diamonds have an extensive positive impact on economic and social development, as much as 80% of the value of rough diamonds circulates within local communities through local purchases, employment benefits, social initiatives, building of schools, hospitals, roads and more.
Joe Tattersfield’s expertise ensures that our diamonds are chosen not just for its appearance, but for brilliance and value. “You could be looking at two diamonds with identical gradings across the 4Cs – but the price could be 30% different. There is a reason for this, and we have the expertise to find diamonds that perform well optically while representing true value.” he explains.
Natural diamonds hold sentimental value far beyond their physical attributes. They represent personal connections and become cherished symbols of love and legacy—whether marking a milestone or passed down through generations.
In a world filled with imitations, Walker & Hall remains committed to providing authentic, meaningful natural diamonds that continue to stand as the ultimate symbol of luxury. Discover more about natural diamonds and Walker & Hall's commitment to sourcing them on our Why Natural Diamonds page.
