In this episode of The Kiwi Wedding Podcast, I chat with Aamina from Layaz Jewellery about creating meaningful, bespoke pieces that are as personal as the love stories behind them.

We explore her journey from teaching to launching her own jewellery brand, her favourite gemstones, and the timeless luxury she brings to every design.

We chat about:

💜 How Aamina went from aspiring lawyer and teacher to launching Layaz Jewellery and sharing a family legacy

💜 The process of designing bespoke pieces tailored to a client’s story, style, and personality

💜 Tips for choosing engagement rings and wedding bands that suit your lifestyle and long-term investment goals

💜 Aamina’s love of coloured gemstones, sapphires, and creating heirloom-quality jewellery

💜 Insights on lab-grown diamonds versus natural gemstones and why legacy matters in fine jewellery

💜 Creative ways couples have added personal touches to their rings, from engravings to incorporating heirloom gold

💜 The future of Layaz, including Dare to Dazzle by Layaz, and expansion to the USA

...and so much more!
