We exist to craft distinct and appealing jewellery, and it has been that way since our founding in 1979 when Michael and his wife Christine opened their first store in the New Zealand town of Whangarei, some 100 miles north of Auckland. We’ve grown dramatically since then. We now have over 300 jewellery stores in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. But one thing hasn’t changed and never will: we think about you and the reasons behind your purchase – designing timeless pieces that bring out your best. That’s why we remain one of the few jewellery retailers that have an in-house team of master craftsmen – dedicated to creating your future heirlooms and keepsakes while continuously perfecting their craft. For over 35 years we’ve shared our vision locally and globally and we’ve earned the reputation for quality jewellery along the way. At Michael Hill International, you're a part of creating special moments - using a human touch and dedication to our craft that puts a sparkle in her eye. Like the pieces in our collection, we find each employee unique – with valuable insights and ideas – and we pride ourselves on building long-lasting careers by promoting from within. The time you put into designing, selling or sourcing treasured pieces is appreciated and rewarded. And as a company that shares our talents, we encourage our employees to visit and learn from one of our locations across New Zealand, Australia and Canada. .
