Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I am SO happy I stumbled upon TP Goldsmiths when I was searching online for a jeweler that sells New Zealand Blue Pearls! As a US resident, these blue pearls are not sold in the USA and I was delighted to find Tracie and her shop. Not only is she very prompt at getting back to you with information, but she is so wonderful to work with and so nice!! She has so much talent and vision with different designs I would send her. She ended up making four custom pieces for me - earrings, ring, bracelet and necklace. They all look exactly how I envisioned them and wanted them to look! She did such an excellent job designing them! Amazing quality pieces, reasonable prices, friendly prompt service. It was a delight to work with Tracie and I'm so happy I found this shop online! Whenever I make my first trip to New Zealand I'll be sure to include a stop here in my itinerary!!

Tracie and her staff repaired a damaged gold ring with cracked non-precious stones and came up with an imaginative and beautiful solution. The result was a multi colored cloisonné separated by thin gold bands. Since I was in Hokitika for a few days Tracie mailed the finished product to New York without any problem! We were very pleased by the workmanship and the service!

Tracie helped us to replace a lost NZ jade stone in my wife's ring by providing us with a small selection of suitable chips - at a VERY reasonable price. She's a cheerful, happy and knowledgeable lady with a wonderful attitude. Call in if you're in Hokitika, you won't be disappointed.

If ever you go to Hokitika, Westland. New Zealand. Look for the Blue Pearls. They are made from seeding the Abolone or Paua. It takes about 3 years for them to be harvested. The colours of the pearl are a mixture of blue, green, violet and pink colours. .The colours are amazing. If you do not go look for TP Goldsmiths to supply you. I wanted to match a pendant so contacted Tracie Piec y. Wonderful service. She contacted her suppliers who sent some matching earrings, which I chose over the IPad. They have arrived, beautifully made. ABSOLUTELY SATISFIED.

If you are a visitor to the coast you cannot help but get caught up in he history and nostalgia of the place. If you really want to take home a piece of the coast go to TP Goldsiths and check out the stunning pieces made with local gold. I was lucky enough to spend some time on the coast and collect enough gold to have made a very personal and special ring, if you are just passing through take a piece with you. A true conversation piece and something ou can where forever to remind you of a truly special place.
This is my favourite place in the whole world and I feel very privileged to carry a piece of it with me every day.

TP Goldsmiths is fantastic! Tracie is magnificent. Professional, friendly and is amazing at what she does. Tracie managed to re-size my engagement ring within 2 hours and at a very reasonable price. My fiancé and I are extremely happy and it feels wonderful that the ring now fits! Thank you so much. Highly recommended to all those who visit the beautiful town of Hokitika, New Zealand.

Tracie’s, skill at transforming our dream, into reality, really brought the importance of having skill and passionate tradespeople, consolidating years of craftsmanship in creating our slice of Kiwi art. We now have the pleasure of having these two rings with us forever more.
We can’t thank you enough, Greg & Jasmyn.

Tracie had been recommended to us by the owner of a jade jeweler in Greymouth.She helped us through the process of developing an idea of our wedding rings with little pieces of original New Zealand jade.She did some great work,the rings turned out just like we wanted them.It was a pleasure to meet Tracie and we can highly recommend her!

We wandered into this small gallery on a rainy day whim and ended up several hundred dollars lighter! I found a gorgeous pair of pearl earrings that I've been looking for for years, and my husband found a unique wedding band to replace his deteriorating 37 year old original. Both were a total, and delightful surprise. Our "play money" ran out long before our wish list did. This is a must stop in Hokitika. Artist Tracie sized the ring for us while we had coffee near by! Such service and such fun to buy directly from the artist herself.
