Gold By Nature

Every piece of gold is unique, no two stones the same.

Hi, I’m Fergus Laidlaw, the jeweller and owner of Gold By Nature. I have spent many years prospecting for precious gold nuggets, unearthing hidden treasures through gold panning and detecting.

I have an affinity with the natural beauty of NZ and now leverage my creative side to turn the riches of the Earth into quality, affordable jewellery you can wear every day.

Born in Dunedin, I began exploring the goldfields when I moved to Western Australia in 1990. With rare natural gold nuggets in my possession, you could say I had caught a little ‘Gold Fever’. The rough edges and shapes of the nuggets resonated with me; each piece unique.

After returning to NZ, I continued gold prospecting in Reefton on the West Coast. Eventually, I realised that I wanted to share this precious metal and Gold By Nature was conceived.

Now, I create cherished pendants that connect you to the land Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Gold Panning

Gold panning is a passion of mine. I can prospect for hours in blistering heat or freezing cold water just to spot that glimmer and feel the excitement of finding a nugget of gold.

Crafting Each Piece

Using natural materials creates harmony in my jewellery. The gold and stone make the jewellery – I am just the facilitator who carefully designs and crafts the pendants.

Searching For Stones

I comb beaches to find stunning stones that are refined by the churn of the ocean over time. I leave these stones in their natural condition to highlight the beauty of nature.

Take One Home

I love nothing more than seeing people enjoy wearing a piece of
New Zealand. The essence of Aotearoa, New Zealand is in every piece I make.
