Theophora NZ is looking for bridal industry and jewellery trade partners across New Zealand. Explore collaboration opportunities with Teleia and Kosmae.
At Theophora, we believe beautiful things deserve more than one life. We value small-batch craftsmanship, thoughtful restoration, and finding new uses for quality materials that might otherwise be discarded. We're building connections with Christchurch and New Zealand businesses who share our appreciation for considered design, craftsmanship, and more sustainable ways of working.
Teleia creates bespoke heirloom brooch bouquets and floral crowns for brides who want something truly personal - incorporating vintage jewellery, family treasures and meaningful pieces into one-of-a-kind bridal accessories.
We're looking to connect with bridal boutiques, designers, wedding planners and event stylists who share our appreciation for beautiful, considered and enduring design.
Showroom Collaborations | Display a Teleia piece in your boutique and give your brides the opportunity to experience our work in person.
Referral Partnerships | Introduce your clients to Teleia when they're looking for a bespoke alternative to traditional bridal flowers.
Styled Shoots & Editorial | Collaborate on creative shoots, bridal showcases and editorial projects.
Bespoke Collaborations | Work with us to create accessories designed to complement your gowns, collections or styling concepts.
Our pieces are handcrafted in Christchurch and designed to live beyond the wedding day.
For the bride, it's an opportunity to carry something meaningful down the aisle - and keep it forever.
For our industry partners, it's a beautiful way to offer clients something distinctive and highly personal, without adding another product line to your business.
We're building a select network of Teleia partners across New Zealand. Sessions with brides currently take place in Christchurch; partners elsewhere introduce us to their clients, who book their consultation with us directly.
Vintage jewellery with more life left in it.
Kosmae gives pre-loved jewellery a second life through cleaning, simple restoration and creative reimagining.
But sometimes we acquire pieces that are too valuable to discard, yet outside our skills to repair or transform - broken settings, missing stones, specialist repairs and pieces requiring skills or equipment we don't currently offer. Rather than let them sit unused, we sell these pieces on to jewellers and jewellery specialists who have the skills to give them another life.
Repairable Vintage Pieces | Jewellery that needs specialist repair or restoration beyond our current capabilities.
Broken or Incomplete Jewellery | Pieces with valuable settings, components or materials that may be useful to an experienced jeweller.
Vintage Stones & Components | Where suitable, individual elements that could be restored, repurposed or incorporated into new work.
Access unusual vintage stock | Source interesting pre-loved pieces and components that aren't readily available through conventional suppliers.
Find value in the overlooked | Some of the most interesting materials are found in pieces that are no longer wearable in their original form.
Support circular jewellery practices | Keep valuable materials, craftsmanship and history in circulation rather than sending them to landfill.
Create a new supply relationship | We can offer suitable pieces to specialist jewellers rather than discarding stock we cannot use ourselves.
If you're a jeweller or jewellery specialist interested in purchasing vintage pieces for repair, restoration or salvage, we'd love to hear from you.
