What we do
we make pieces that exist nowhere else
Every piece begins in our Johannesburg workshop. We draw, cast, set and finish our jewellery ourselves, rather than sourcing ready-made pieces from elsewhere. It’s a hands-on process that gives us the freedom to create something that exists nowhere else.
Custom design
Bring a photograph, a sketch, or nothing but an idea. We draw it, agree the stones and the metal, and quote before anything is made.
Remodelling
Bring in a piece that no longer gets worn and we will redesign it into something you reach for. Existing stones can usually be reused.
Craftsmanship
Made in our own workshop, in gold, platinum, palladium and silver, to the specification we agree with you.
Repairs and sizing
Resizing, repairs and stone work, on pieces we made and on pieces we did not. Bring in anything that needs attention.
Where Heritage Meets Elegance.
