Introduction:
I started designing jewellery in 1994 because I felt it is part of my gifts in the field of Art and Fine art. Since 2002 I have been running my own business with great success. Many customers ordering from London, Scotland, Australia and all over South Africa.
During the past few years I have been specializing in manufacturing handmade pieces. These hand sculpted individual pieces are made with great precision and love.
Qualifications:
In 1998 while studying at Tswane University of Technology I was chosen as a finalist in a National Jewellery Designing Competition. My piece was exhibited in South Africa, Italy and Australia, I then went on to participate in numerous Jewellery workshops.
From 2008-2013 I trained the next generation of Jewellery Designers and Manufacturers at the Central University of Technology in South Africa. This was a huge privilege that I really enjoyed.
During 2011 I also finished my Bachelors Degree in Jewellery at the Tswane University of Technology. In my studies I focused on Symbolism in Jewellery, specifically the Christian Cross motif. You can look at some of the degree work on the ‘Jewellery For Studies’ page.
In the beginning of 2015 I was employed by the Mining Qualification Authority of South Africa at the Seda Platinum Incubator in Rustenburg to do assessment on the students at the training facility. This was a wonderful challenge.
Personal Information:
Something very dear to me is my wife and daughters. With a foundation built on honesty and trust, my customers can be rest assured that their jewellery is in safe hands.
