I thank the Good Lord for blessing me with a good sense of insight, crafty hands and a hint of artistry. All this made me want to create beautiful things. I was very fortunate to be introduced to the jewellery industry as apprentice goldsmith after a very eventful military service at the age of nineteen in 1989. Three years later I earned my red seal as qualified goldsmith from Olifantsfontein.

After several years of working as senior goldsmith and workshop manager at several jewelers, I decided to setup my own workshop, where my main objective became to manufacture high quality and well-crafted pieces at affordable prices.

With a combination of quality and craftsmanship, one can create the perfect piece of jewellery. I believe what sets me apart from other goldsmiths is not only my interest in jewellery but also what can be done to bring uniqueness to every piece. Not only can unique pieces be designed, it can be crafted in different shades of gold, some of which is formulated by me.

Jewellery pieces should have body and depth to allow shape and shadows to bring forth its value and beauty.

I pride myself in providing a number of services, which include design, manufacture and repairing of all fine jewellery pieces. I am committed to excellence.
