Enjoy.Today.
Seeing the beauty in the original and
respecting historic craftsmanship, I wish to highlight the value of
original design.
My resources are history and the latent design beauty in all found objects.
I started creating from a very young age and grew up in a wonderful, "Robertson Crusoe" kind of family.
We were always encouraged to be creative, inventive and adventurous and were continually shown the beauty which is so clearly around us and in us.
Before starting my jewelry, I studied Environmental Management and worked for many years in Non-Governmental agencies and other Social Development Programmes.
Now life has taken me on a different path and I am so enjoying creating beauty from the mundane.
I live in the beautiful seaside village of Hermanus and am surrounded by natural beauty and inspiration. I live with my beautiful husband in a happy and busy home, working full time to create and sell my wearable pieces of history.
Through my jewelry, I wish to create pieces which you will enjoy today.
I hope each piece will be a happiness to the wearer - pieces which will always be treasured for their original design and for their refound value and beauty.
Enjoy life.
Enjoy beauty.
Enjoy today.

Your creations are a beautiful. Who would have thought something so lovely could be created from a simple teaspoon. I have eyed your rings at the market, and recently saw an article in the "Woman and Home" or was it the "Home" magazine. Only then did I realise you live down the road from me. I have had my eye on a "tree of life" pendant at a jeweller shop, but since seeing your designs, I would much rather choose something from your selection. Absolutely amazing. Desre Dempsey Onrus.
