Silver Jewellery Online
Brought to you by Something Special jewellery,
Silver Jewellery Online has been delivering quality wholesale silver jewellery to retailers in South Africa since 1982. With a range of superb silver jewellery, their elegant designs have a wide appeal. So if the sound of making a statement with a stellar silver piece sounds like your thing, you know what to do. And while you're at it, have a look at the gents' options — they're staggering!
Pichulik
This is a brand known for bespoke statement jewellery.
Pichulik was started in 2012 by Katherine-Mary Pichulik, following a trip to India, so needless to say, her designs are heavily influenced by her experiences there and her travels to other countries. She understands and celebrates the intimate relationship between women and jewellery – something that shines through in all the statement pieces. So whether you love the Indian, Moroccan or South African elements, there's an item waiting to speak volumes on your behalf.
Ants Gallery
If you prefer clean and minimalist designs, then you need to check out
Ants. It's a platform where lovers of fashion, design, home furnishings and art meet, collaborate and showcase their talents. What better way to celebrate this union than by rocking a stellar statement piece from them? We especially love their neckpieces, in which the designers played with different materials and textures you wouldn't think could be combined. Their imagination is astounding.
Stefni
Stefni is perfect for someone whose boldness lies in subtly. Their pieces aren't as large as the typical statement pieces we're used to but they are always aesthetically pleasing with simple designs. The combinations of materials are fascinating and absolutely flattering, even for ladies with short necks who can't wear chunky pieces. Stefni specialises in one-off handmade jewellery, however, they also welcome commissions, exhibitions and collaborations.
Kirsten Goss
If you're a former Stellies student or resident, you might already know this local favourite,
Kirsten Goss. After studying jewellery design, she worked in London and then came back to open three stores in Durban, Cape Town and our beloved Johannesburg. She has been featured on TV shows such as
Top Billing and has definitely made her mark in the jewellery industry. Her collections are handcrafted, piece by piece. Best still, not only are her pieces bound to make a statement, they are also collectables, suitable to pass down from mothers to daughters to granddaughters.
Tinsel Gallery
Fancy yourself some modern art? Try contemporary jewellery from
Tinsel Gallery on for size. Nothing makes a bolder statement than exhibiting the finest, one-of-a-kind, handmade jewellery on yourself. You're basically a walking gallery and the most elegant kind. If you need to find something urgent for a last-minute occasion, then have a look at their permanent collection. Alternatively, keep an eye on their exhibitions during the year.
