Since 1999, Kim Cloete has specialized in hand-crafted, once off, individual jewellery pieces in gold and platinum that are designed and manufactured especially for the client.
“I believe that the design of a special piece needs to represent and compliment the wearer completely. Together with my client I work to achieve that – and even more, to fulfill their very expectation of what the piece should be. Time is spent to unpack their individual likes and dislikes both of the person and their choice of design, taking great care to discover their individual needs and personality.
The entire process is a journey that we take together to discover what will suite the very character and personality of the person who will be wearing the article. It is such a precious and personal occasion when someone has something made for themselves – and it needs to be a special process.
It’s about personal attention, detail and good execution; a creation of sweeping lines and angles that are truly beautiful.”
We offer: Design, Manufacture in platinum and gold, Sourcing of all precious and semi-precious gem stones, Remodeling, Repair, Valuation certificates, Refining of old gold.
There is more to jewellery than just adornment. It’s an accurate representation of a personality and a style. Jewellery must be adored and enjoyed to the fullest.
