Our impact

Discover Granger Bay

A new stretch of Cape Town’s Atlantic coastline is being opened up to the city. Over the next 15 to 20 years, this R20 billion-plus development will bring new homes, hotels, jobs, public space and a protected bay for swimming, kayaking and boating. A 540-metre seawall will help protect the coastline, while a new coastal walkway will connect the V&A directly to the Sea Point promenade.

African Designs specialises in handcrafted jewellery created from ethically sourced gemstones and precious metals.

My pieces are unique. Each piece of jewellery gets a personal touch and they are all one of a kind. I create heirloom pieces, to last you a lifetime and then pass them onto your loved ones. The work begins with a stone and from there the jewellery is built. The price is determined by the quality of the stone. I use the highest qualities of ethically sourced gems, and the gold is Fair Trade gold. Most of the work is done in 22 Karat gold as it showcases the gemstones, however, I love to co-create pieces with my clients. Many of my clients bring me heirloom pieces that they wish to remodel. I have frequent online sales.
