Every girl deserves to treat
herself every now and then and what better way then some gorgeous jewellery.
I'm not one for a whole cupboard of jewelley and I definitely prefer to have
one or 2 amazing pieces that I can mix and match and play around with.
Of course, Local is Lekker and I'm
all about supporting local South African brands, but I know it's not always
easy to find local businesses especially online - sometimes I'm tempted to just
buy something off Wish (Which isn't ideal - I'd prefer a local small business
getting my support). So just in time for mothers Day, here are some local small
businesses you can buy a gift from (Or just treat yourself girl!).
High-end Jewellery
These aren't even just for more
of a splurge - every girl deserves some high-end quality pieces. Especially now
that I'm growing up, I find that I'd rather spend a bit more money and get
something timeless that I can wear often and feel proud of.
Legacy Collection by Charmaine Taylor
I was introduced to Charmaine
Taylor's Legacy Collection last month (with their collaboration with Pongrácz)
and the story behind it absolutely captivated me, especially with it being
Freedom Day on the 27th of April - each Legacy Collection piece is named in
honour of South Africa’s struggle to democracy.
Also, you can make your purchase knowing that 10% of profits are donated
to sustainable employment projects in South Africa. My favorite is the Africa
Rising pendant - it has the outline of Africa with a unique, raw piece of fence
running through the Africa shape.
In recognition for statement pieces, Pongrácz has
collaborated with Charmaine Taylor. Her jewellery pieces are designed to be
worn with intent, to raise awareness of the environment and human rights and
have been celebrated for their striking designs. Best known for her jewellery
formed from the repurposed historical prison fence from Robben Island, this
latest collection custom-made for Pongrácz tells the story of being bold,
fearless and individual. Each set of earrings is hand weaved and no two will be
exactly alike, making them truly individual.
Mid-range Jewellery
Because we're not balling just yet.
Della Online
Designed locally is Della
Jewellery. Brainchild of by Pippa de Charmoy, classic lines, quality
semi-precious stones and fine craftsmanship ensure that all Della creations are
distinctive and utterly unique.
Della makes the perfect mid-range
gift that won't break the bank but is still amazing quality. The packaging is
beautiful and makes it feel like you're getting something totally exclusive. It
comes in an elegant black box packaging in a little bag with the Della logo. I
still kept the packaging because I love it as much as the actual jewellery! The
earring collection is the most extensive with unique, colorful pieces that have
stunning precious stones. You can purchase pieces on the Della website.
