The pieces in 2022 Masterpieces collection not only reflect the artistry of American Swiss designers and the exceptional skill of its craftspeople, but the way in which it has embraced innovation to offer jewellery featuring the greatest selection of sustainable stones in SA, including conflict-free natural and lab-grown gems. 

The brand offers stones you won't find elsewhere, such as Ocean Flower diamonds, locally sourced from the seas of the Northern Cape. Hand-crafted by Kwame Diamonds — the world’s first all women-owned diamond-cutting company — these diamonds are prized for their cut: they have 67 facets in honour of Nelson Mandela's legacy.
