Crafting a Fine Jewellery & Engagement Ring Legacy in Stellenbosch, Cape Town

The story of Ring Artisan began with a little girl’s fascination for all things precious and sparkling. The founder’s lifelong passion for gemstones and jewellery design started in early childhood, when she would dress up in her mother’s jewels, captivated by the elegance and mystery of each piece. As a teenager, her talent blossomed into a hobby, creating custom jewellery for family and friends through word of mouth. Although she initially pursued a different career in agriculture, her first love for jewellery remained strong, leading her to launch Ring Artisan in 2019.

Today, Ring Artisan is celebrated as a premier, trusted jewellery and engagement ring designer in South Africa, known for captivating designs and exceptional service. With a flagship store in the heart of Stellenbosch and a robust online presence, the brand has attracted a loyal following, including celebrities and high-profile individuals. Ring Artisan continually pushes boundaries, offering clients cutting-edge services like 3D printed ring models to visualise and approve designs before crafting. Whether you're envisioning a classic or custom engagement ring, Ring Artisan brings dreams to life with expertise, passion, and a unique flair that has captured the hearts of clients across South Africa.
