ABOUT
TOROS JEWELLERY
Toros Jewellery is a bespoke jewellery studio specialising in engagement and wedding rings.
Each piece is custom designed and handcrafted in precious metals, created to reflect your story and last a lifetime.
– Uniquely You.
Who are we?
We started Toros Jewellery with a simple belief that jewellery should mean something, and that the experience of creating and wearing it should be just as meaningful.
Not just something beautiful, but something deeply personal. We believe the pieces you wear, especially engagement and wedding rings, should tell your story and mark life’s most significant moments with intention.
That is why we focus on designing engagement and wedding rings in precious metals only, crafting each piece by hand at the bench with care and precision. Custom matters to us because no two people are the same, and your jewellery should reflect that.
Our pieces are created to last a lifetime, built with strength, sturdiness, and lasting quality so they can be worn every day and passed down for generations.
What makes us different?
What makes Toros Jewellery different is that every piece is once off and never mass produced.
Our jewellery is mostly handmade and worked on the bench, not simply only cast and finished, meaning there is real skill and a personal touch in every stage of its creation.
Each design is created with intention and built to last a lifetime, made solid and strong with careful thought given to every detail.
We believe jewellery should carry meaning and hold memories, not simply follow trends.
Our process is personal and centred around the experience of purchasing, offering one on one service from consultation to completion so that every piece feels considered, significant, and uniquely yours.
Our Process?
Our process begins with a personal consultation where we take the time to understand your vision, style, and story.
From there, we design your piece with careful attention to detail, sourcing the right diamonds or gemstones to suit the concept.
Once approved, your jewellery is handcrafted at the bench in precious metal, shaped and finished by hand with precision and care.
The final piece is presented ready to be worn, built to last a lifetime and created to hold meaning for years to come.

Some highlight moments
Every chapter has played a part —
These moments mark the journey that turned dedication into Toros Jewellery founded in 2023.
The Beginning
An Unexpected Beginning
I originally planned to study graphic design, but I was accidentally assigned to jewellery design.
The first time I walked into the workshop and saw jewellers working with metal, fire, and traditional tools, something inside me shifted. I immediately knew this was where I belonged.
That unexpected moment became the beginning of my journey into jewellery making.

The Journey to Toros Jewellery
My journey with jewellery began long before Toros Jewellery officially launched. It started with a love for creating and working with my hands, selling pieces at weekend markets between 2015 and 2017 and discovering how meaningful jewellery can be when it connects with people.
Over the years, important moments helped shape the path — from being recognised at the Anglo American PlatAfrica Awards in 2019 to sharing my knowledge as a part-time lecturer at Stellenbosch between 2020 and 2024.
In 2021, I built my first jeweller’s bench, marking the beginning of my own workspace and a step toward independence. After years of refining ideas and planning the business, Toros Jewellery was officially founded in 2023.
Since then, the journey has continued to grow — from the first packaging and photoshoot to studio renovations and attending international industry events such as the Jewellery Couture Show in Las Vegas.
Each moment represents a step forward in building Toros Jewellery into what it is today: a brand rooted in craftsmanship, dedication, and jewellery that is uniquely personal.
