At Rene Honeyman Jewellery, our vision is to harness South Africa’s abundant raw materials and skilled labor to create bespoke, high-quality jewelry that proudly represents our nation. While South Africa has all the gold for Africa, it lacks qualified goldsmiths. Therefore, we are committed to sourcing and producing every aspect of our pieces locally, from design to raw materials to the final product.

Our founder, Rene Honeyman, has been a passionate figure in the jewelry industry since her apprenticeship began in 1995. Her love for the manufacturing process and personal client connections led her to establish a jewelry academy in 2008, ensuring the ongoing training of skilled goldsmiths in South Africa. Throughout our journey, we have upheld values of family, skills transference, branding, and giving back, with Rene’s dedication to teaching ensuring that the “trade secrets” of the industry are preserved and passed on.
