“What sets The Jewellery Village apart from other jewellery companies is its commitment to local manufacturing.
“While nearly 90% of jewellery sold in SA is imported, The Jewellery Village produces 90% of its pieces locally. Each design is unique and handcrafted by talented SA jewellery designers,” said Nkosi.
Their local focus reflects their dedication to uplifting local talent and supporting small businesses in the industry.
She added that their goal is to reach local and international communities with their products.
Reflecting on how her journey shaped her brand, Nkosi said that her experiences had greatly influenced the identity and design of her brand.
