Jewellery Afrika curated brand Tuesday's Child Jewellery is making waves!🌊

Sea view!

This Saturday is World 🌍 Ocean Day - a day to celebrate and take action for our oceans and continue to grow involvement year-round.

"Tuesday’s Child Jewellery’s affinity and bond with the ocean, and its incredible flora and fauna, inspires us continually - 365!" says Jane Merrifield, founder and the creative force behind the brand. "The ocean is one of my most magical catalysts in creating unique pieces of jewellery; and its incredible beauty and diverse marine life serve as a boundless source of inspiration: from the fluid motion of 🌊 waves and shapes of sea 🐙creatures to the intricate patterns of 🐚seashells and coral."🪸

pièce de résistance from Tuesday's Child Jewellery We love!

pièce de ré·sis·tance -
an outstanding item or event: SHOWPIECE 🌟

And at Tuesday’s Child Jewellery we’re proud to present yet another of our ‘pièce de ré·sis·tance’ creations.

Jane Merrifield, the owner and creative force behind Tuesday’s Child Jewellery, shares a passion for art deco with the client for whom this exquisite piece was designed. Crafted from sterling silver, it features opal as the centerpiece, complemented by black resin and marcasites.

"The process of fitting the different layers together and ensuring everything lines up perfectly and evenly during soldering for this pendant was really intense," says Jane who also enthuses “It's the best feeling when a big project finally comes together!”

Today we’re dazzled by this specially-commissioned, bold, standout ring created by Lynda Marion Jewellery. The piece features 110 of the client’s old diamonds with the addition of a few more.

“The piece was fashioned from a wax mould and then cast in non-tarnished sterling silver’” says Lynda. Oxidised silver gives the ring a unique elegance, accentuating its details and shape with the darkened patina. We love!

We discovered Cape Town-based M-Studio (.studio1996) and this one-of-a-kind, brass and silver necklace.

"It may look like we've used a stone in the center, but it's actually 10g's of 925 Sterling Silver that we've melted straight into the bezel," say M. Studio.

We love!

PlatAfrica 2024 entries now open!

This year’s theme – 'Legacy and Beyond, exploring expressions of what we leave behind'. What spectacular creations will this year’s entrants conjure?

2024 marks 100 years since Dr Merensky unveiled a treasure trove of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) in the Bushveld Igneous Complex, adding to the allure of 2024’s theme.

Hosted annually by Anglo American Platinum (Anglo American) in partnership with Platinum Guild International India (PGI India) and MetCon South Africa, PlatAfrica is a flagship initiative for the industry and is intended to champion innovation and technical expertise in platinum jewellery design and manufacturing, leveraging South Africa’s position as the largest producer of platinum in the world.

Entries from professional and student jewellery designers are now open, with participants asked to take inspiration from this year’s theme: Legacy and beyond.

Over the years, the competition has been a platform for professional and emerging designers to showcase the beauty and versatility of platinum in jewellery craftsmanship.

The competition features three prize categories: professionals, apprentices and students, as well as the People’s Choice award, where the public will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite jewellery piece. In addition to prize money, winners stand the chance to be considered for participation in an international design sourcing process in 2025.

Metal requests should be submitted as soon as possible and final requests must be received on or before 3 June 2024. Participants must submit their design pieces by 26 July 2024.

Adjudication will take place in August 2024.
