I started Unik Jewelery and handcrafts in 2007. I am a naturally creative person and do graphic design & editing for a local video production
company in the mornings. I needed to expand on my creativity base and also had to keep my hands busy when I quit smoking. All the extra
energy and creativity just flowed and led to the start of a new venture for me. It was after trying various arts & craft projects that I settled on jewellery
making and beading as I found it to be the most stimulating.

I find inspiration in magazines, the internet, TV and in my surroundings. If I see something different
I try to make something similar and new ideas flow from there!

The concept behind Unik is to stay unique & exclusive. Each item is handmade by myself and only one-of-a kind is made. I can make
them similar, but always use different beads and colours! I also design according to your needs!

I have a studio at my home in Gonubie in the Eastern Cape . I offer bead classes in the afternoons. I do all my own packaging &
graphic design. I love to personalize my items!
