Richard

Since we started W&W, my role has been to guide the business and ensure that every piece of jewellery that bears the W&W hallmark is truly exceptional. I am certainly proud of the incredible pieces and bold designs we have brought to life over the years.

I dedicate a lot of time to our clients, working on every detail of their bespoke jewellery commission. My goal is always to create the very best original piece of jewellery and I love being challenged by an “impossible” idea!

Simon

Richard and I are the third generation of our family to be in jewellery and have worked full-time in the business for over 20 years. So there is a significant amount of experience between us as well as an in-depth working knowledge of the industry.

My role involves working closely with our clients and really listening to what they are looking to achieve, as well as giving tailored advice to ensure we deliver a piece that is uniquely right for each person.

I also look after the financials and HR for the company, but as a business owner there isn’t much you don’t get involved with!

Best Experience: The six months I spent working at a school in Cape Town really helped shape me

Favourite kind of party: Fancy dress!

Describe yourself in three words: Family, Cricket, Hockey

Narell, Jewellery Design & Marketing

As jewellery designer at W&W Jewellery I blend artistic flair with technical skill, transforming our clients’ ideas into unique bespoke jewellery that truly encapsulates their style and story.

An experienced gemmologist, I also have a vast knowledge and appreciation of diamonds and precious gemstones – a skill which enhances many of my custom jewellery designs.

Ultimate gemstone: Colour-change sapphire

Best advice you’ve ever been given: ‘Zelf nadenken’ which is Dutch for ‘think for yourself’

Describe yourself in three words: Curious, Authentic, Observant

Ashleigh, Production Co-ordinator and Sales and Marketing Assistant

My role at W&W is extremely broad and requires me to wear many different hats. I source diamonds and gemstones and liaise with our goldsmiths and workshops, plus I am responsible for sharing any enquiry that comes through the door with the team. I also quality control every single piece of bespoke jewellery we create to ensure our clients receive only the highest standard.

Inspired by: The world around me – I love to travel!
