Inspired by hours spent getting to know Antique Cape Furniture in the said department at Auction House Sotheby’s/Stephan Welz & etc, I decided to do a jewelry range based on the key-plates found on grand old pieces of Cape Furniture. These escutcheons, made from brass and sterling silver, are smaller versions of the original and combine traditional hand-cut work with laser technology.
You too can be a piece of history, guarding all sorts of secrets by wearing the small metallic Escutcheon above your Heart.

Completely gorgeous, now how do I buy one?
I like the swirly one, its a conundrum, when wearing them, will people offer keys?
Mikey, I love these! But I’m not going to be in Joburg for Fashion Week. How do Cape Town girls get their hands on them?
These are amazing Michael! Want, no rather need one now!
Wow, gorgeous necklaces. Love them!
Your pendents are very beautiful!
I adore the keyhole pendants!!!
