 Two very excited jewellery designers, Andreas & Patrizia

as part of the “Focus on Fashion & Jewellery” Programm organised by the Cape Quarter, ANPA opens a one week - one of a kind exhibition at the Cape Quarter boutique:

ANPA GEM MANIA - “Focus on Beaded Gemstone Jewellery”

Join us for light refreshments or an inspiring glass of bubbly from the 19th to 23rd of May (10h00 to 18h30), when we will be displaying an extraordinary collection of new, exciting beaded jewellery designs created from precious gemstones, silver - and gold beads.

A mountain of beautiful loose, drilled, and faceted gemstones will also be showcased to create your own designs from. A gemstone and beading professional will be at hand to demonstrate the ins and outs of beaded jewellery making to help you realise that perfect piece of gorgeous beaded jewellery.

Of course a selection of stunning finished products of various designs will be available at special prices!!!

…and we are totally in love with it. We started to have stones cut in this unusual way in June last year, made some outrageous pieces and the response was overwhelming - hey, you love it too!

Its great to stock those stones again. We offer a large selection of “lotus-cut” loose gems in clear quartz and smokey quartz in our gemstone shop in Kalk Bay. Different sizes, shapes and variations of the original pattern - its all there. Both jewellery shops at the Cape Quarter and Kalk Bay stock a small range of ready made rings in silver and silver-gold combinations.

Total indulgence!

Wow! We have purchased some stunning drilled tourmalines. A lot of thick tubes in dark pinks, thin facetted tubes in olive or peppermint green, watermelon tourmaline cabochons…..

Truly beautiful stones that we are busy turning into unique beaded necklaces - some are already on display, some to be finished.

So if you are a tourmaline fan, give us a call if you wish to see photos or to find out which store holds what design!

we went on short trip to the northern cape and of course could not resist to search for unusual minerals. We brought back a fine selection. Part of the collection is already on display in the Gemstone Boutique in Kalk Bay.

It again and again amazes me what unique, unbelievable minerals and gems can be found in the Northern parts of South Africa… 

I am really excited to announce that we have the most stunning seed pearls available (so hard to come by these days). All of them have great lustre, are close to perfect round and range in size from about 1.5 to 3mm. Soon there will also be some finished necklaces and bracelets.

 Stay tuned!
