The Pretoria Social Market


Meet The Choker that I made with pleated fabric material and gold plated silver.


I used cotton to create that clothing feel to it. The aim was to make a jewellery piece that feels like it is part of your clothes but also stands out as a jewel to adorn the neck, where most clothes don't reach.



I love to work with models that take their fashion to extremely unusual levels but also keep the ethnic african look.
