About Us

Goldgem Jewelers began with a dream and a bold decision. In June 1980, a young man on the path to becoming a lawyer took an unexpected turn. He realized that his passion lay not in the courtroom but in the craft and beauty of fine jewelry. With unwavering dedication and the support of his loving wife and children, he opened the doors to Goldgem Jewelers on Victoria Street - Kwa Zulu Natal.

From day one, he poured his heart into the business, working tirelessly to create a trusted name in the jewelry world. His commitment to family values and hard work helped Goldgem Jewelers grow into the reputable family-owned diamond and gold business it is today. Over the years, we’ve stayed true to our mission: to offer high-quality, exquisite pieces that mark life’s most precious moments.

Four decades later, we continue to uphold the same principles that built our foundation—integrity, craftsmanship, and a deep connection to our customers. At Goldgem Jewelers, every piece tells a story, and we’re honored to help create yours.

A GLIMPSE OF GOLDGEM JEWELERS EARLY 1980's

This is how Goldgem Jewelers looked in its early days back in the 1980s. Nestled on Victoria Street, the modest display reflected the humble beginnings of a family-owned business dedicated to offering quality gold and diamond jewelry. Each piece was carefully curated, reflecting the craftsmanship and passion that laid the foundation for what would become one of the most trusted names in jewelry. From these simple beginnings, Goldgem has grown, but we remain committed to the same values of excellence and personalized service.

EARLY DAYS

This was our original jewelry workshop, where the magic happened using traditional techniques and methods that laid the groundwork for Goldgem Jewelers' reputation. In this small, busy space, our skilled craftsmen worked with passion, handcrafting intricate pieces with precision. Using time-honored tools and methods, we ensured that each item reflected the highest standards of quality and artistry. Though our tools and technology have advanced since then, the dedication to our craft remains unchanged, and we still honor the craftsmanship that started it all.
