Jewel of Africa

Jewellery design

The Jewel of Africa cuts its gems to accommodate the shapes and sizes of the raw gemstone in order to achieve optimum brilliance and the highest creative quality. The Jewel of Africa's lead designer, Rashmi Sharma, is a fellow of the Gemological Association of Great Britain (FGA) and also a member of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Rashmi designs each piece with particular attention to colour, shape and size. Her designs are created according to clients' requirements, with particular attention to the colour, shape and size of the client's chosen gemstone.

Gems are sourced in conflict-free areas and the Jewel of Africa guarantees the highest level of ethical trading. The company has entered into strategic partnerships with miners of gold, emeralds and tourmaline. These are the primary raw materials used in its jewellery production.

Clients can choose from a wide range of timeless pieces which include an extensive bridal collection, as well as playful wildlife-inspired silver jewellery for all ages. Particular attention is given to the company's brand, and the quality and presentation of the range, in order to compete internationally and promote Zambian products abroad. In addition, fair prices are paid for local sourcing and production. As well as jewellery manufacture and sales, the Jewel of Africa is also active in gemstone mining and lapidary work.
