Two communities, one bench
The studio sits between Indian and South African life. Temple motifs and bridal sets are made alongside lighter everyday pieces, so a client can order both from the same hands.
Shikhar Jewellers began as a family trade, not a business plan. The people at the bench have worked together for years, and the skills move between generations rather than through a hiring cycle. That continuity is the whole point.
The studio sits between Indian and South African life. Temple motifs and bridal sets are made alongside lighter everyday pieces, so a client can order both from the same hands.
A wedding commission often turns into a resizing years later, then a first bangle for a child. We keep the records, so the second and third visits start where the last one ended.
The family behind the name still checks finishes and sits with clients. Nothing leaves the workshop without someone who cares about the outcome looking at it first.
We would rather make fewer pieces properly than push volume through. Trust and continuity matter more to us than growing the order book, and that shapes how we work.
The door stays open. If you want to see how a piece is made, how a stone is chosen, or how an old bangle can be brought back to life, come and watch it happen in the workshop.
