About this blog.

The aim of this blog is to gather and disseminate information on 20th century gold- and silversmiths in South Africa. This include the recording of names, maker’s marks and the dates they were in use, contributions, biographies of the gold- and silversmiths, published and as yet unpublished information along with interviews on the history of the creative precious metal market in South Africa.

I have published a few articles on this topic in the South African Journal of Cultural History. in the process of gathering information, I realised that much more on this era of gold- and silversmithing in South Africa still needs to be uncovered and documented. Hopefully this website will be of use to gather information on the legacies of local gold- and silversmiths.

Please feel free to comment and add information that may be helpful in refining and colouring in our memories of the goldsmiths of South Africa and their work during the 20th century.
