A new destination for thoughtfully curated, fashion-forward jewellery has arrived in the heart of the Cape Winelands.

The Makery Collection, a South African jewellery brand known for its distinctive blend of handmade beaded designs and gold accents, opened its newest boutique in Stellenbosch on Thursday 26 March.

Founded in Johannesburg by former magazine editor Jacqui Myburgh Chemaly and her business partner Heidi Gresty, the brand reflects both women’s passion for fashion and accessories with a touch of unique, boho style.

The Makery Collection has become synonymous with modern, wearable pieces that feel luxurious.

The brand’s signature aesthetic merges bohemian ease with refined styling, offering jewellery that seamlessly transitions from everyday wear to special occasions.

At the core of The Makery Collection is a belief that jewellery is every woman’s opportunity to tell her style story.

The founders maintain there’s no right and wrong when it comes to jewellery, each piece designed to be layered, stacked and styled to reflect the style of the wearer.

Extensive range

From delicate gold chains and textured hoops to vibrant beaded necklaces created in their Johannesburg studio and charm-inspired details, the collections invite customers to build a look that feels entirely their own.

The Makery Collection has also become a popular gifting destination. With beautiful packaging and an accessible price point the brand serves as a go-to option for celebrating milestones, friendships or special moments.

The new Stellenbosch store at 5 Plein Street captures the essence of The Makery Collection. Partnered with Sitting Pretty clothing, the boutique is warm, inviting, and visually inspiring.

“Our goal has always been to create jewellery that feels special yet effortless,” said Myburgh. “Opening in Stellenbosch allows us to connect with a community that appreciates craftsmanship, style and storytelling. We’re excited to introduce The Makery Collection to the Western Cape in a way that feels authentic to who we are.’”

With its unique blend of boho flair and contemporary design, The Makery Collection is a must-visit destination for fashion lovers, stylists and gift-givers.
