Erica du Plessis graduated from Stellenbosch University with a Bachelors in Fine Arts honours degree (jewellery design) and established a studio after working in the trade at the bench and as a designer.

Her time is divided between making private commissions, teaching jewellery-making classes and showcasing work at exhibitions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erica Strauss Designer Jewellery Studio is a small independent studio committed to jewellery as a creative industry and to contemporary jewellery as a movement to tell a story, convey a message or make a statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe strive for excellence and value not only lies in exquisite gems, enamels and precious or semi-precious metals, but also in the craftsmanship of traditional goldsmithing techniques,\u201d says Du Plessis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
