Established in 1984, Peter Gilder Jewellery has become internationally synonymous with fine quality and exceptional workmanship.

“My philosophy is that a jewellery business of this calibre must be run by the owner, with a hands-on approach”, says Peter, who still works in the store himself, attending to clients who have supported him for the past 20 years.

His daughter Mandy, who joined the business in 2003, now has her own division, which offers a younger and more fashion conscious collection, but still maintains the quality standards set by her father.  This personal approach has ensured that the relationships forged between client and staff, are strong and enduring.

Designer Rolf Werndle, a talented goldsmith, is also available for client consultations. Both Peter and Rolf are experienced diamond graders, ably supported by resident Graduate Gemmologist Irene Modlin, and are able to offer expert advice in creating fine designs for the most discerning of clients as well as selecting the perfect diamond for a particular design.

Uniquely, the entire process from design to manufacture, is performed within the store, and is personally overseen by the owners.

The workshop forms an integral part of the shop, and is visible from both outside and inside.  “I believe our team of goldsmiths is one of our most important assets, and they deserve to be seen. So many workshops are hidden away, which is a great pity. Our clients enjoy watching their pieces being created. It is an important aspect of the whole fine jewellery experience” says Peter.

Diamonds are not the only stones to be found at Peter Gilder Jewellery.  They also have a large selection of Sapphires, Emeralds, Rubies and Pearls, and of course, Tanzanites – one of the most exciting gemstone discoveries of our time.

The Mandy G division offers a large selection of high-fashion items, ranging from modern Sterling Silver items, to Titanium to colourful gemstones. Most are designed by Mandy herself, and nearly all are original one-off pieces. Her philosophy of “why fake it” comes across very strongly within the Mandy G department, where one is able to find young, trendy in-expensive jewellery, with all the flair and focus on quality it deserves. It is this next generation approach which keeps Peter Gilder in the forefront of jewellery design and trends.

This fascinating store is located in the very popular Constantia Village shopping mall, just 20 minutes from the centre of Cape Town.

The beautiful, historic Constantia valley, is famous for its fine wines and excellent restaurants and the village offers ample free parking, ensuring your shopping experience is a real pleasure.

The company motto is, “if you can dream it, we can make it. “

Peter Gilder would love to welcome you to their store and should you prefer, invite you to make an appointment to view the various collections.
