ABOUT

Hello there! I’m Ryno, a jewellery designer from South Africa, rooted along the stunning west coast. I completed my formal training at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, graduating Cum Laude and receiving awards in drawing and design. Approaching a decade in Vietnam, my artistic journey unfolds as I blend diverse cultures into my creations.

For years, I admired others in my field, captivated by their signature styles while struggling with my own. It was a true journey of self-discovery, and I realized I needed to embrace the discomfort of forging my unique identity in the jewellery world. Ultimately, I discovered that my different approach to jewellery design was my strength all along. Inspired by poetry, music, folklore, and ethnic rustic jewellery, I found that I already had a signature style. This revelation liberated my creativity. I love crafting unique designs that encourage everyone to express themselves in a world that often feels homogenized.

Each piece I design is a creative expression, speaking directly to the wearer and conveying messages of creativity, empowerment, boldness, and fearlessness. Crafted from high-quality materials and shaped into unexpected forms, these pieces tell my story, intertwining my South African heritage with the vibrant essence of my Vietnamese surroundings. I invite you to wear them as you embark on your own adventure.
