Home among the stars.

For more than 40 years Uwe Koetter has established relationships and served some of the most recognised and accomplished customers from around the world.

From Kate Moss to Nicholas Cage, as South Africa's single most awarded jeweller our excellence in craftsmanship, unrivalled reputation and attention to detail have extended as far as commissioning unique items for HM Queen Elizabeth II – as only Uwe Koetter can.

Our warm service and personal one-to-one approach allows us to understand your ideas and help transform your vision into a highly bespoke piece, to be cherished forever.

Uwe Koetter Diamonds and Gemstones. Being one of the only Cape Town jeweller who has a De Beers Trained Diamond Grading Expert on site, Uwe Koetter only select stones with the best qualities across Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat.

In-house diamond expert, Eileen Wium says, "Proportion is vital. Without good proportions Colour, Clarity and Caratage the value becomes redundant – which is why we guarantee every stone bought from Uwe Koetter is perfectly proportioned: to maximise its brilliance and value."

Uwe Koetter Tanzanite. At Uwe Koetter, we have a vast selection of loose tanzanite gemstones and jewellery, which we craft into our world-renowned designs.

In its rough state, Tanzanite is typically a reddish-brown colour stone. It requires specialised heat treatment to 600°C in a gemmological oven to bring out the blue violet of the stone. The deeper the intensity of blue, the more valuable the stone – however, specific skin tones complement lighter or darker Tanzanite colours.

Master goldsmiths, including renowned award-winning designer Johan Louw, create designs that surpass your expectations while taking your style and budget requirements into full consideration. The result is jewellery of superlative quality, meticulously fashioned by hand.

A memory to cherish.

"While it's thrilling to work on special pieces for the likes of HM Queen Elizabeth II, I am happiest when creating a bespoke engagement ring," says Johan Louw. Its promise is a lifetime of memories, and the start of a loving journey.

What we create is a unique design, a partnership and experience tailored specifically to the person you cherish most in your life. The journey is engaging from the very start: allowing you to work closely with a skilled designer, an expert diamond grader, specialist setters, as well as skilled gold, silver and platinum smiths – as we handcraft a bespoke design that is truly one-of-a-kind.
