Out Of Africa Collection
The out of Africa collection is inspired by the wildlife, rich colours and architecture of Africa.
The little animals in the collection are all hand carved.
A number of rings, necklaces and earrings, which can also have gems set into them if desired. These are set into the jewellery by Ross, this is his forte.
Each piece comes with a 5-year guarantee and a lifetime repair service.
If you are looking for a more personal touch, there is an engraving option on a number of the pieces in the collection
A number of the animals symbolise specific traits. For example, the Lioness and her cub symbolise motherhood. The rhino necklace symbolises inner strength and the elephant with its upwards-facing trunk symbolises prosperity.
Each piece would make an extremely sentimental gift as well as an investment for the future because of the precious metals used to make them.
