Hi All,

Many thanks for allowing me to join the community.

I've recently gotten into the family jewellery manufacturing business in Durban and i'm looking forward to improving my skill level with your tutorials/guides.

I enjoy learning new tips and tricks and will do my best to learn and share as i progress.

Looking forward to a long stay

Thanks again.

Hi Viren and welcome
What sort of jewellery does your family firm manufacture? We are mostly all handcrafted here on this forum and lone craftspersons, it must be an interesting dynamic to work in a family business

Hi Viren,

Welcome to the forum. Must be exciting joining the family business. As Caroline mentioned, What kind of jewellery do you like to do?

HI CJ57,

We manufacture predominantly traditional Indian jewellery, all handcrafted, typically in Yellow and white gold.

We also do a significant amount of diamond engagement rings.

I'm a "4th generation jeweller" in the business and love the support from the family, however, differences of opinion always arise .

I'm really interested in CAD-CAM however the costs seem restrictive considering most of our work is handcrafted also.

Nonetheless, we love learning.
