The Secret Of Our Custom Design Quality
MORE THAN 100 YEARS COMBINED JEWELLERY DESIGN EXPERIENCE
Déonne le Roux Jewellers is known as an owner-run business, but the most important part is that all our staff form part of the Deonne le Roux family. Today we want to celebrate a family within the family-run business…
For the purpose of this blog, we’ve changed the names mentioned for the protection and security purposes of the identities of our team.
58 OF COMBINED YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITHIN ONE FAMILY
We are so blessed to have the Mkhwanazi* family within our team. They are passionate about their work and strive to deliver excellent quality workmanship with each product. They have been an unmissable part of our workshop quality and deliver the standard of excellence to our customers.
In 1994 when Elizabeth* became a polisher at Deonne le Roux Jewellers, because of her skill we upgraded her to be a goldsmith. A few years later we needed more goldsmiths so we started training her brother, James*. (It is not likely for so many people of one family to work for one company.) Elizabeth and James were so happy working at Deonne le Roux Jewellers, that Priscilla* – Elizabeth’s daughter – also became part of our team in 2011.
This guarantees the quality of our craftsmanship for our customers. The big benefit here is that because we have skilled people with many years of experience we can 100% guarantee that our valued clients will receive exquisite jewellery!
The problem most people face when customizing a ring is that they have no way of knowing how the end product will look. Think about it, how will you feel when you receive your dream ring and you don’t like it? With us, this won’t be the case! Due to our experience, we can guarantee that you will LOVE your new ring.
This is the same when it comes to jewellery repairs, many of the jewellery repairs we do are family heirlooms. These items have a high sentimental value that outweighs the monetary value of the items. It is too valuable to entrust these items and not be sure to get a good end-result
People bring their jewellery to Deonne le Roux because they trust us and for good reason – because this family is so passionate and experienced they are in safe hands.
