SILVER
In 1999, Tintsaba established the Silver Jewellery workshop, with the objective of combining our best woven sisal disks with sterling silver. Rural women weave the sisal disks using traditional basketry techniques on a greatly refined scale. It takes years of training to be able to weave the sisal disks used in the framed sisal range. The increased value of the product enables us to pay top prices to the women weaving the sisal disks.

Both the silver-smiths started out as crafts people, making earring disks and baskets. They have been well trained by Minah Tsikathi, our revered, late senior silversmith.

The silver workshop can produce about 300-400 pieces per month, depending on the complexity. Everything is made by hand, including hooks, loops, fittings and finely cut elephants.
