Where we’ve
come from
In 1984, the sceptics abounded. ‘A jewellery store in the winelands doesn’t make sense,’ they said. But Peter Gilder, a visionary entrepreneur, saw beyond the doubts. As the foundations of Constantia Village were being laid, he envisioned a haven where artistry, craftsmanship, and beauty would come together.
With unwavering determination, Peter turned his dream into reality. He opened the doors to his jewellery store, defying convention and pioneering a new standard in bespoke craftsmanship. Peter’s passion and dedication transformed the store into a landmark destination.
The
legacy
continues
Peter Gilder’s pioneering spirit and unwavering commitment to excellence have been the guiding forces behind our jewellery store’s success. After his well-deserved retirement in 2022, the torch was passed to Anene van Staden, a talented and devoted protégée who had honed her skills alongside Peter for over 17 years.
With Anene at the helm, Peter Gilder Jewellery continues to thrive, built on the foundation of trust, reputation, and innovative design. Our team of skilled designers and goldsmiths remain dedicated to pushing the boundaries of craftsmanship, creating breathtaking pieces that capture the essence of love, legacy, and beauty.
As the brand continues to evolve, Anene remains committed to Peter’s founding principles: trust, quality, and innovation. The next generation of designers and goldsmiths will flourish under her guidance, pushing the boundaries of bespoke craftsmanship and solidifying Peter Gilder Jewellery’s position as a leader in the industry.
