Andreas Betzold oversees every bespoke design and commission, working only from our studio in Kalk Bay. He brings more than twenty-five years of design experience, a lasting fascination with gemstones and considerable technical skill to each piece.

His work begins with listening. Some clients arrive with a clear idea or a stone of their own, others with little more than a sense of what they would like. Andreas helps shape it from there, advising on design and materials until the piece belongs to the person it was made for.

“I’m inspired by the view of the ocean from our studio in Kalk Bay. It is a quiet, intimate place, well suited to sitting down with clients and turning their ideas into something made for them alone.”

To discuss a commission, please contact Andreas on +27 (0)83 301 9011 to arrange an appointment.

At ANPA, we have spent nearly twenty-five years researching, developing and refining our approach to mokume gane. This ongoing exploration has deepened our understanding of its possibilities, bringing together exacting craftsmanship and a willingness to experiment with metals, patterns and form. We often combine its richly patterned surfaces with precious gemstones, carefully considering how colour, light and texture interact within each design.

For us, mokume gane is both a long-standing commitment and a continuing discovery. Each piece expresses the individuality of its making, carrying a centuries-old Japanese technique into our own contemporary jewellery.
