About Ralstons Jewellery
I am a trained classical goldsmith and have over 30 years’ experience in custom manufacture of jewellery, specialising in wearable sculptures of art. I qualified as a diamond grader, Tanzanite and coloured stone authenticator through the European Gemmological Laboratories (EGL). I am an accredited member of the Jewellery Council of Southern Africa as an authenticator and valuator of stones and jewellery.
PAUL – MASTER GOLDSMITH
Ralstons Jewellery is a jewellery manufacturing company with a difference. All bespoke pieces are handcrafted by Paul Ralston Nel and designed in conjunction with the client.
Our Classic and Safari pieces are individual bespoke pieces that will not be duplicated. This ensures the uniqueness of every piece commissioned. All materials used in the creation of any Ralstons piece come from ethical and sustainable sources that can be traced and verified.
bespoke Pieces
Paul’s first passion was to create delicate classic and vintage jewellery. In conjunction with the manufacture of these pieces, he provides the service of valuation and authentication of stones (for insurance purposes) for his clients.
All Ralstons Jewellery classic pieces are bespoke. Whatever your requirements, Paul can create the perfect piece designed and hand-made specifically for you at very affordable prices.

Services
VALUATIONS
We generally insure our most expensive possessions, that is our homes and our cars. However, how many of us think to insure our jewellery? An engagement ring is often one of the most expensive things you will buy or wear during your lifetime. It is also very susceptible to damage, loss or theft.
Jewellery can be covered under a standard homeowner insurance policy but as jewellery is considered to be a non-essential and – unless the item is specified on your policy in the event of theft, loss or damage – insurance will only pay out a fraction of the value. For this reason many women just don’t wear their expensive piece but jewellery is meant to be worn and enjoyed!
Therefore it makes sense to have your jewellery appraised and insure it. Optimally a piece should be revalued every 5 years due to inflation and the constant change in the price of stones and metals.
Paul is registered with the Jewellery Council of South Africa as an accredited valuator and authenticator of jewellery for insurance purposes. The consultation fee for this service is R450,00 per item of jewellery. Paul can do the valuation in the comfort of your own home.
Rejuvenation Jewellery
Want a brand new piece of jewellery but can’t afford to pay a fortune? We have the solution for you!
Empty your jewellery box of old pieces you no longer wear, broken chains, single earrings, and old butterfly’s. We utilise the metal and stones from your unwanted pieces to design and create a new piece of jewellery. The metal you provide is weighed and the price of the day used to obtain a monetary value. You only pay for any additional metal required and labour involved.
