Uwe Koetter Jewellers

In 1968 Uwe and his wife, Magda, founded the company. At that stage, individual designs and handmade jewellery were virtually impossible to obtain in South Africa. In the trade, only mass-produced pieces were available. Right from the beginning, Uwe Koetter Jewellers held steadfastly to a philosophy of designing uniquely customised quality pieces along with a first class personalised service to a steadily growing number of clients.

In 1980, Uwe Koetter incorporated the indispensable and highly acclaimed skills of brother-in-law Johan Louw, who many people have named the most gifted and creative designer in southern Africa. From an early age, Johan would spend many hours in Uwe´s factory where he developed a love and talent for jewellery design. After completing a degree at Stellenbosch University, Johan joined the family business. His true talent and love for design has manifested itself in the many jewellery design awards that he has won over the years, adding much acclaim and prosperity to the company.Uwe Koetter Jewellers has consistently grown from strength to strength employing more highly-specialised goldsmiths, gemmologists and graders. Proudly, Uwe Koetter Jewellers (and all who have made this company so successful), have claimed a place amongst the top jewellery manufacturers in southern Africa.
