Love, love, love how Janine re-vamped my outdated jewelry. I now enjoy wearing everything again. Great advice, beautiful ideas & wonderful service - i couldnt be happier!!

What an uplifting experience to visit Janine at Scarab and share her enthusiasm and knowledge of gems and jewellery. Every piece is crafted with care and love and she is willing to take time with her clients in order to assess their particular desires and needs. Whether it is to remodel an old piece or buy one of her beautiful creations, I cant recommend Janine highly enough. My advice is to make Scarab your first stop.

I worked with Janine from Scarab Jewellery at a distance during Covid-19 in June of 2021. Even from afar she was on point with helping me get exactly what it was I looking for. She was helpful and efficient. She provided me with great service and a stunning product even during these challenging times. Thanks Janine. Id bring my business to you any day!

Silver adornments and antique beads gathered on my travels had lost their luster but have been given new life by Janine Davidson from Scarab. Thoughtfully re-imagined and recomposed into highly wearable pieces, they remain invested with my precious memories, but I now enjoy them in a completely fresh way. I also appreciated feeling included and part of the decision-making throughout the process!

Janine and the team at Scarab Jewellery provided amazing service: creative, professional and personalised. I needed to replace my lost engagement ring and had quite unusual ideas about the kinds of stones and arrangement I wanted. Janine walked me through the process of creating a unique piece of jewellery which is not only beautiful but also suits me perfectly. It is unsual to find someone who takes the time to really understand what you are trying to achieve and works towards it until you love the end product. Thank you Janine!

I recently bought a beautiful and unique necklace from Scarab Jewellery, I am so impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of the piece. Will definitely be purchasing more products from them.

Scarab have always gone over and above to help me with specific requests, and produce beautiful pieces well worth the price and customer care. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for stunning and special jewellery!

I was thrilled to receive the beautiful silver bracelet I ordered online from Scarab...adding to my Scarab collection! Janines designs are so original and the quality of work is outstanding. I was also so pleased to order my bracelet one day and receive it the very next day - what excellent service. Thank you Janine and the Scarab Team.

Brought in a pendant for redesign into a ring. Followed my directions and added some good suggestions. Came out even better than I expected. Great service.

Janine was so wonderful to work with! She took care and attention to the sentiment of the piece I was designing and created something even more beautiful than I could have imagined! I highly recommend Scarab Jewellery Studio especially for meaningful custom pieces.

Great quality, beautiful jewellery and friendly customer service.

Janine of Scarab has been designing and manufacturing beautiful jewellery for our family for a number of years. Rings, earrings, bracelets and pendants, all made with high quality, care and meeting our brief. I have just received a gorgeous bracelet made from natural Zircon, moonstone and rose gold for my 60th birthday and shall always treasure this special piece. Janine is a pleasure to work with, creative, sincere and professional!!! Roslyn Schmidt

Janine of Scarab Jewellery designed two necklaces for me, both with very specific requirements. I dont generally wear a lot of jewellery so am quite particular about the pieces that I buy. Janine was able to design both necklaces exactly as requested and produced two stunning pieces of jewellery which I will treasure. She was very professional in her approach and extremely committed. I can highly recommend her for any bespoke pieces you wish to have made but the shop in Claremont also has some gorgeous ready-made items. I will definitely be seeing Janine and Scarab again!

Janine was a dream to work with!I came to her with two rings. One she quickly cleaned and answered every question I had, and the second was a broken antique that I wished to have recreated.Janine advised me on different materials and what the process would be, and two weeks later I now have a perfect and beautiful ring.I am forever thankful to Janine and Scarab Jewellery for bringing back to life a treasured heirloom!

The Scarab Jewellery Studio experience was amazing. The personalised service and Janines attention to detail and ability to interpret her customers requirements was exceptional. I would highly recommend Janine and her team.

If you want to design your own custom ring and benefit from fantastic customer service, then Scarab is the place for you. Janine was amazing from start to finish. She helped me design the ring to create something both timeless and unique. Their knowledge is second to none. I highly recommend Scarab Jewellery Studio. I’ll be back.

Janine and her team came highly recommended from several friends who raved about her jewelry and their experiences having pieces made. Janine and Co. did not disappoint! Janine created a custom ring for my mothers birthday using loose sapphires I brought in. Within just a few weeks time and during the peak holiday season, Janine and her team managed not only to bring our design to life but to use her contacts to get the ring hand carried to the USA all in time for my Moms birthday. We could not have been more thrilled with the outcome -- my Mom absolutely loves the ring and I thoroughly enjoyed the process. For those thinking of custom creations or unique pieces youll be sure to cherish, I highly recommend Scarab.

Wonderful experience so far. Janine is sensitive to her clients particular aesthetic tastes and practical requirements. She is patient and caring. She is enthusiastic about her work which is wonderfully reassuring. Love this business.

Ive been wearing Scarab delights for over 25 years, slowly adding pieces for myself here and there. I recently was gifted some family jewelry and had a few other pieces I had been given over the years - I loved the sentimental value but not the style. Nothing fitted and rather sadly were just left in a jewelry roll. I went to Scarab. The only people I felt I could trust. Who got me, my life and what would work. A few drawings later and voila, I have my mothers diamonds, my husbands pearls, incorporating elements I never used, all beautifully reset. Recrafted into beautiful practical pieces that I wear every day. On my ferry commute, at work in the office, a board meeting, at an every dinner, to a swish evening. They translate well and at the same time, retain their heritage. All distinctly mine, but uniquely Scarab. Thank you Janine and company.

Do yourself a favour and have a one-on-one consultation with Janine Davidson, goldsmith, jewellery designer and owner of Scarab Jewellery. She comes highly recommended with a wealth of knowledge in the creative field of jewellery design.

Thank you to Janine and her Team. They produced the most amazing engagement ring for me. The service was fantastic, considering we never met face to face and corresponded via email until the day I collected the ring. Janine totally got my idea and had some fantastic suggestions. The ring is perfect. And of course she said YES.

Janine devoted a lot of time, effort and creativity to create two magnificent, very personal, pieces of jewellery for me. The ring incorporates my late mothers diamonds, and enables me to feel her presence always. The gold, diamond and ruby bracelet is a work of art, and only leaves my wrist when I sleep.I would unreservedly recommend Janine and her team for any jewellery you desire, whether of her design, or yours - you will be enchanted!!

Hands down the best jeweler! Janine is so talented and pays attention to detail. She listens to what you want and truly brings your vision to life. Love love love all my scarab jewelry!

Thank you!!!!!Scarab is such a special experience.! If you want to buy something exquisitely made, or.. have it custom made specially for you, this is the best jewelery shop in Cape Town. When i asked to return a gift, i expected the usual unfriendly No! Instead, Janine the owner and designer not only allowed me to return something, but graciously went out of her way to patiently help me design the ring of my dreams instead. The result is amazing!!!!

Thank you so much to Janine and the team at Scarab for creating such an amazing engagement ring for my fiancée. If it is quality and craftsmanship I can definitely recommend Scarab.

I was fortunate enough to have Scarab recommended to me by a friend who is a massive fan of minerals and gems. Having no clue how to go about picking a gem for my fiance myself, I went to Scarab with very little knowledge.Janine and the team at Scarab helped me through every step of the design of the engagement ring, always responsive and open to changes and follow-ups. I brought in a family heirloom (my mothers engagement ring) and was able to utilise much of the material while creating something completely new. This added so much meaning to the final product, which was impossible to achieve without Scarabs skill.If you dont want a 3D-printed cookie-cutter piece of jewelry, Scarab is the place to go. There is so much care and attention placed into every step of hand-crafting their pieces, that Im honestly taken aback at how special the finished product is.Go to Scarab, and youll be meeting your new jeweller for life!

I cannot recommend this company enough, they made our wedding rings and my engagement ring with a matching bracelet. All 4 pieces are stunning and excellently made but what really sets this company apart is the service, its absolutely impeccable! They always respond quickly, they are always personal and warm, even send in a hand written note with the rings wishing us well. One ring was the wrong size due to no error of theirs and they are resizing it and returning it to me at no cost. Amazing. A rare experience!

Janine was amazingly helpful in designing my opal pendant and its absolutely perfect. I cannot wait to purchase more of her beautiful jewellery pieces, so unique!

What a delightful experience! I had my wedding rings redesigned and was simply blown away by the result. Such a pleasure to deal with Janine and Christine. They are friendly, humorous and oh so talented.

Thank you Janine for the most beautiful ring. You took my old ugly duckling and turned it into a swan!!

I had the pleasure of working with Janine just before my second baby was born. She made me golden toe rings - delicate and elegant. Symbolic for each of my children. As we designed the second work, a pair of pearl earrings, I was struck by Janines exact eye and guidance. She created something exquisite for me, completely unique and I feel royal wearing them. Jewelry is intimate and having someone of her caliber and heart form what sits on my skin for so many years, is a privilege.

I had these big beautiful heart stone earrings but with not much opportunity to wear them as they were too dressy for everyday wear. So I asked Scarab Jewellery Studio whether they would be happy to trade them in or make them smaller for me. Janine had no success sourcing a smaller size of the same stones so she arranged for the stones to be cut and remade the gold casings. Furthermore, she allowed me to pay for the work in gold (some rings and earrings that I no longer wore). I was more than happy with the service and workmanship. Janine is one of those rare bespoke designers that listens to the heart of her client and delivers a perfect fitting slipper. I LOVE my new earrings!

I strongly recommend Scarab to anyone looking to revitalize old jewellery - Janine is talented and easy to work with and the staff as a whole are friendly and efficient. Im so happy with the work they did for me and I already look forward to my next visit!

I brought 3 unwearable rings to Janine for upcycling - one of which was my diamond engagement ring, a dress ring scattered with diamonds and a diamond ring given to me by my children many many years ago. Janine designed a stack of 3 rings - just beautiful. Im really really pleased.

Absolutely delighted with my new ring which is a remodelling of 2 precious rings. Service and attention to detail from the team at Scarab added value to the whole experience.

I would like to thank Janine for all her help with me picking a lovely diamond for a ring that I wanted to update. Living in New Zealand did not make any difference at all to the very good customer service that I received.Janine I know that there was a lot of emails going back and forwards but in the end it was really worth it.Would recommend Scarab to everyone.

I first commissioned Janine to make a wedding band and engagement ring incorporating both my grandmothers and my husbands grandmothers diamonds of various sizes and qualities.Ten years later, two children and a move to the UK ment that well.. my rings became ..ahem...lets just say rather snug! I called upon Janine once again, who remained my favourite jeweller and the only one I trusted to design and remake the rings. Depite now being thousands of miles apart, she meticulously went over every detail via numerous emails back and forth. She produced remarkable technical drawings and mockups to ensure I was totally happy before she went ahead and made it.Well, I couldnt be happier! It is absolutely stunning. The diamonds look fabulously sparkly and the ring is super comfy to wear too.I thoroughly recommend Scarab Jewellery from concept to completion, Im delighted!

I dont buy jewellery often but when I do I dont shop around - I go straight to Scarab, and have been for about 20 years. Janine really gets what I like, is happy to spend a lot of time chatting through ideas, and the work is always beautiful. It makes a difference when youre not just buying a commodity - the experience is part of the sentimental attachment to the pieces.

Scarab jewels have been part of my life for over 20 years. Janine, aided by my generous husband, brothers and mother, has created jewellery that has brought me so much pleasure on so many different levels. I love what Janine does with colour, I love the simplicity of her pieces, I love how she listens to what I want to wear and makes it work, I think she is a real craftsman in her trade, she has years of experience and yet the essence of Scarab never changes.

From the beautiful quartz droplet necklace, bought as a celebration of a special day, to a re-imagined bespoke pendant made to replace a vintage piece that had been stolen, to earrings and a ring, Janine and Scarab have provided my favourite pieces of jewellery. I really love the quality of the work, but its the personal attention given to customers that really puts Scarab in a different sphere to others.

Lovely business where your jewelry dreams come true!

Janine read my mind and created the most beautiful ring for me - exactly what I had wanted! Such a pleasure dealing with her.

I fell in love with Scarab jewellery with my first pair of little silver scarabs. And the love affair continues with my most recent delight: dangling rainbow moonstones which catch light and colour. Every visit to the studio is a pleasure, whether to browse, get advice on reworking some old bits n pieces or to have my jewellery cleaned (free service with a smile btw). Owner/designer Janine Davidson is such a giving spirit. Her artistry is evident everywhere. And her eye for loveliness shines true and through every piece.

One of the few places we could find that would use gold from our family jewellery, with sentimental value, to make our rings. We appreciated the guidance from Janine, and really happy with how our rings turned out. Thank you

I bought your store a Silver Scarab Pendant. Its very beautiful. Since I live in Estonia then the order and also shipment was filled very quickly. Thank you very much.

Janine Davidson has designed some of the most beautiful and unusual bespoke pieces Ive seen. Professional, fastidious... And very personable!

A big THANK YOU to Janine and her team for not only the re-designing my wedding ring, but for your brilliant ideas and advise to me to made the right decision. Can’t wait to add the final piece to it :-)
