I went to Penchant Design to assist me with selling some jewelry and to make a few new custom pieces for me.Jackie was incredibly helpful in the sale of the pieces and then helping select a stone and guiding me through the design process of the new pieces.She kept me updated each step of the way and I absolutely love my new creations.They also have the most beautiful store filled with gorgeous pieces including lots of beautiful and quite unusual gem stones.I can highly recommend The Penchant Design team.Thank you Jackie

I have an obsidien arrow that I bought at a market, which I wanted to be set so as to wear on a chain. Penchant Design immediately assisted me with a number of options at my request, all of which were very affordable and attractive. I ended up going with a silver chain and setting, and received the necklace back in the same week that I had handed it in. It is currently one of my favourite pieces of jewelry, and I have received many compliments. Since then, I have had a bent ring fixed, obtained good advice and a cloth with which to clean it, and more secure butterflies to keep earrings in place. They also fixed new pearls onto a pair of earrings I had bought to make them more aesthetically pleasing. Each time, I was met with the utmost helpfulness and friendly service from the highly professional owner, Jackie Hahn and her team. I cannot recommend Penchant Design highly enough!

I have always found the staff at Penchant Design to be friendly, accommodating and always willing to assist. I have been into the shop a few times whilst travelling on business, but never actually bought anything. Come lockdown and travel restrictions, is when I decide to purchase for an upcoming wedding anniversary. The necklace I wanted was not in stock, but I was told not to worry as they could make one up for me and courier it before my anniversary. The process was effortless and Jackie kept me updated along the way. The necklace arrived as promised and packed so nicely. My wife intercepted the delivery and I was left having to purchase earrings to match to give to her on our anniversary. Once again, Jackie and the team were superb and I changed the delivery address so my wife would not accept the package. What a truly exceptional online experience

I had the fantastic experience of dealing with Jackie, from Penchant, in designing earrings and in transferring the diamonds from my engagement ring into a more practical eternity ring. I dont tend to wear a lot of jewelery, so had been dithering for several years on various options. What drew me to Penchant Design was their wonderful daisy jewelery, and while I didnt end up going with that design, I am so happy with how they were able to transform my engagement ring into a piece of jewelery I wear every day. My little heart keeper earrings are also a daily fixture, which I love. Thank you so much to Jackie and the talented crew behind her!!!

I found Penchant Design by chance on Instagram. Fell in love with some earrings and sent an email to Jackie. Within a day or two I ordered the earrings and within twenty four hours they were at my door. They are absolutely beautiful and exquisitely made. I’m looking forward to receiving information of new products from them as I surely will be buying more!

I recently asked Jackie and her team to recreate an opal ring from my grandmother that was stolen a couple of years ago. Jackie sourced the most beautiful opal stone, gave excellent advice on the setting and then created the most beautiful opal and rose gold ring. I could not be happier!This is the fourth piece that I’ve bought from Penchant Design and the personal service, beauty of the jewelry and value for money are first class. They certainly specialize in unique bespoke jewelry and will create the piece that you’ve always wanted.Thank you Jackie and the Penchant Design team!

At first I was apprehensive about making a large purchase off a website half a world away from me. I contacted Jackie Hahn and she got back to me immediately. She reassured me of the quality and legitimacy of her business, Penchant Design. I was also concerned that it would take too long to arrive at my home in the USA. Once again Jackie explained the process. She made sure I got the beautiful, quality ring I wanted, sized appropriately, and I received it in about a week. I couldn’t be happier with the purchase and the customer care I received.

I wandered into Penchant Design in Franschoek on a day trip with my goddaughter. Not intending to buy jewellery but couldnt help myself - such incredible designs - absolutely love the daisy motif rings. It needed to be resized for my baby finger, and that was done the following day and couriered to me in Cape Town the day after that. Fits perfectly. Great team - highly recommended!

I received my silver Daisy ring last week. I love it . I received it within 5 days of ordering . Gretchen was super communicative and sent me pics over Whatsapp and made sure that I received my ring and that I was happy with it. You are never 100 percent sure about the quality of the product when you shop online . Penchants quality and workmanship is superb . So happy . Thank you 😊😊😊😊

For many years we wanted to do something special for our daughters, to let them have that little something on them that reminds them that they are part of a loving family 24/7, specially as they are leaving the nest and starting their own lives after university. Three years ago, I came across Penchant Design in Franschhoek after a breakfast in this lovely town. The daisy design immediately helped us make up our minds for what we want to make for our daughters, and we have finally had the 3 rings made, which symbolises 3 daisies (mom and daughters), with a band (dad) that keeps it all together. We presented the rings to our daughters on Christmas day and they love it!!!! It is a permanent fixture on our hands. It has the exact effect I wanted it to have and it is gorgeous. Everyone notices our stunning rings and we are proud to announce where they were made and how happy we are with the support, design and ultimate delivery of the rings at short notice. We could not have asked for a better result. Our ideas were combined with the daisy design and the rings are 110% what we expected them to be. They far outweigh our greatest expectation of how we thought they would look as a finished product. The fact that they understood exactly what we wanted and delivered on their promise, is a trait one does not find easily in any industry. After the completion of our ‘family rings’, we had more items transformed/redesigned and manufactured at Penchant design and again we are extremely happy with the results. Thank you for delivering exactly what we asked for, assisting in redesigning and recreating items I love, and finally allowing me to conclude an idea I had for many years. Our greatest appreciation for everything you have done for us.

We have made numerous pre-designed and customised purchases over the past four years, and Jackie and her team has surpassed our expectations every single time. Thank you Jackie and team. You are extremely talented in what you do, and you do this very professionally.

For many years, we have spent a few vacation days in Franchhoek every year and the visit to Penchant is always firmly scheduled and is awaited by us with great pleasure. Many years ago, I bought my first Daisy ring there and every year new, very special, and much admired pieces of jewelry were added.On our last visit we had jewelry from my mother-in-law from the 70s remade. Jackie made very competently creative and modern suggestions that we enthusiastically agreed to and they were done in short order.I wear the pieces daily and they have been admired many times.We are already looking forward to our next visit to Penchant.

Penchant Design and Jackie designed and produced a engagement ring for my fiancée. The entire process from initial meeting until delivery was a smooth and professional customer experience! Their communication was key to taking away the stress that I had. Nowhere else I would have been able to custom design the ring as I did with Penchant Design and no idea was too daring for them! They are the one and only jewelry designers I would recommend. Thanks Jackie and team!

They were brilliant.They took over the business from the previous owners, and when my engagement ring gave some issues, they rebuilt the entire ring, at their own costs. I didnt even have to drive to Franschhoek. They had the ring collected and delivered again.Perfect customer care and quality work.

I purchased my beautiful Penchant daisy earrings as a birthday gift to myself. Daisies have a special place in my heart, as it reminds me of my days as a young girl being adorned with daisy chains my older brothers would make for me. When I lost one of my earrings, Penchant design came to the rescue and remade a duplicate earring at the drop of a hat. Fabulous, professional, friendly service all round!

In June of 2016, while visiting South Africa with my partner Brenda we ventured into Penchant Design and saw many beautiful things. Brenda doesnt wear much jewellery but managed to spy a lovely Tanzanite ring in the case that took her fancy. The blue colour was amazing. Brenda, a Naturopath, was scheduled to take a private tour of the herb garden down the road and learn about the local flora and its medicinal properties and I had a crazy idea. I knew that sometime in the future I would propose and something about this ring spoke to me. I snuck back to the store and purchased it, carefully hiding all of this from Brenda. Flash forward, its now 2020 and I recently proposed to Brenda on her birthday, presenting her with the Penchant ring. She loved it and had many questions that after four years I couldnt quite remember. I contacted Jackie and she quickly responded with copies of paperwork and all of my questions answered. I knew in 2016 that this was the right place, and now in 2020, Im still convinced that whether your needs are for a momentary delight, and stylish thank you or a once in a lifetime token - Penchant Design has something for you. Thank you Jackie and everyone involved in creating a lasting memory.

Engagements are such special events that mark the beginning of a life long journey. An engagement ring forms an essential symbol of not just the engagement, but also the marriage journey. We are grateful for this treasured symbol designed and crafted by Penchant Design.

Thank you so much to Jackie and the team at Penchant for making such a beautiful tanzanite pendant. I live in Guernsey (British Channel Islands) but being familiar with the lovely village of Franschhoek in S.A. I decided to enquire about Tanzanite for my daughters BIG birthday. Being remote was something of a worry for me living so far away but I need have none!.The piece is stunning and it was ordered, manufactured and arrived at my home all within four weeks. Fantastic service and would thoroughly recommend and will of course be back for more.

I am a longstanding fan of Penchant and have bought several daisy earrings at Penchant for gifts to my family and it was always beautiful and professionally made with the best quality materials. I have since asked for a specific necklace to be designed and customized to my requirements, again the job was perfectly executed and couriered in record time to me.3 years ago, I happened to be at the store whilst celebrating my 30th wedding anniversary and needless to say, my hubby bought me a magnificent silver and rosegold daisy ring which I treasure with all my heart.I highly recommend Penchant. Jackie and her team are highly professional and a pleasure to do business with!

OUTRAGEOUS!! Bought a neckless with diamonds and tanzanite for about $1.200 and then saw the exact same design in another store, for $800!! Plus, the one I purchased was 0.7ct, and this one was 0.99ct! I feel like the perfect stupid turist, how can someone call them honest? Thing is, it was my last day of the trip, otherwise I would have come and returned it. RIDICULOUS! Hope nodobody falls for that anymore.
