Intro
Tinsel Gallery is based in Johannesburg, and we are the only gallery in South Africa that exclusively represents the work of our local contemporary jewellers.

We are dedicated to promoting South African work and growing the audience for this kind of jewellery both at home and abroad. After a successful first showing at Frame in 2022, we are excited to be exhibiting again this year, with an exhibition entitled “There’s No Place Like Home” featuring a group of South African jewellery artists based both locally and abroad:


Featured artists:
Geraldine Fenn (Johannesburg), Eric Loubser (Johannesburg), Liz Loubser (Johannesburg), Samantha Vincent (Durban), Daniel Kruger (Munich), Anton Heunis (Madrid), Helen Clara Hemsley (Copenhagen), Gussie van der Merwe (Shanghai), Johan van Aswegen (Rhode Island).
 
All of these artists display an unconventional approach to materials and techniques that is at once distinctly original and also a marker of South African identity in general. Their work is fresh and exciting and we are proud to be representing them in such a prestigious environment for contemporary jewellery.
