After 9 years as a retailer of contemporary South African jewellery, Tinsel, owned by husband-and-wife team Geraldine Fenn and Eric Loubser, has joined forces with fellow jeweller Liz Loubser to become Tinsel Gallery. With a permanent curated collection of some of the best contemporary work in the country, as well as special exhibitions and pop-ups throughout the year, the gallery aims to become the premier destination for contemporary jewellery in South Africa. Housed in a re-modeled space in suburban Johannesburg, the gallery precinct comprises a central display space; the studios of Liz Loubser, Eric Loubser and Geraldine Fenn; and a jewellery school run by Tracey Lotter and Rachelle Poon.
Founded in November 2014.
Gallery hours: Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, Saturdays by appointment.
