WHERE DID IT ALL BEGIN?

Founded in 2013 as a top-tier handcrafted product design house, Dimzique Jewellery has a rich history dating back to 2006 when Yvonne Manyiki established Yvonne Designs, specializing in the sale of women's accessories like jewellery, watches, bags, and hats. The business initially operated a stall at the Top Deck of the Cape Town Train Station.

Yvonne Designs' origins can be traced back to 2002 when Yvonne first encountered the arts and crafts market while working as a salesperson in Cape Town. Her mother's artistic influence was a driving force, as she fondly recalls being inspired by her mother's creations.

This personal journey of discovering passion through exposure to economic opportunities continues to motivate Yvonne to structure Dimzique Jewellery as a creative design house that empowers unemployed women, youth, teenagers, and individuals with disabilities to explore their passions through innovative jewellery design.

With a focus on this developmental ethos, Dimzique Jewellery serves as an inspiration to individuals of all ages, specializing in a diverse range of high-quality handcrafted, unique, and contemporary beaded jewellery designs created by our dedicated and creative partners from marginalized communities. Many of these partners, primarily unemployed housewives without prior skills or job prospects, are trained to work from home.

Driven by its inspirational journey, design philosophy, and customer-centric approach, Dimzique Jewellery continues to expand and captivate audiences at trade shows, fashion shows and exhibitions with its innovative beading designs and craftsmanship.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Dimzique Jewellery strives to promote sustainable socio-economic development by empowering local women, youth, and individuals with disabilities in marginalized communities.

As valued partners of the business, they have received specialized training and skill development to expertly create the intricate Dimzique Jewellery collection.

This initiative not only equips these individuals to contribute to the business's production needs but also provides them with valuable lifelong skills to support their own livelihoods.
