HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
JAMBO!
Quality and Value, that is what we offer you at this shop. The glory of traditional African craftsmanship, and a graceful timely service!
In our workshop here we fabricate gold and silver the old fashioned way, using the very basic tools, a jeweler's saw, files and a torch. No reproduction methods of any kind. No casting, wax molds or art clay. Our pieces , consequently, are pure metal and robust, with a lifetime guarantee.
ALL THE METALS USED ARE TOTALLY RECYCLED
My default metals are 14K Gold and Sterling Silver. Any item made in Silver can also be made (to order) in 14K Gold and vice versa.
If you are looking for something stunningly beautiful, something that is truly and aesthetically well constructed, then you are at the right place.
Custom orders are our specialty.
Look around the "shop", I prefer to let the pieces speak for themselves.
To date, our pieces have been featured in over 130 TREASURIES. Here are my favorites:

5 out of 5 starsWhat an artist! Chisseko has done it again! This time with a custom 2-headed snake ring, made from gold jewelry that was passed down in my family. I reached out with an idea, something that I hadn’t seen done before, and Chisseko delivered. This is truly an heirloom-quality piece, one that I know will be loved & passed down for generations. Hands down the best goldsmith I’ve ever ordered from, someone who is truly devoted to doing things in the manner of the goldsmiths and artists of the past. Chisseko’s work transcends centuries, and I am proud to own multiple of his pieces. Thank you again!

5 out of 5 starsAmazing ordering process and product! I love seeing the true handiwork that came with making the ring. Only thing I can’t comment on is the sizing, but that’s only because I haven’t given the ring yet (but didn’t want the review window to pass). Chisseko was highly communicative through the process and everything was wrapped EXTREMELY well so the ring wouldn’t be damaged. I could rave about this ring and the wonderful customer service all day. Don’t hesitate to order!
