About Ralph Jacobs Jewellers

Our Story

Born from a passion for craftsmanship and timeless beauty, Ralph Jacobs Jewellers was founded to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments. What began as a vision to redefine fine jewellery in South Africa has evolved into a brand known for its honesty, artistry, and innovation.

Every Ralph Jacobs creation is more than jewellery — it’s a symbol of commitment, individuality, and heritage. From our elegant engagement rings to our bespoke designs, each piece carries a story worth remembering.

Our Philosophy

We believe luxury should be both personal and attainable. Our philosophy is simple: create pieces that are beautiful, ethically made, and designed to last for generations. By combining traditional craftsmanship with advanced technology, we bring each client’s vision to life with precision and care.

Meet the Founder

Rikus Kotze, founder and creative force behind Ralph Jacobs Jewellers, grew up fascinated by design, detail, and the emotional stories jewellery can hold. Guided by his belief that every person deserves something meaningful and masterfully made, he established Ralph Jacobs as a brand where integrity meets innovation.

Under his direction, the company has become a trusted destination for engagement rings, fine jewellery, and lab-grown diamonds — blending old-world craftsmanship with modern values. Rikus continues to lead the brand’s design direction, ensuring every piece reflects the beauty and brilliance that Ralph Jacobs stands for.

Craftsmanship & Quality

From hand-selecting each diamond and gemstone to polishing the final detail, every piece is created with purpose. Our artisans combine artistry and precision to deliver jewellery that meets the highest standards of excellence.

We proudly offer both natural and lab-grown diamonds, all certified and ethically sourced. Each setting is engineered for comfort, brilliance, and longevity — a reflection of true craftsmanship.

Sustainability & Ethics

At Ralph Jacobs Jewellers, responsibility is at the heart of what we do. We are committed to sourcing materials ethically and supporting transparent supply chains that respect both people and the planet.

Our lab-grown diamonds offer a sustainable alternative to mined stones, ensuring the same exceptional quality with minimal environmental impact. For those who prefer natural diamonds, we partner exclusively with suppliers who adhere to the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme to guarantee conflict-free sourcing.

Precious metals used in our collections are refined responsibly, and we continually work to reduce waste and optimise our manufacturing footprint. By choosing Ralph Jacobs, you’re supporting a future where beauty and responsibility coexist in harmony.

Our Promise

Every Ralph Jacobs piece carries a promise of quality, authenticity, and care. We offer free insured shipping across South Africa, transparent service, and a dedicated after-sales team ready to assist with resizing, returns, and long-term maintenance.

Whether you’re purchasing your first engagement ring, redesigning a family heirloom, or finding a gift that says “forever,” we’re here to make the journey effortless and meaningful.
