The annual PlatAfrica competition has become synonymous with
excellence in platinum design and manufacture and, is one of
Anglo American Platinum’s beneficiation programmes. While the
company’s core competence is mining and refining platinum, it
facilitates and invests in value-added opportunities within a PGM
environment – including jewellery fabrication.
PlatAfrica is more than a competition: it provides an opportunity
to promote local jewellery design and craftsmanship and, it has
the potential to ignite the South African market and showcase our
country’s ability to lead the pack in platinum jewellery design.
The theme for the student designers was “Memories of Africa”.
These young designers were challenged to develop a saleable piece
targeting the tourist market to entice them to take home jewellery
made with metal mined, processed, designed and manufactured
in South Africa. Platinum jewellery remains one of the most sought
after items and, as South Africa supplies about 80% of the world’s
demand the eternal properties of platinum are a fitting memory of
South Africa.
“Fantasy” was the theme for the 12 professional designers selected
to participate. Their challenge: to create a spectacular piece of
jewellery for a fashionista, fairytale shoot and, to use their talent
to bring out the innate romance and magic of platinum jewellery.
The quality and the creativity of this year’s pieces truly reflect their
passion for platinum design.

2013 Collections.
