From the hillside
"There is a particular kind of quiet in the fynbos after rain. Everything drips. The smell is something like cedar and salt and something else we have never been able to name. We went foraging last Tuesday and came back with our pockets full of small things — a quill, three stones, a fragment of bark with the most extraordinary pattern pressed into it. That bark became a sketch. The sketch became a cuff. Here it is."
~ from the studio notebook, April 2026
This month's piece
Doodle Cuff
R 520 · Brass · Land collection
The Doodle Cuff began the way most things begin here — not with a plan, but with a pen moving across paper without thinking too hard. The marks that came out were familiar: the same spirals and repetitions that appear on bark, on leaf edges, on the undersides of things. Bent into brass. Worn on the wrist.

"We have been sketching succulents lately. The way the leaves stack — the spiral when you look down from above — there is a mathematical precision to it that feels almost designed. We are trying to find the version of that which works in brass. It is taking a while. Some things should."

a new piece. a close observation. here it is.
"the lily, simplified until only the essential lines remain."
The Madonna Lily Cuff began as an observation drawing — the way a lily petal curves at its edge, the slight undulation that makes it feel alive rather than symmetrical. The cuff follows that line. Brass, bent and polished by hand in our Simons Town studio. Worn wide on the wrist. The kind of piece you reach for without thinking.

"every order leaves the studio wrapped in actual fynbos. that part is not optional."
There is something about receiving a piece of jewellery that was made by hand, wrapped in plants that grew near the sea, that feels different from the usual. We make every order that way. It takes longer. We do it anyway.

The unboxing~
"beautifully and uniquely wrapped in colours, textures and actual fynbos."
Every order from the Suikerbos studio arrives wrapped by hand. A combination of colour, texture, and fynbos collected from the land around us. It is part of the piece. Your recipient will know the moment they hold it that something different is inside.
Not sure which piece? Gift cards are available in any amount — they arrive wrapped in fynbos too. Because of course they do.
