Bezonder is the realisation of a dream; A dream that started with its founder, Johandi Ebersohn's first arrival in the beautifully set town of Stellenbosch. She arrived to study Jewellery Design and Manufacture at the University of Stellenbosch. Within her first week, she made up her mind: This was where she was going to stay and spread her creativity by making jewellery. Her instant infatuation w
ith the breathtaking scenery, grew into a deeper love for this melting pot of people and history, shaping South African culture. The word bezonder is a German/Dutch word that usually describes an item or event. It means: Peculiar, special, extraordinary, exceptional, outstanding, remarkable, even unexpected. Bezonder is what the designer strives for:
"I want people to look at my work and say this is bezonder". Bezonder Jewellery Design and Manufacturing Studio, is set in the heart of the wine lands in the town of Stellenbosch, South Africa. The owner is Johandi Ebersohn (Designer and manufacturer). Jewellery design is her "first love" and she focuses on silver jewellery exclusively. She is dedicated to creating pieces that are cutting edge, creative, contemporary and of the highest quality, yet very wearable and affordable. Her passion is to creative something different, artistic and special for every person and occasion. All pieces, both cast and hand wrought are made of sterling silver, precious and semi-precious gems, and more unusual materials such as LEGO blocks and Perspex. Bezonder specializes in handmade silver jewellery. The owner creates unique and creative jewellery, sometimes the pieces are made out of a special jewellery wax or clay first and then cast. She hopes to portray her passion and love for nature, art and all things special, precious and pretty, in her work and designs. The unique designs are mostly manufactured in sterling silver but can be done in any other metal on request.
