Meet Robyn Gibson, the woman behind Vivé Jewels
Vivé Jewels is a niche jewellery boutique that specialises in coloured gemstone jewellery and custom made pieces.
Designed and manufactured in Johannesburg, South Africa, all jewellery is made with a commitment to superb craftsmanship and quality.
Working with both precious and semi-precious stones, as well as in silver, gold and platinum, Vivé Jewels caters for a wide range of personal preferences and budgets.
My ambition was always to start my own business and in 2002 this dream became a reality!
When I left school I completed my studies and qualified as a chartered accountant CA(SA).
I took the entrepreneurial route after thirteen, solid years of work experience as an accountant. Part of it living in London and working in financial services.
When my husband and I returned to South Africa, I had my 'aha moment'.
I felt it was 'now or never', so I took the plunge and set the wheels in motion.
I don’t believe there is a perfect time to begin new ventures but I do believe that I made the right decision to follow my heart.
I have never regretted my decision.
