👍👍 What a treat it was to visit Scarab. Janine created a bespoke piece for my mom’s birthday incorporating the birthstones of all her children - not easy when one is April (diamond)!! The result is perfect - a beautiful one-off piece, a little bit quirky but still classic and gorgeous, that can be worn... People often mention Janine, Scarab, ring, pieces, beautiful, piece, time,

    What a treat it was to visit Scarab. Janine created a bespoke piece for my mom’s birthday incorporating the birthstones of all her children - not easy when one is April (diamond)!! The result is perfect - a beautiful one-off piece, a little bit quirky but still classic and gorgeous, that can be worn in 2 ways. I am so proud of this gift, and the process was a pleasure from beginning to end. Thank you, Janine! I wish all my gifts could be made by you!

    Janine and her team at Scarab were fantastic. She transformed a pile of old, outdated and neglected jewellery into pieces that I will wear every day! I was so delighted with what she’d made, I put it all on straight away. Janine is warm and approachable, and I look forward to working with her again.

    I recently returned to Scarab with a wedding ring I bought from them 25 years ago that belonged to my wife. We needed to have a stone replaced quickly (I was only able to be in Cape Town for a few days). Scarab refurbished the ring absolutely beautifully in record time and I was so hugely impressed and over the moon. I really appreciate the lengths that the Scarab team went to - completely amazing.

    I recently worked with Janine from Scarab to re-design some pieces of costume jewellery that I wasn't wearing anymore. What a fabulous experience. I went with a few ideas, but Janine expertly guided me in terms of design and I am blown away by the end result. The costume jewels have been upcycled into bespoke, timeless, modern pieces that I can wear every day. Her pricing is also very reasonable and I can definitely recommend that you entrust your precious pieces to Scarab if you want a makeover.

    I took some old jewellery of my mother's to Janine and she helped me to refurbish the items. She also made me the most beautiful pendant using gold and a gemstone that had been lying around for years without being used. She's patient and really good at helping you figure out how to use what you have to make something that you will enjoy wearing. She also fixed one of my eternity rings and it actually looks better now than when I originally bought it! The quality of her work is just amazing!

    Janine and the team at Scarab Jewellery provided amazing service: creative, professional and personalised. I needed to replace my lost engagement ring and had quite unusual ideas about the kinds of stones and arrangement I wanted. Janine walked me through the process of creating a unique piece of jewellery which is not only beautiful but also suits me perfectly. It is unsual to find someone who takes the time to really understand what you are trying to achieve and works towards it until you love the end product. Thank you Janine!

    Picked up two sparkly pieces from Scarab today - a repair and an upcycle. Two truly transformed pieces - using what I had to add value and make beautiful. Thank you!

    I was thrilled to receive the beautiful silver bracelet I ordered online from Scarab...adding to my Scarab collection! Janine's designs are so original and the quality of work is outstanding. I was also so pleased to order my bracelet one day and receive it the very next day - what excellent service. Thank you Janine and the Scarab Team.

    Janine was a pleasure to deal with from the get-go. I approached her to get an engagement ring made (with quite specific ideas in mind) and she really made it such an easy, special and personal experience. I had very limited knowledge on everything to do with ring design, pricing etc. and Janine was always there to answer any questions and offer valuable advice. In the end, the finished ring surpassed any expectations I had - it’s beautiful. I highly recommend Scarab and Janine and am looking forward to future dealings with them!

    What an uplifting experience to visit Janine at Scarab and share her enthusiasm and knowledge of gems and jewellery. Every piece is crafted with care and love and she is willing to take time with her clients in order to assess their particular desires and needs. Whether it is to remodel an old piece or buy one of her beautiful creations, I can't recommend Janine highly enough. My advice is to make Scarab your first stop.

    I swear Janine (the lady in charge) can read minds! For both mine and my husbands wedding bands she created works of art that are even better than I could have imagined! She listened to my vision and advised accordingly. She took a very sentimental piece, treated it with care and the end result was perfectly unique to me. The most professional and kind lady. It was stress less (in a very stressful time) working with her! Her work is intricate and perfect in every detail. I don't see myself going to any other jeweler ever again.

    Janine and her team came highly recommended from several friends who raved about her jewelry and their experiences having pieces made. Janine and Co. did not disappoint! Janine created a custom ring for my mother's birthday using loose sapphires I brought in. Within just a few weeks time and during the peak holiday season, Janine and her team managed not only to bring our design to life but to use her contacts to get the ring hand carried to the USA all in time for my Mom's birthday. We could not have been more thrilled with the outcome -- my Mom absolutely loves the ring and I thoroughly enjoyed the process. For those thinking of custom creations or unique pieces you'll be sure to cherish, I highly recommend Scarab.

😠 Would not recommend. Nail tech is not qualified to do basic nails. She was spilling product all over the place. She was gossiping with her colleague about how little tip someone had left and hinted at me hopefully leaving something better. The nail shapes are inconsistent and the nail design I asked...
