The company now also stocks luxury watch brands Ebel, Frédérique Constant, Gucci, Hermés and Tag Heuer. It is also currently the only South African stockist of the technologically advanced Vertu cellphone range.

Replicas of its award-winning jewellery are displayed on mannequins around the showroom, including the brooch commissioned by former state president Nelson Mandela for Queen Elizabeth II during her state visit to South Africa in 1995.

It caters to the tourism market and offers personalised workshop and educational tours to visitors on diamonds, tanzanite, jewellery design and the art of gold, platinum and silver smithing. A dedicated coach drop-off point for larger tour groups is found in the front of the Cape Quarter on Somerset Road, while midi and mini-buses have dedicated parking bays in Dixon Street.
