A jewel of a relationship…

Gary and Chantell Wild grew up in the eastern Cape, South Africa, before moving to KwaZulu-Natal. Gary studied fine arts and spent a few years working before deciding to start his own jewellery business, wildbYdesign.  Chantell travelled and lived in Israel, Tel Aviv, for a number of years before returning to study jewellery at DUT, Kwazulu Natal.  Her focus was on amulets, which has added a soulful flavour her work. Gary and Chantell co-own ‘wildbYdesign’ and can be found trading at the I Heart, Bulwer, Wonder and Essenwood markets in Durban.

wildbYdesign is the creative expression of Gary and Chantell Wild.  Their work aims to create harmony between the precious and ‘not so precious’ – a marriage of ingredients thrown together in a homegrown brew of heart and soul.

Their materials of choice are silver and gold, gemstones, resin and acrylic, wood and various found objects. They invite you to supply your own gems/old jewellery or objects of choice for added sentimentality in custom designs.

They also offer a part time jewellery course for those who wish to learn the trade. You may contact them on info@wildbydesign.co.za. 073 850 8937 / 0768 2345 23 info@ wildbydesign.co.za.
