About

Jeffrey Levin was born in Cape Town, South Africa to parents of Egyptian-French and Lithuanian heritage. At age 12 he was observing the craft of jewelry making in the family workshop. In his 20‘s he was formally educated and apprenticed in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Today, with over 30 years experience designing and handcrafting jewelry, he has launched his first eponymous collection, Jeffrey Levin. The collection references Jeffrey’s exotic heritage and rich experiences living in the United States, the time honored practice of hand carving and fabricating jewelry and the tactile fascination of the medium. While Jeffrey’s jewelry is a blend of dichotomies– at once classic and modern, organic and sophisticated, edgy and elegant– his collection captures the wonder of creating beauty.

True to his artisan roots, the Jeffrey Levin collections are crafted by hand, using the ancient lost-wax process. Jeffrey blends newer techniques with time-honored practices in order to optimize the beauty of his medium – for example, he employs the traditional method of fabricating his jewel masters in metal, while applying the newer technique of carving in wax. His unique “handwriting” comes through in each piece that he carves. The subtle or remarkable details are created within a frame of reference of mere millimeters, through to the finish which is a worked method applied to each individual piece.

A Jeffrey Levin signature, his jewelry are designed to be worn layered or alone. These incredibly touchable, tactile pieces go with everything, as statement jewelry for those who ‘love, adore and see beauty.”

Jeffrey is also a good citizen who gives back to the planet and society with a sustainability accord that guides his business practices and on-going charitable contributions.
