Our Story
A Dream That Refused to Give Up
From a single stall at Welkom Square to jewellery boxes across South Africa — Gargo Time & Jewellery is proof that humble beginnings can lead to beautiful things.
Our Story
From NWJ to a New Beginning
Gargo Time & Jewellery, known as GT&J, was founded by Antoinette Sunet Dreyer, who has more than ten years of experience in the jewellery industry. Her journey includes valuable experience gained while working at NWJ.
Like many people, Antoinette faced difficult changes during the COVID period. Instead of giving up, she chose to begin again with courage, determination and humble beginnings.
She started rebuilding her journey through GT&J, serving customers from her stall at Welkom Square in Welkom, Free State. What began as a local jewellery business has grown into an opportunity to serve customers across South Africa through online ordering and nationwide delivery.
GT&J offers stylish and affordable jewellery for people who want to look and feel special without paying unaffordable prices. Our collection ranges mainly from R80 to R300, making beautiful jewellery accessible to more customers.
A Message from the Founder
“My journey has taught me that starting small does not mean dreaming small. Every product, every customer and every order is part of the journey toward something greater. Thank you for supporting a woman-owned local business and allowing GT&J to grow beyond Welkom Square into homes across South Africa.”
