Umtha is a fair trade jewellery business handcrafting beaded jewellery since 1992. We are situated in Cape Town, South Africa, and supply the local and international market.

Umtha is a jewellery wholesaler – if you are a shop or business looking to expand your product offering, please click here to contact us. If you would like to order just one or two pieces of jewellery, click here to view a list of all retailers that stock our ranges.

Our vision is to design and produce quality, innovative jewellery; with a proudly South African flair; at affordable prices; to a variety of customers across the world.

It is also our vision to provide employment opportunities for low-skilled, previously disadvantaged South Africans and foreigners with refugee status.

We aim to make a difference in people’s lives; particularly those who have limited fair wage job opportunities. We train mainly women to produce our beautiful jewellery designs and at any given time we can have four different languages spoken in our building!
