Ronel Bauermeister is the creative spirit behind the jewellery range Topiary and Ashe. Ronel and my friendship dates from way back when we were messing around the Stellenbosch Art Dept together – she was studying jewellery and I was studying Fine Art. Wow, such a crazy, care free, happy time 
Her exceptional talent as a jeweller was apparent from the earliest point and it’s such a privilege to help her showcase some of her amazing work. Pop over to her site Topiary and Ashe to see more of her full range, and show her some Facebook love here. How lucky we were to have breath-taking model Karen Engelbrecht for this shoot and to be assisted by hair and make-up genius Chante le Sueur. Thanks is also definitely due to the Pretty Blog’s Nicola Pretorius for lending us her sublimely ‘scruffy’ chair and to Flowers in the Foyer for the blooms
