From diamond engagement rings to bespoke heirlooms, this iconic family-run jeweller blends tradition with modern artistry, offering pieces that are as meaningful as they are beautiful.
The Rich History of Charles Greig Jewellers
Established in 1899 by Scottish-born Charles Greig, the brand’s story began in Johannesburg at the height of the gold and diamond boom. Despite the challenges of the Anglo-Boer War, the original store on Market Street flourished and soon became part of the city’s history. Over the decades, Charles Greig Jewellers evolved through four generations of family ownership, each one honouring its legacy while introducing new vision and style.
From the Roaring Twenties to the discovery of the world-famous Cullinan diamond, the jeweller remained central to South Africa’s luxury jewellery scene. Today, the Greig family continues to uphold this heritage, combining over a century of experience with contemporary designs that meet the expectations of discerning clients.
