Olive Green Cat

Cape Town


At the studio of Philippa Green and Ida-Elsje, you’ll find the work of two talented jewellery designers, both of whom have caught international attention. Green’s signature pieces are her chunky Perspex cuffs, hand-stitched with patterns and graphic text, while Elsje specialises in delicate earrings and necklaces. They also collaborate on the striking Nunc range of diamond jewellery.
