This stylish necklace is created by a progressive metal casting company in Cape Town, South Africa. A staff of nearly 60 workers carry out a number of meticulous processes to create each piece, from carving intricate molds to adding a antique brass electroplate finish to doing rigorous quality control checking.

The best part about this woman-owned workshop is the cohesive atmosphere. A trip to the site offers a fun look at larger-scale craft production done right, and every piece they export is obviously created with great care and pride.
