Welcome to the Gilbert Ford Jewellery Family
For decades, Gilbert Ford Jewellers has been synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship, personalized service, and timeless elegance. Our journey began with a commitment to creating jewelry that tells your unique story, and that dedication continues to guide us today.

Our Team Leader: Rudi Campbell
The jewellery trade saw the arrival of Rudi Campbell in the late 70's when he joined a company called Transvaal Tiger's Eye, sourcing and locating coloured gemstones. His passion for the craft was evident from the start.
Rudi joined Gilbert Ford Jewellers in 1983 as a sales assistant, planting the seed for what was to become a long and illustrious career in the trade. The two owners at the time, Roger Francis and Gerald Fearnside, noticed a passion in the young man and swiftly took him under wing.
Today, Rudi leads our team with the same enthusiasm and dedication that marked his early years. He has established a reputation for nurturing the values that our loyal customer base subscribes to, ensuring every piece we create meets the highest standards of excellence.
