About Us

NWJ is one of the country’s fastest-growing retail jewellery chains.

Established in 1983 as a small store in the centre of Durban, it has extended within 26 years to over 80 branches throughout Southern Africa.

As an NWJ franchisee, you can become part of a fast growing retail jewellery business in Southern Africa - a business that already has millions of customers.

How do you run a highly successful business built on diamonds, pearls and gold?

Simple... you always offer your customers great value!

In terms of the quality of the jewellery and watches on sale
In terms of the price
In terms of the payment terms (we offer various easy payment options)
Through having the perfect gift for every occasion
Through giving the right advice and information
In the setting and ambience of the store, and the store's location
In short, value through the total shopping experience

What is NWJ?

At NWJ we offer the customer all of the above and more. We offer the widest variety of jewellery under one roof, with much of it geared to the average spend of R700. Although we also carry jewellery to appeal to much more expensive tastes. Most of our jewellery is manufactured in our own factory to the highest standards and proudly carries the NWJ – SABS guarantee of gold content The rest is carefully selected by our buyers during their various overseas trips. NWJ is the only large jewellery manufacturer in Southern Africa, other than The Coin Company, that has been awarded the internationally approved SABS mark of guarantee of gold content. Thus guaranteeing the quality of the gold, be it 9 carat or 18 carat.

We also specialise in watches, carrying a large range of well-known international brands and carrying our own house brands.

Due to our massive buying power and the fact that we also manufacture much of our jewellery, we cut out the middleman and can therefore offer our customers top quality jewellery and watches at prices well below the market value.
