Saying farewell to Ode to the Ocean

Saying farewell to Ode to the Ocean

Just as the tides come and go, so does each Dear Rae collection. A little over 3 years ago we unveiled Ode to the Ocean - a joyful collection of oceanic heirlooms that celebrated Karin’s love for the sea. Although our Community has delighted in our ocean-inspired jewels, the time has now come to bid this collection farewell - with the exception of a few favourites, of course. From today, Ode to the Ocean will be available to purchase for one more month. We’ll be taking final orders up until 8 July 2022.   ODE TO THE OCEAN The kiss of...

A very happy Mother’s Day from Dear Rae founder and designer - Karin Rae.

A very happy Mother’s Day from Dear Rae founder and designer - Karin Rae.

A message from Karin "I’m less than two months away from meeting my very first baby, and I can already feel the process of pregnancy teaching me to let go of the concept of control and having to really trust my body to do its thing. The ongoing shift is not always easy as I often try to hold onto my old ways of thinking and being, but I am so grateful for this process for teaching me to experience life from a new perspective. I’m sure it will only grow in momentum as I step into motherhood. Here’s to all...

ASHYAA ~ Our international stockist in Sharjah ~

 Back in 2016, Noura was visiting South Africa when - by chance - she wandered into Dear Rae. It was love at first jewel and she wasted no time inquiring about stocking Dear Rae Jewellery at Ashyaa, her exquisite store in Sharjah, UAE.  Ashyaa was our only international stockist before the launch of Dear Rae World in 2020 - so next time you’re in the Emirates, be sure to show this magnificent store some love where you’ll find everything from jewels and homeware to fragrance, beauty and textiles. Join us as we chat to Noura about her store in the Desert of...

DEAR RAE LOVE STORIES ~ Anabelle & Rafi ~

We adore unique love stories. And lucky for us, we get to be a part of them all the time. Just recently, we had Annabelle visit our custom designers to create a one-of-a-kind engagement ring for her boyfriend - and now fiancé - Rafi.     How and where did the two of you meet? RAFI: We met as I presume most people do these days: on an app. What was different about our story is that we matched 2 weeks before South Africa went into Level 5 lockdown for 5 weeks. Though I wasn’t taking COVID very seriously yet,...

Conversations with Très Nagual

Conversations with Très Nagual

We recently visited the beautiful studio of our favourite plant-based and earth-friendly skincare brand, Très Nagual. Forming part of the South African Dear Rae Collective, we sat down to chat with them about their business, crafting process and philosophies.     How did you first discover your passion for making apothecary products? It feels like it discovered us. We were living on a farm in Switzerland surrounded by a small forest and distant mountains. It was early spring, ice was melting and the first flowers were coming alive. I guess it was also our passion. We were exploring new ways...

The Everyday Stack with Daniela Canny

The Everyday Stack with Daniela Canny

Something we get asked quite often here at Dear Rae is how to create a simple, effortless ring stack - perfect for everyday wear. While the notion of ‘stacking’ often feels like an overwhelming task that requires way more rings than you actually own, it’s comforting to learn that your everyday stack can just as easily consist of two or three rings - curated and combined in interesting ways. To showcase this beauty in simplicity, we reached out to one of our favourite content creators - the incomparably stylish @danielacanny - to ask her how she brings the power of...

LET’S TALK SOLID METALS

LET’S TALK SOLID METALS

  WHAT IS GOLD? Gold is a magnificent metal and something we absolutely love working with. Not only is it durable, but its colour is both spectacular and timeless - never rusting or tarnishing in any way. All our gold treasures are handcrafted using yellow, rose, and white gold.   WHAT WE DO: Gold that lasts lifetimes Gold, in its purest form, is 24ct. Besides it being a very bright yellow colour, it is also incredibly soft and scratches easily. A main focus at Dear Rae has always been to create jewellery that you can wear every day and that...
