Our Story

Born from the idea to create individually crafted, but wearable, fine jewellery – using Namibian precious materials wherever possible – Andreas Herrle and Benita Herma established Herrle & Herma Jewellers in 1990, with the arrival of Independence in Namibia.

While the centre of attraction in any fine piece of jewellery is most often the diamond, Herrle & Herma enjoys designing around brilliant- and princess cuts, cushions and baguettes or fancy colours. The Namibian Sun® cut in particular, designed and produced by Hardstone Processing (one of the first cutting and polishing factories in the country), has stolen these jewellers’ hearts, and the duo is inspired to create ornaments that enhance this stone’s unrivalled brilliance and reflection of light.
