Goss herself hand draws the items she creates and the pieces are brought to life by a talented team of goldsmiths, jewelers and beadworkers. Every item is produced at her state-of-the-art studio in Durban and Kirsten sees this as the foundation of her brand. Rather than outsourcing the goldsmithing work, she oversees it directly to assure quality control. Every piece is finished by hand with a meticulous attention to detail. In an industry dominated by mass production, Goss is proud to keep this masterful skill alive.
