Our Origin Story
Our founder, Tracey, always knew she wanted to pursue a creative career, but could never quite pinpoint what that should be, until her father arranged a meeting with a local jeweller. That conversation led her to study Creative Jewellery Design at the University of Stellenbosch.
However, the real spark happened when she crafted a one-of-a-kind engagement ring for her brother's fiancée. Selecting the stone, bringing his vision to life, and seeing the joy that single piece brought revealed the true magic of the craft.
In 2016, just three months before her own wedding, Tracey launched Kolmio™. What started as custom bridal designs quickly grew as clients returned asking for versatile diamond studs and gold rings they could wear every day.
Seeing a need for heirloom-quality fine jewellery that clients could trust and shop with confidence from home, Kolmio launched its first online collection in 2020.
