the red bush story

Red Bush Jewellery is based in White River, Mpumalanga, South Africa and is the result of a pastime that turned into a passion that in turn has resulted in a business!  Owner Jenny Renssen, who relocated from Cape Town to White River with her family in 2008, is passionate about beading.

Having moved from the “big” city, Red Bush’s range of jewellery embraces the Lowveld surroundings, its bushveld and wildlife.  So a “Classical African” range has emerged, allowing you, the owner, to take home your own piece of Africa.

After many years in the Lowveld, Jenny feels privileged to have lived in two of South Africa’s most beautiful locations.  Although the Lowveld is home for now, the classical element of the range will always stem from the rich heritage of the Cape.

Our range includes earrings, necklaces and bracelets for both adults and children.  No two items are the same – we always ensure that some minor detail is changed.  So, while a particular item may share a similar pattern with another, subtle differences, such as in the ribbon, charms, or beads, will set them apart.

 Each piece of Red Bush Jewellery is individually handmade with passion and love in South Africa.

Red Bush has been showcased in many lodges, quaint shops, and farm stalls, and will often pop up at markets in White River. Jenny is grateful for the opportunity to create a range whose true essence is to spread love and make giving affordable.
