Touchwood, a Pretoria-based brand, is redefining the landscape of South African jewellery and accessories by blending natural elements with modern design. Since its inception in 2015, the company has garnered acclaim for its handcrafted wooden rings and watches, which seamlessly marry sustainability with style.
Nature-inspired craftsmanship
At the heart of Touchwood’s offerings are its distinctive rings, crafted from materials such as tungsten, wood, antler and gemstones. These pieces are not only visually striking but also tell a story of nature’s beauty.
For instance, the Mammoth Ash ring incorporates elephant hair and ashwood; while Die Dagdronk features brandy-infused wood, showcasing the brand’s commitment to innovative design.
The wooden watches are equally captivating, with models like The Mechanical combining zebra and walnut wood, and The CEO featuring ebony wood, reflecting a dedication to both aesthetics and sustainability.
Personalised elegance
Understanding that jewellery is deeply personal, Touchwood offers custom-made rings, allowing customers to infuse their pieces with unique elements such as fingerprints or personal materials. This bespoke approach ensures each item resonates with individual stories and sentiments.

Touchwood’s use of sustainable materials like reclaimed wood and naturally shed antlers underscores its dedication to environmental responsibility. By choosing eco-friendly resources, the brand not only creates beautiful products but also promotes a message of conservation and respect for nature.
