Andrew van Lingen – Your personal Goldsmith

My Journey

I began my career at Chateau D’or Manufacturing Jewellers in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1994. Under the guidance of Karien van der Walt, I learned to craft fine jewellery from raw gold. I later expanded my skillset to include working with platinum.

In the UK, I worked for Ascott Jewellers in Ascott, where I gained valuable administrative experience and had the opportunity to meet many esteemed individuals.

Returning to South Africa, I established Plat Gold Diamond Creations in 2003, a business driven by word-of-mouth recommendations and private clients. Quality and timely delivery are my top priorities, and I continue to stay up-to-date with industry trends, including mastering CAD design and 3D jewellery since 2009.
