MATTER OF FAKT IS A CULMINATION OF WHIMSICAL MEMORIES COMBINED WITH AN APPRECIATION OF CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN ADORNMENTS. The look and feel of the raw stone pieces is distinctly avant-garde where the promise of freedom and hedonism is equally as intoxicating as the dreamlike African landscapes this bespoke jewellery is inspired from. Founded in November 2013 by designer Mary-Anne Grobler, Matter of
Fakt was the result of what seemed to be Mary-Anne’s perpetual (and disappointing) search for the show-stopping, larger-than-life, natural-stone statement ring. Mary-Anne took inspiration from the African desert and its hidden natural quartz stones and crystals, discoveries she made whilst spending much time as a young girl daydreaming amongst the sand dunes of the Namib Desert when holidaying with her grandparents. And so Matter of Fakt is a culmination of Mary-Anne’s whimsical childhood memories, combined with an appreciation of contemporary African adornments.
