Advanced Products was established in 2024 to address the gap in locally manufactured quality jewellery on South Africa.
Advanced Products focus on training young people and people with disabilities while producing jewellery products.
Our mission is to produce high quality, ethically manufactured jewellery while providing accredited training and employment opportunities for young people, unemployment and people with disabilities in the jewellery sector.
The Kimberley Diamond and Jewellery Incubator (KDJI) is a business incubation centre established through a partnership between the Northern Cape Provincial Government and the Small Enterprise Development Finance Agency (SEDFA). Its primary purpose is to support the growth and sustainability of small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) operating within the diamond beneficiation and jewellery manufacturing sector.
KDJI provides entrepreneurs with access to specialised manufacturing equipment, business development support, mentorship, skills development and technical training to enhance their competitiveness and promote sustainable business growth. The incubator also facilitates market access opportunities and encourages innovation within the jewellery industry.
By promoting local manufacturing and value addition to South Africa's mineral resources, KDJI contributes to enterprise development, job creation and economic growth in the Northern Cape. Through strategic partnerships and industry collaboration, KDJI remains committed to developing a competitive and sustainable diamond beneficiation and jewellery manufacturing sector.
