Moorosi said customers can expect good customer service, white and gold diamonds and a variety of stones including rubies, sapphires and jewellery for every occasion.

“Our products are affordable; purchases can be made on cash, lay bye or credit basis.

We have an array of high-end, international brands that come with a heavier price tag and also a great variety of popular brands under M1 000. We cater for many different types of customers; males and females, young and old,” she said.

Sales assistant ‘Mathuso Mohloai said they were excited about the opening of the store and look forward to welcoming new customers.

“The jewellery collection ranges from simple to glamorous and caters to the tastes of both young and old customers. there is something for everyone,” Mohloai said.

“We offer a wide range of jewellery in both stores, American Swiss offers a more glitzy and glamorous look. Our ranges are fashion forward and trendy,” she said.

“Our upcoming summer campaign is going to blow our customers away and set the tone for the coming season.”

A representative for Pioneer Mall said they are happy to enter into a good business relationship with TFG.
