Shopify Redesign - Afrogem heritage jewellery store in Cape Town

I partnered with Afrogem — a Cape Town heritage jeweller established in 1966 — to redesign their online store. We migrated them from an outdated Shopify 1.0 theme to a modern 2.0 design that feels timeless, elegant, and true to their legacy, while giving their team more control and flexibility. As part of the project, I helped the team with brand messaging and conversion rate optimisation.

Moving a 1966 Cape Town jeweller off a Shopify 1.0 theme
Afrogem is a heritage jeweller based in Cape Town and established in 1966. Its online store ran on an outdated Shopify 1.0 theme, and Nutmeg Studio moved it to a 2.0 design meant to feel timeless and true to the brand's legacy. According to the studio, the new setup gives Afrogem's team more control and flexibility over the store. Alongside the redesign, Nutmeg Studio helped the team with brand messaging and conversion rate optimisation.
