MEET SYLVESTER
Forged by Legacy
Carrying forward a father’s craft
Sylvester grew up listening to stories of his father’s work as a blacksmith—stories that sparked a lifelong fascination with metal. Determined to carry that legacy forward, he taught himself the trade and built a small workshop in the heart of Nairobi. Today, blacksmithing is not just his livelihood—it’s a passion deeply rooted in tradition and family.
The Blacksmith from Kenya
Crafting a Better Future
Empowering the next generation
More than an artisan, Sylvester is a visionary. His dream is to open a center where he can teach underprivileged youth the art of blacksmithing, offering them the same opportunity that shaped his life. Through mentorship and skill-building, he hopes to create lasting impact far beyond the walls of his shop.
Beauty from the Discarded
Upcycled materials, reimagined by hand
Each piece in Sylvester’s collection is crafted from 100% upcycled brass—sourced from old taps, padlocks, and coins. Plated in 18K gold or sterling silver, these pieces transform forgotten objects into wearable art. It’s sustainable design with soul—where every detail tells a story of resilience and reinvention.
