Craig was born and grew up near Johannesburg, South Africa. Upon finishing school he became an apprentice for the esteemed Master Craftsman and South African jeweller, Sid Forman. He qualified just two years into a four-year course, starting originally as a setter then finishing as a mounter - even winning the Apprentice of the Year award along the way.
Creating new and unique pieces is our speciality. We are proud to have the most comprehensive and highly skilled jewellery workshop in Norwich, where we have combined traditional techniques with the best of modern technology to produce our work. Our designers are experts in Matrix - the jewellery industry's leading computer aided design (CAD) software - which means we produce photo-realistic rendered images of our designs.
Sonkai Jewellers have been trading in Norwich for nearly 15 years; first opening in 2006 on Exchange Street, then moving to Dove Street in 2011, and now to our beautiful new home in Norwich's Royal Arcade at the end of 2019. We couldn't be prouder of how far we have come and it's a real privilege to be in such an iconic local setting.

Redesign
I inherited 2 rings which I couldn't wear.
With Mallory's excellent design work, combining the gem stones from both and Craig's brilliant craftsmanship I now have a beautiful ring that I love wearing.
The service from start to finish was perfect, I can't thank them enough and will always recommend their services.

I can't recommend Sonkai Jewellers enough. Craig made my beautiful bespoke wedding ring seven years ago, and then recently repaired my engagement ring so that it looks like new. The whole team here are very knowledgeable, friendly and professional and provide a level of customer service that goes way beyond expectations!

Sonkai jewellers have done an excellent job resizing my ring, which no longer fitted.
Thanks to the measures they have put in place, I felt very safe going into their shop in Royal Arcade, Norwich and they were so helpful.
Within a week my ring was ready for collection and its lovely to be able to wear it again. Also had a chance to check out the beautiful pieces available in store too!
I would certainly recommend them whether you are looking for a new piece of jewellery or a refurb or repair.

After one of the big ‘names’ on the High Street told me they couldn’t re-rhodium a ring, I found Craig and his team who managed to replate and clean it within 30 mins! I have also commissioned a bespoke bangle using the gold and gemstones from an unworn ring, which I love, and I receive a lot of compliments about. I have no hesitation in recommending Sonkai for their friendliness & professionalism

I just wanted to thank the team at Sonkai for the amazing repairs that they did on my wedding ring. The ring is 20 years old and was my mother’s wedding ring before becoming mine, it was custom made so it is a unique piece. As it is white gold, it needed re-rhodium plating as it had yellowed over the years. It had also bent out of shape and developed a fine crack on the underside of the shank.
I chose Sonkai for these repairs as they carry out work in-house and would not have to send my ring away to carry out the work required. I was also impressed by their custom work as it’s truly unique
