Dolores & Hermias Laubscher
Founders
Hermias & Dolores Laubscher was the very beginning in 1974 of what is now known as HDL Jewellers – a leader in the industry of fine art jewellery.
Being not only partners in business, but also partners in marriage, they built a strong foundation of trust instilled in their children & grandchildren. Believing in hard work they have had many successes since HDL Jewellers started in the early 1970’s.
Hermias Laubscher, the H in HDL, was a farmer of profession, believed in his wife’s capabilities & enabled her to live her dream by supporting her every step of the way. Initially he supervised the workshop & was involved with the manufacturing process of the jewellery whilst Dolores, the D in HDL, took responsibility for the marketing, client services, stock & new designs as the Managing Director of HDL Manufacturing Jewellers. This dynamic-duo raised two enthusiastic entrepreneur sons, Pieter & Johan. Hermias & Dolores mastered the art of knowing when to pass the baton as to ensure an ongoing legacy. Setting this example, their sons will do the same.
