Turning Malawi’s Treasures into Timeless Jewellery

Since opening his doors in Limbe in 2020, Armando Ferreira () has built a reputation for excellence, turning his lifelong passion into a thriving business.

Today, his name is synonymous with trust — whether you’re buying or selling precious stones and metals, or seeking a fair and professional appraisal.

With his wife Imaan now working alongside him, the couple have taken their vision even further, expanding into The Gem and The Jeweller — a brand dedicated to handcrafted, bespoke jewellery.

You can explore their collections online or visit their office to experience their craftsmanship firsthand.

What began in 2019 with Armando’s deep love for gemstones and rare metals has since grown into a mission: to promote Malawi while supporting the people at the very heart of the supply chain. Through responsible artisanal mining and value addition, Malawian artisans are given the opportunity to cut, polish, and showcase gemstones from the warm heart of Africa to the world.

International Women’s Day

Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge gender equality.

International Women’s Day (IWD) has been around for over a hundred years, as have many of the issues still impacting women’s advancement. Since 1911, IWD belongs to all who care about gender equality. Celebrate women’s achievement. Raise awareness about discrimination. Take action to forge gender parity. All IWD activity is valid, that’s what makes IWD so inclusive.

Sunday Art day: Jimmy Malinga - G’me

Jimmy, stylised as G’me, lives and paints in Malawi. Originally from Kasungu, he has lived in Lilongwe for most of his life. He began painting at the age of eleven, with a keen interest in portraits and land scapes, and occasionally abstracts. He works full-time as a freelance artist, working to commission or selling through galleries and exhibitions and also he is one of Art in the Park event team based in Lilongwe.

Working usually with palette knives in oils and acrylics and charcoal, graphite pencils, water color,
Jimmy’s art often captures the majesty of Malawi’s landscapes. A master of light, he casts ordinary people going about their work as his broad strokes craft lyrical settings around them.
By turns expressive and ambiguous, his portraits speak to the dynamic diversity of human condition. Often laced with humour or melancholy, his careful palettes evoke the interplay of a range of emotions, underpinned by technical excellence and flair.
