Description

Gardi, meaning the guardian, is a striking figure with intricately crocheted 3D wings, crafted from golden wire and adorned with shimmering golden beads. Her head is hand-felted from natural, undyed mohair fleece from the Angora goat, crowned with a halo beautifully fashioned from golden beads. She wears a stunning dress made from luxurious white ostrich feathers, sourced from the South African ostrich industry.

Angel Gardi Gold, along with Gardi and Gardi Silverwing, were the first angels with distinctive 3D crochet wings. Named Gardi in honor of one of the project’s initiators, these signature wings also feature in the Guardian, Kiran, and Friendship ranges, and inspired the Aarde range. The talented Rietbron crafters, the crochet experts, are behind these beautiful creations.

This golden angel would make a small but perfect gift for celebrating a couple’s Golden anniversary, or even as wedding favours. This precious angel not only enhances your Christmas decor but can also be used as a decoration for other special occasions such as Easter, Thanksgiving, and more.

Handcrafted in South Africa by Karoo Angels

The Karoo Angels story began in 2006 in Vondeling, a remote village in the Karoo semi-desert of South Africa. What started as a small craft project for community upliftment soon grew into something much larger. The project provided training to local artisans, leading to the creation of unique, handcrafted angels from wire, beads, wool, and ostrich feathers. The project expanded to include Rietbron, forming the Karoo Angels brand. These angels have gained international recognition, bringing pride and income to the once-forgotten villages.

GOOD TO KNOW: The sizes of the Karoo Angels can vary, as each one is handcrafted. This natural variation results from the artisanal process and the use of non-standardised ostrich feathers. The feather tufts used in the angel making are supplied by Cape Karoo International, globally renowned for their finest quality ostrich plumes. Each angel’s individuality adds to its charm and authenticity, making it a truly exceptional piece of art.
