Patrick Mavros Honors Mandela Day with the Powerful Kolisi Cuff

In honour of Mandela Day, luxury African jeweller Patrick Mavros has unveiled its latest creation: ‘the Kolisi Cuff’. A powerful tribute to unity, resilience, and the spirit of giving back.

Designed by Patrick Mavros Jnr., the sterling silver cuff draws from the emblem of the Kolisi Foundation, its bold lines quietly evoking the South African flag. Inspired by Siya Kolisi, rugby captain, philanthropist, and African icon, the piece carries a message far beyond its elegant design. It is a wearable tribute to shared humanity, or as the Kolisi Foundation would put it: ubuntu.

Handcrafted in Africa and available in unisex sizing from small to XXL, the cuff is made to be worn by all; from longtime Patrick Mavros collectors to Siya’s many supporters across the globe. It’s more than a piece of jewellery. It’s a quiet symbol of legacy, purpose, and the power of collective upliftment.

“With 10% of each sale going directly to the Kolisi Foundation, the cuff does more than honour Mandela’s legacy, it actively supports it,” says Alexander Mavros. “As a family business rooted in African heritage, it is a true honour to stand alongside a cause so aligned with our own values. This collaboration is a celebration of purpose, people, and the power of Africa.”

The Kolisi Foundation works across South Africa to support underserved communities, with a strong focus on food security, education, youth development, and gender-based violence prevention.

The Kolisi Cuff is now available at selected Patrick Mavros boutiques and online at www.patrickmavros.com
