Hey, I'm Ray

Hey, I'm Ray Osman, the founder of Pretty Penny. My love for gemstones, business, and meaningful connections led me to create a space where nature’s treasures are accessible to all. Gemstones have fascinated me since childhood—not just for their beauty but for the stories they hold. Pretty Penny is more than just a collection; it’s about ethical sourcing, community, and bringing the magic of gemstones into everyday life. I’d love for you to explore this journey with me—where every stone has a story, and your support makes all the difference!

Our

Story

Our mission is to bring a touch of the earth’s magic into every home, celebrating nature’s incredible colours and textures.

Inspired by Durban’s rich culture and beauty, we’re more than just a brand—we’re a journey of discovery. With a team of passionate gemologists, we’re dedicated to not only sourcing stunning stones but also sharing their stories and benefits with our community.
