Paul Gibbs and Tony Prischl, both jewelers with over 26 years of experience, started a jewelry manufacturing company in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1975.  After years of producing many fine items of jewelry for both private individuals and wholesalers, they created the unique pewter "African Puzzle" in 1994. The puzzle proved to be very popular.  Paul and Tony saw the need for a high quality, upmarket range of gift products to satisfy the South African local and tourist market.  In July of 1996, ready for a change in careers, they formed their new company, Makoulpa.  Makoulpa means tortoise in Creole.
