Ancient & Celtic Bead Jewellery

Jewellery with Ancient and Celtic Beads

This collection offers jewellery made with authentic ancient and Celtic beads, including Lapis Lazuli, carnelian and other semi-precious stone beads, as well as highly collectible Celtic glass Eye beads. Some pieces have a simple contemporary setting, while others are inspired by classic jewellery designs.

Unless a product description states otherwise, all fittings, spacer beads and construction materials are modern.

Designed Around the Beads

Each design starts with the beads. Our designers select modern wire, chain, clasps and other findings that suit their size and appearance, while allowing the ancient element to remain the focus.

Ancient beads were made by hand and are rarely uniform. Differences in shape, colour, surface and wear are part of their history and give each finished piece its own character.

Designed and Handmade in the Netherlands

Our pieces are individually designed and handmade in the Netherlands in collaboration with two local jewellery designers. This close collaboration allows us to make small adjustments to some existing pieces or, in certain cases, create a completely bespoke design. If you have a particular size, style or idea in mind, please get in touch before ordering. We will be happy to explore the possibilities with you.
