The Re-Bijoux Collection

Handmade Jewellery Crafted from Natural Materials

Why do we offer handcrafted jewellery?

We understand the significance that a piece of jewellery holds. It represents a memory, a moment, a time in our lives where we want to communicate our love and connection through something beautiful. However, we believe that the story should begin before the gifting, which is why our Re-Bijoux collection is clouded in history.

Who crafts our intricate designs?

The Re-Bijoux Collection is handmade by our incredibly talented artisans that reside in Tibet, Nepal. After facing conflict from the ongoing Chinese invasion for over 70 years, local artisans have found comfort in crafting designs that tell their family story.

Let’s craft real impact, together.
