Launched in 2005 by a Dutch sculptor-turned-jeweler, Bibi Van Der Velden creates fine jewelry that blurs the line between wearable art and miniature sculpture. With a background in fine arts from institutions in Florence and Amsterdam, the founder’s approach is rooted in artistic expression and storytelling. The brand is celebrated for its whimsical and intricate designs that draw heavily from the natural world, transforming alligators, scarab beetles, and jellyfish into kinetic, high-jewelry pieces. The collections are crafted from 18k recycled and fairtrade gold, diamonds, and baroque pearls, but are distinguished by the use of unconventional, sustainable materials like 60,000-year-old mammoth tusk and iridescent scarab wings, giving ancient objects a new life.
