About – PHELINE PENEN JEWELRY

Limited production

As every piece is handmade by me, I work on a made-to-order basis and my collections are intentionally limited in production. This allows me to pioritize the quality of every item and minimize waste and avoid unnecessary stock.Through this practice, I aim to promote efficiency and preserve our planet’s precious resources.

Sustainable materials

I exclusively use sustainable materials like 925 sterling silver and 18ct solid gold. Moreover, each gold-plated piece undergoes a meticulous process, receiving a 5 micron layer of 18ct gold. This method not only eliminates the use of harmful additives like nickel but also guarantees the longevity and durability of the jewelry.

Local suppliers - antwerp based

My suppliers for tools and gold-platings, as well as my workshop, are based in Antwerp, renowned as the diamond city—a hub of global expertise and skill. By sourcing locally in a city abundant with top-quality suppliers, I support the local economy and minimize the need for expensive and environmentally taxing long-distance transportation.

About me

Hi, I’m Phéline, hailing from a big, vibrant and loving family where authenticity and being true to oneself is treasured above all. From my earliest days, I was known for my quiet, contemplative nature, often absent-minded and lost in the world of my own imagination. I found solace in crafting with humble materials like strings and shells, losing myself for hours at a time.

As I matured, I graduated as a Economic Engineer and tried to navigate my path within the financial sector, yet never quite feeling at home amidst the suits and numbers. It wasn’t until I crossed paths with my husband Xavier that I found the courage to explore another carreer journey and embrace the artistry of goldsmithing. By learning this craftmanship, I was encouraged to discover my own creative capabilities to merge timeless techniques with contemporary vision. Antwerp, renowned as the diamond city, became my crucible of learning, where I honed my craft amidst a backdrop of exceptional knowledge and skill.

Drawing inspiration from the wonders of nature, I am captivated by its ever-changing landscapes and ethereal forms. Nature, with its boundless strength and delicate grace, serves as my muse, guiding my hands as I shape raw materials into wearable pieces of jewelry.

In both my craft and my life, I embrace a philosophy of conscious and deliberate growth, mirroring the natural rhythms of the world around me. Each piece I create embodies a piece of this ethos—crafted slowly, with intention, and imbued with the essence of my own journey.

To whomever wears my jewelry, I hope you feel confident and beautiful in being your authentic self.
