Of course, we will keep you informed throughout this period. If you have any special request, please get in touch with us via concierge@vangelderjewellery.com

Five multi faceted beads, crafted in 18k gold and finished with a radiant 20k patina, are strung on a colored, waxed cotton thread that honors the traditional art of threading.
The humble thread is among humanity’s earliest handcrafted artefacts, an elemental beginning for the creation of adornment. When fibres are continuously added during the spinning process, the thread can extend infinitely, never breaking. This enduring continuity has long imbued thread with a sense of sacredness and spirituality, a symbol of connection that transcends time and craft.
Gold beads, with their warmth and inherent purity, have historically signified protection, prosperity and divine energy. In this composition, they serve not only as ornamental elements but as enduring talismans—silent keepers of meaning, carried close to the wearer.
