About us

Pink pearls and a promise

Since its inception in 2000, Van Gansen Ltd has forged a unique identity with its innovative approach to the art of jewellery making. Specializing in bespoke, hand-crafted and limited edition collections, its designs are modern, sophisticated and stylish. From exclusive evening wear items to simple and elegant designs, Van Gansen jewellery transcends the ordinary.

With an emphasis on individuality, new designs are created and introduced seasonally to compliment the classic collections. All of the pearls and semi-precious stones are sourced internationally, and are selected for their fine quality and lustre. The artisan styles lend themselves to the subtle variety found naturally within fresh-water pearls and some of the unusual stones. Van Gansen will also design individual pieces to order, including bridal and special occasion items.

The Van Gansen collection is available through small, independent boutique outlets and on-line through our web shop.
