From religious art to jewelry, a finely chiseled history… the House of Holemans is synonymous with elegance and classicism, its style constructed from generation to generation, with respect for tradition and a desire for innovation.
Entirely designed, made, and set in Brussels, our jewelry is created by the expert hands of our in-house craftsmen. From their atelier in the heart of our jewelry boutique, our designer, goldsmith, and setter perpetuate the legacy of our founder, Henri Holemans, a master goldsmith, before the eyes of our guests.
This continuity, uninterrupted for one century, makes our House the absolute reference for artisanal jewelry in Belgium and Europe.
Made in Belgium, our jewelry is created by a goldsmith and setter in our own atelier, a choice that bears witness to our culture of craftsmanship and work ethic.
All our gemstones are certified, and our diamonds are sourced under the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), which guarantees that we do not work with diamonds from war-torn areas in Africa. We also recycle your gold to give it a second life.
Our jewelry boutique provides the necessary care for your jewelry. Cleaning, checking settings, repairing, the transformation of family jewelry and the recycling of gold are all expert services we are pleased to offer our clients.
