Shamballa Jewels

THE REVERSIBLE SHAMBALLA LOCK BRACELET

The fine jewellery brand, Shamballa Jewels, earned its place in jewellery history with the iconic Shamballa Bracelet. Originally designed by Mads Kornerup in 2001, the bracelet’ s audacious mix of lavish gems and diamonds united with a humble thread went on to become a design icon, as the refined but casual design influenced a new trend of fine jewellery that that can be worn every day.
NORDIC DESGN AND EASTERN PHILOSOPHY Following the success of the Shamballa Bracelet, the brothers Mads and Mikkel Kornerup established the jewellery brand Shamballa Jewels in 2005, and together they expanded the repertoire to also include necklaces, cufflinks, rings and earrings – all reflecting the jewellery brand’ s signature blend of ancient Eastern philosophy and cutting edge Nordic design. Being equally fused by tradition and innovation, Shamballa Jewels aspires towards creating jewellery for the globally adventurous and self-confident individual who is looking for something extraordinary. The latest addition to the Shamballa Jewels collections is a true reflection of this – a modern and interactive interpretation of the classic Shamballa Bracelet; the reversible Shamballa Lock Bracelet.
LOCK BEADS HANDCRAFTED WITH METICULOUS CARE True to the core values of Shamballa Jewels, the Shamballa Lock Bracelet goes hand in hand with superior quality and craftsmanship, and is made by hand using only the highest quality natural gems. All diamonds used are G / vs, and as no two natural gems share the same colour, each lock bead is reviewed meticulously for quality, size and colour. Each lock bead takes over 10 hours to make, passing through the hands of seven master craftsmen specialised in seven different steps in order to turn raw gems into square lock beads.
EXTRAORDINARY INNOVATION AND CUSTOMIZATION As for every Shamballa Jewels creation, the Lock Bracelet is entirely customisable in its design making it a unique and personal treasure that reflects the wearer’ s individuality. Each bracelet has at least one 18K gold lock bead imbued with the Star of Shamballa – the recurring motif of Shamballa Jewels – but from there on there are no limits to the imagination. One can playfully combine colours, diamonds, gems and precious stones, creating a truly personal piece of jewellery. Taking the concept of customisation one step further, the Lock Bracelet is reversible, thus offering the opportunity to reveal a new look when flipped, giving an alternative way to wear the bracelet depending on mood or occasion.
A REMINDER TO SHINE ONE’ S INNER LIGHT With the Star of Shamballa adorning every single design, each item is a reminder of a meaningful life, encouraging men and women alike to find inner peace, strength and tranquillity. The Shamballa Jewels philosophy is to remind people of their personal power; to shine like a star and radiate compassion, love, joy and wisdom in everything they do. Shamballa Jewels’ designs are more than just precious gems; they are highly personal treasures that represent one’ s individuality and evoke emotions, as well as a reminder of all things valuable in life – something that goes far beyond simple luxury.
