Line Vanden Bogaerde

Line grew up with a great sense of responsibility for people and the environment. It is therefore obvious that she always chooses Fairmined gold for her jewellery. The Fairmined certificate guarantees ethical working conditions and provides a fair wage for the miners. For the diamonds, Line works with RJC (Responsible jewelry Council) certified natural diamonds.

From her workshop in Ghent, Line designs and makes each piece of jewellery entirely herself. So you can be sure that each piece of jewellery is made with love and attention to detail. The designer’s artisanal production techniques also guarantee ethical and fair working conditions.

Did you know that regular gold mining discharges tons of toxic waste into the environment and miners often work in appalling conditions? Read more about the environmental impact of gold mining here.

Line Vanden Bogaerde counters this by choosing Fairmined certified gold. For diamonds, the brand also pays attention to this by working with RJC certified diamonds.

Metals like gold and silver are always circular because you can melt them into new designs countless times without losing value. Gems and diamonds also retain their value and can therefore be reworked into new jewellery when needed.

All jewels are handmade in Line’s own workshop in the heart of Ghent. The gold and diamonds obviously travel a longer way. That’s why Line consciously opts for certified materials whose origins can be traced.

Line Vanden Bogaerde uses no animal-derived materials.

In addition, the brand uses only certified materials to reduce the impact on local ecosystems around mining sites.

The designer follows an organic process, using the material as a starting point. Each collection tells a story. The collections stand alone, but also flow – very organically – from the previous ones. This creates timeless jewellery that continues to add some shine to your look.

In this way, Line seeks a balance between rest and movement, reconciles timeless with contemporary and creates sober luxury that radiates without wanting to stand out.

By using high-quality materials, you can also be sure that your jewellery will dazzle for a long time. Lastly, Line also offers engagement and wedding rings.

With a piece from Line Vanden Bogaerde, you can be sure that the gold was mined in a fair way. Thus, with your purchase you contribute to a better life for an entire community and your ring becomes even more beautiful and valuable.
