Vanrycke Paris: A Journey of Simplicity, Sensuality, and Craft

Vanrycke redefines modern luxury with minimalist gold

and diamond jewellery crafted with intention

—

When Lise Vanrycke founded her jewellery house, Vanrycke, in 2000, she set out to create pieces women could truly live in — jewellery that felt effortless, sensual, and essential. Her designs have always followed a simple belief: precious materials deserve restraint, and elegance is a matter of feeling, not excess.

More than twenty years later, that vision still defines Vanrycke Paris. Each piece reflects a philosophy of luxurious simplicity — minimalist forms in recycled gold and ethically sourced diamonds, crafted to melt into the skin and move with the wearer. Quiet, intimate, and unmistakably refined.

Lise Vanrycke: A Pioneer of Neo-Jewellery

Lise’s approach to design is rooted in subtlety. Often described as a pioneer of neo-jewellery, she creates pieces that speak softly but carry emotion. Her signature “skin jewels” balance precision and movement — deceptively simple forms that feel natural, sensual, and deeply personal.

She has stayed faithful to her original aesthetic, evolving her designs through quiet refinement rather than reinvention. The iconic Styloïde, reimagined seven times, is proof that true elegance is built through evolution, not excess.

The Brand: Simple, Sober, Sensual

Vanrycke’s jewellery is crafted in Portugal and Italy, where skilled artisans work with recycled gold and responsibly sourced diamonds, shaping each piece with an emphasis on proportion, softness, and wearability. Every design begins as a meticulous digital sketch before being sculpted in wax, cast in gold, hand-polished, and set stone by stone — a balance of modern technique and human touch.

The result is jewellery that feels quietly intimate: rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings created to live with you, gather memories, and age beautifully over time.

Latest Release: The Margherita Ring

For 2025, Vanrycke Paris introduced the Margherita Ring — a revisited classic that embodies the house’s effortless elegance. Composed of 21 or 7 interlinked rose gold rings, the design moves fluidly with the wearer, catching light and shifting softly with every gesture.

It’s the kind of piece that feels delicate yet full of character. The Margherita embodies everything Vanrycke stands for: simplicity, sensuality, and timeless femininity.

A Quiet Legacy

Nearly twenty-five years on, Vanrycke Paris continues to shape a new kind of femininity in fine jewellery — one grounded in restraint, emotion, and the beauty of everyday elegance.

In every soft curve and subtle line lies Lise Vanrycke’s original promise: to create jewellery that feels like a second skin — simple, precious, and profoundly personal.
