CELINE DAOUST
Jewelry That Carries Meaning, Close to the Skin.
At Celine Daoust, jewelry is conceived as something deeply personal. More than adornment, each piece is designed as a modern talisman, carrying meaning, intention, and beauty close to the skin. Founded in 2008 by Belgian designer Céline d’Aoust, the house has become known for fine jewelry that sits at the intersection of spirituality, ancestral craftsmanship, and contemporary design.
Céline’s creative world has been shaped by place as much as philosophy. From Brussels to the vibrant gem markets of Jaipur, and later Paris, each chapter has contributed to a visual language rich in colour, symbolism, and cultural depth. Jaipur, in particular, left a lasting imprint. Its centuries old gem cutting traditions and reverence for craftsmanship continue to inform the brand’s approach to stone, colour, and form.
Every Celine Daoust piece is handcrafted in 14k gold by skilled artisans and set with ethically sourced gemstones. Tourmalines, sapphires, emeralds, grey diamonds, and moonstones are selected not for flawless uniformity, but for their individuality. Inclusions, soft hues, and subtle irregularities are embraced as part of each stone’s character, lending every jewel a sense of life and quiet energy.
There is an intuitive quality to the way Céline works with gemstones. Colour combinations are guided as much by feeling as by aesthetics, resulting in pairings that feel poetic rather than conventional. Pale sapphires sit alongside moonstones, earthy diamonds meet luminous emeralds, and stones are often cut to preserve their natural form rather than maximise brilliance. The result is jewelry that feels emotional, instinctive, and deeply human.
Much of the brand’s work is conceived as one of a kind or produced in small series. These pieces celebrate rarity and individuality, reinforcing the idea that jewelry should be as personal as the person wearing it. Rings are designed to be stacked, worn daily, and lived in, with stones set low and nestled into gold so they feel protective and close to the body.
Aesthetically, Celine Daoust occupies a distinctive space. The jewelry is undeniably feminine, yet grounded. Matte gold finishes, organic silhouettes, and softly structured settings prevent the pieces from ever feeling overly precious. There is a sense of spirituality, but it is quiet and modern, offering meaning without prescription and allowing the wearer to attach their own story to each piece.
Equally central to the brand is a strong commitment to ethical and sustainable practices. From responsible gemstone sourcing to thoughtful production methods, Celine Daoust creates modern heirlooms designed to endure both physically and emotionally. These are jewels made to accompany life’s journey, gathering memory and meaning over time.
