The Reliquary Collection is our interpretation of a jewellery style that has existed since the 4th century BC, with origins across multiple cultures. It’s a style that has truly stood the test of time, with many original pieces still holding their inclusions perfectly preserved.

Reliquaries were created to protect what mattered most. They held everything from the ashes of the Buddha to the bones of saints and small fragments believed to carry spiritual significance. Over the centuries, they grew from simple carved boxes into some of the most intricate and technically impressive metalworks of their era.

These pieces were built with longevity in mind. They were crafted from materials like gold, silver, brass and bronze, and many medieval reliquaries have survived for more than a thousand years. Their sealed, solid-metal chambers shielded their contents from moisture and damage, while the addition of clear crystal allowed the relics inside to be seen without ever being exposed.
