Engelbert: Love, legacy and timeless jewellery

With over 100 years of experience, Engelbert has firmly established itself as a leader in the world of fine jewellery. Building on this reputation, the brand now celebrates the 10th anniversary of its iconic Legacy Knot collection by launching another four pieces. As always, these all showcase the effortless elegance, intelligent craftsmanship and timeless design that Engelbert has become synonymous with.

With longevity such as that of Engelbert, it’s difficult to pinpoint only one event that has shaped the brand into the diamond it is today. But one such milestone would be when Oscar Engelbert took the reins of the business around ten years ago. As the fourth generation of his family to run the business, Oscar had a clear vision of how to bring Engelbert onwards and upwards, and, in 2013, Engelbert opened their flagship store in Stockholm. Other brand milestones include successful launches at London’s Harrods and at the reputable Bergdorf Goodman in New York.

Fine jewellery

Engelbert is solely focused on fine jewellery, which essentially translates to only using 18k gold and natural diamonds of the highest standard. The latter means sourcing diamonds from professional traders in line with the Kimberly Process, the global certification system that exists to protect and regulate the diamond trade. ‘’Natural diamonds are rare and need to be handled with care and respect before they can be turned into wearable jewellery to be loved for a lifetime,” says CEO Johanna Pietsch.

Apart from striking collections of fine jewellery, Engelbert also offers an engagement and wedding ring service. All wedding and engagement rings are made in the brand’s Stockholm workshop and are in line with Engelbert’s outstanding standards.

Love and legacy

One of Engelbert’s absolute bestsellers is The Legacy Knot collection, which is made up of rings, bangles and necklaces, all recognised for their distinctive twisted silhouette which represents love and continuity. In celebration of the collection’s tenth birthday, two exclusive necklaces and bracelets under the name The Legacy Knot Big have just been launched to enrich the collection. These statement pieces are presented in two different versions: in high-polished 18k gold, and an exclusive diamond-set version in 18k white gold. The bracelet achieves a carat weight of 18.53 carats. The necklace features over 1800 brilliant-cut diamonds, achieving a carat weight of 33.78 carats with rare white diamonds graded G/VS.

“The Legacy Knot is a trademark for Engelbert. Not just thanks to its beautiful shape, but also because of its symbolic value, like connecting with those around you. That’s also why we call it The Legacy Knot, as it indicates a sense of belonging and encourages bonds across generations. Over the years, The Legacy Knot has also become a hugely popular gift to celebrate love. And now that the collection has reached its 10-year milestone, it feels nice to credit its original shape through the addition of The Legacy Knot Big,” says Pietsch.

The Legacy Knot Collection celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2024.

The shape of Engelbert

Appointed in 1985, designer Thomas Carlsson has over 30 years of experience creating magic for Engelbert and is known for his unique and organic designs. He works with a design team to bring ideas from the initial idea to the finished product, which can be a slow and challenging process. “Fine jewellery simply can’t be rushed,” stresses Pietsch. “The Engelbert DNA is for our pieces to be recognisable through organic shapes and a somewhat bold minimalism.”

The results are pieces that are loved worldwide and have been worn by celebrities and big names like Adele, Kris Jenner, Bella Hadid and the Swedish royal family. In essence, the creations are tasteful and easy to wear, generally adored for their seamless simplicity.

Layers of golden splendor is a signature look of the brand.
