A jewel in the city

In the heart of Brussels, rue Lebeau 17, design and jewellery come together in the Collectors Gallery. Not just a jewellery shop but a true feast for the eyes. The shop contains tightly designed jewels but also exuberant little art works. The main focus goes out to twentieth century Scandinavian designers like Georg Jensen, Hans Hansen and Torun. But contemporary jewellery that’s a little more crazy is represented as well, for example by ultra-Orthodox Jew and artist Daniel von Weinberger.

Treasures from the past can also be discovered: vintage couture jewellery from the 1930s to the 1980s by the lis of Yves Saint-Laurent, Schiaparelli, Chanel, Nina Ricci,… Original twist: owner Betty de Stefano has a thing for vintage Barbie dolls and antique perfume bottles. These are displayed throughout the store which makes the lay-out even more special.

Collectors Gallery is a unique boutique with a surprising take on jewellery and a true discovery between all the chocolate shops on the Sablon. Worth the detour on your way home! Don’t worry if you’re not in Brussels as you can purchase one of these unique jewels by sending a simple email to lovely Betty…
