Sophie Deheinzelin

As a certified diamond grader and gemologist, I embarked on my journey in 1997 in Antwerp, Belgium—the heart of the diamond world. However, my fascination with jewelry was kindled during my upbringing in Africa's Ivory Coast. The sight of African women adorned in finely crafted gold jewelry, each piece a testament to their stories, captivated me.

From Africa to global travels, I've immersed myself in diverse cultures, always drawn to the allure of jewelry, gemstones, and the heritage they carry.

For over 30 years, Antwerp has been my home and the canvas for my passion. I've not only passed down my expertise to my daughter but also intertwined it with yoga through Sagess.

Today, I invite you to experience my private jewelry service, whether in person at my Antwerp atelier or virtually. Let's collaborate to create a bespoke luxury jewelry piece that mirrors your journey and resonates with your uniqueness.

Senior Advisor, Model, and Beloved Daughter

Currently pursuing a degree in International Business Management, I've been immersed in the world of diamonds since childhood, a legacy from both sides of my family. The opulent jewelry creations of my mother have always fascinated me, igniting my passion for luxury adornments. Inspired by her, I've chosen to walk in her footsteps, infusing my own modern and creative flair into the journey.

Together, with a shared devotion to elegance and innovation, my mother and I craft a harmonious blend of tradition and contemporary style that's close to our hearts.
