Gold reveals its character on the hand: in daylight, in movement, next to another alloy. That is why we run two boutiques, in Kraków and in Warsaw, where BELLER gold jewelry can be seen closely, tried on and compared alloy by alloy. Below we describe what waits for you there, what the designs cost and what stays included.
Where can you see BELLER gold jewelry in Kraków and Warsaw?
You can see BELLER gold jewelry in two boutiques: at Szczepańska 9 in Kraków and at Mokotowska 71 in Warsaw. Both addresses work the same way: we show the collection, measure your size, explain the difference between alloys and gold colours, take orders and stay with you for years of service. You are welcome during opening hours, and if a particular design matters to you, arrange a visit through the contact page and we will have it ready. How a visit itself looks is described in our piece on where to see the jewelry in person.
What does the gold part of the BELLER collection hold?
The gold part of the collection currently holds 406 designs, among them 149 rings, 109 pairs of earrings, 69 bracelets, 34 necklaces and 32 wedding bands, gathered in the gold jewelry collection. Separately we keep 68 diamond rings and 123 pieces of jewelry with diamonds. Every line speaks its own language of form: Raw is reduced to a single stroke, Elements rests on a repeated module, Liquid flows like water, Soulmate holds the wedding bands, Promise the engagement rings. The differences are set out in our guide to the BELLER collections, and in the boutique you simply see them next to one another, in one case.
How does 585 gold differ from 750 gold in the same design?
It is the same metal in different proportions: 585 gold holds 58.5 percent pure gold, 750 gold holds 75 percent. In the hand the difference shows in colour and is felt in weight: 585 is harder and quieter in tone, 750 has a warmer, deeper colour and a more ceremonial character. A higher alloy is not better, it is different. Almost every design is made in both alloys, so during a visit you decide with the metal on your finger rather than from a description. Gold in both alloys is hardened, which raises its resistance to scratches. We go deeper in our piece on gold alloys.
How do the three gold colours look side by side?
Every design is made in yellow, white or rose gold, and the colour does not change the price. White gold is plated with rhodium, a layer that gives it a cool shade and protects the surface; after years of wear we renew it as part of the service. Yellow stays closest to the natural colour of the metal, rose takes its warmer tone from the copper in the alloy. Colours are judged most honestly in daylight, so we show them by the window, not under the spotlights of a display case. The differences are described in our piece on choosing the colour of gold.
How much does BELLER gold jewelry cost?
Prices begin at 750 zł, because the sum follows the weight of the metal and the stones, not the name of the line. The Raw N°7 ring, a 1 mm band weighing 0.52 g, costs 750 zł in 585 gold and 1 200 zł in 750 gold. The Minimal N°8 necklace, 1.70 g, in lengths from 38 to 46 cm, costs 1 850 zł in 585 gold. The Soulmate N°21 wedding band, 2 mm wide and 1.44 g, costs 1 950 zł in 585 and 2 650 zł in 750. The Elements N°1 rigid bracelet, holding 7.17 g of solid gold, costs 5 850 zł in 585 gold. Pieces set with diamonds reach several tens of thousands, because a stone of high colour costs more than the gold that holds it. All our designs are made from solid gold, never hollow sheet, and the weight shows it at once.
How do we measure your size during a visit?
We measure size with a ring gauge, then check it on the finished piece, because the width of a band shifts the feel by half a size. Rings run from size 4 to 20, rigid bracelets from 13 to 16 in half sizes, necklaces in lengths from 38 to 46 cm. If after a few weeks the ring sits differently, the first resize is included in the price of jewelry bought from us, and on selected rigid bracelets we adjust the circumference. The measurement itself is described in our pieces on adjusting ring size and on choosing a bangle size.
What do we do for your gold jewelry after the purchase?
Engraving is free where the surface allows it, at the purchase or later, when a date worth keeping appears. Service stays included as well: cleaning, polishing and refreshing, and in white gold the renewal of the rhodium layer. It is the reason to buy jewelry where you can later bring it back: in Kraków and in Warsaw we take it in without an appointment. The scope of the work is described in our piece on jewelry service in the boutique.
Will you make a design that is not in the display case?
Yes, and it is the most frequent conversation at our counter. You choose the design, the alloy, the colour of gold and the stone, and we make the piece to order: a catalogue design is usually ready in three to five working days, never later than seven working days from the confirmed order. Our diamonds come in D-E colour and VVS1-VS1 clarity on the GIA scale, and stones from 0.30 ct arrive with a certificate from that institute. Coloured stones, sapphires, emeralds, rubies and tanzanites, are natural only, and we set them ourselves. A project drawn from zero is discussed separately, because it starts with a sketch; how that looks step by step is described in our piece on bespoke jewelry.
