About Shamballa Jewels
Shamballa Jewels was founded in 2005 by Mads & Mikkel Kornerup, who both had a burning desire to revolutionize male jewellery. Shamballa Jewels is founded upon ancient Eastern philosophies and strong Nordic design, craftsmanship and business traditions. Their logo, THE STAR OF SHAMBALLA®, is a graphic version of a double Dorje – an ancient Buddhist symbol and artefact that has been part of their journey since the beginning. The logo is a part of every Shamballa Jewels piece.
Shamballa Jewels delivers bespoke braided bracelets and custom-made pieces using diamonds, precious stones and 18K gold. This craft has been handed down to the talented production team located at the heart of Shamballa Jewels in Copenhagen, where every braided piece is made by hand. Using only the finest materials, a wide range of gemstones and various colours of gold, a Shamballa Jewels piece can be put together any way their customers want.
The Shamballa Jewels Flagship Store is situated in Copenhagen, Denmark, but the brand is present in approximately 50 retailers worldwide.
