De Bruns began with a simple idea: That beautiful, meaningful jewellery should not disappear into drawers or melting pots. It should be worn, appreciated, and passed on.

We are a small Dublin-based team with a genuine love for antique and vintage jewellery. Every piece you see on our website has been personally sourced, examined and chosen because it stood out to us — for its craftsmanship, its history, or simply because it made us pause.

We spend our days looking closely: checking settings, studying hallmarks, weighing metals, researching eras. It’s meticulous work — and we love it. There is something deeply satisfying about uncovering a piece that has survived a century and is still ready to be worn today.

Our clients often tell us that what stays with them is not just the jewellery, but the experience of choosing it.

• The feeling of speaking directly with the people who sourced and assessed their piece
• The reassurance of thoughtful guidance and genuine enthusiasm along the way
• The pleasure of receiving something that feels every bit as special in person as it did online

That matters to us. We are not a large anonymous retailer. When you email or call, you are speaking directly to the people who bought and assessed the piece.

We buy selectively, we price carefully, and we stand behind everything we sell.

De Bruns is run by a small, dedicated team with backgrounds in gemology, economics, e-commerce and precious metal trading. Our experience informs how we buy, how we price, and how we present each piece.If you would like to know more about the people behind De Bruns — or read what our clients have shared about their experience — we would be delighted for you to explore further.
