Jewellery shopping in Amsterdam

  1. A

    Goldstrasse

    Some 14 designers from the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Austria and more exhibit here. One example is Amsterdam-based Marina Alexandre, a jewellery designer and teacher. You'll see rings (in gold, silver and silicone). Fittingly, since many of the artists graduated from the Rietveld Academy, works here are more like wearable art.

    Beadies

    Once the funky jewellery in the window draws you in, you’ll find yourself here for hours selecting gorgeous beads, gems, charms and trinkets to design your own necklaces and bracelets. Our advice: don’t start from scratch; opt for a variation on Beadies’ fab designs.

    On average five to six jewellery designers display pieces here, and there’s something to suit most tastes: from fine silver and gold twirled necklaces to cufflinks inlaid with pearls, or chunky bracelets made from heavy plastic Buddhas.

    Hans Appenzeller

    Appenzeller is one of Amsterdam’s leading designers in gold and stone, known for the simplicity and strength of his designs. If his sparse work is not to your taste, along the same street is a row of jewellery shops of all kinds.

    Beaufort

    Exquisite handcrafted contemporary jewellery is created on site; many of the pieces combine silver and gold. The necklaces and rings are particularly beautiful.
