About us
A childhood passion that grew into a vocation and continues to inspire me every single day.
Founder
Kata Bethlen
My affinity for jewellery goes back a long way – a childhood passion that grew into a vocation and continues to inspire me every single day.
For many years I worked with antique jewellery, which allowed me to become closely acquainted with the world of precious metals, gemstones and unique alloys. In my work I encountered countless one-of-a-kind pieces imbued with stories – jewels that captivated me not only with their beauty, but with their timeless nature and emotional depth.
These experiences shaped my conviction that truly valuable jewellery is more than a beautiful object: it is an heirloom, passed down from generation to generation. I learned to distinguish between fleeting fashion and eternal elegance.
My aim is to create pieces that do not shine only within a single lifetime, but continue to enchant their wearers decades – even centuries – from now. Classic forms, exceptional quality and precise craftsmanship are the foundation of every piece.
Truly valuable jewellery is more than a beautiful object: it is an heirloom, passed down from generation to generation.
Wholesaler, diamond sourcing
Szilárd Kökényessy
Behind Bethlen Jewellery there is not a classic jewellery shop, but a professional background built on diamond sourcing and support for jewellery manufacturing.
As a wholesaler, my task is to ensure the sourcing of diamonds and gemstones of the appropriate quality efficiently, transparently and on competitive terms, and to support the production of bespoke pieces from design through to execution.
Through our international partnerships we provide a wide selection of natural diamonds and other gemstones in various sizes, qualities and price ranges. The stones always come from verified sources and meet international trade requirements.
The vast majority of our diamonds hold a recognised international gemmological certificate, which we verify with additional spectroscopic analysis where necessary. These analytical methods allow natural and treated stones to be distinguished clearly and reliably.
The family heritage
The name Bethlen has been intertwined with the history of Transylvania for centuries. The spirit of the brand draws on the same source: respect for craftsmanship and the passing on of values.
